Because Americans are lazy and like to wait for stuff to be done for them
not really, they don't like to teach others or point people to the right way.

I saw a lot a people in here dumping their games and nobody said a word.

To exfat microsd
But with fat32 they can be split I think. What error message are you getting when you run the command to dump?

stop calling this "launch/load roms/backups" with hekate.
hekate is just the bootloader used to launch a CFW (in this case chunks of Atmosphére with LayeredFS).
And that is also the reason why naehrwert made his hekate repo private and now it is not available to us anymore.

WELL DONE!

The dev in question foolishly associated his real name with hacking. Bad idea. He's a diva and he's naive. I don't care if the truth hurts.

Also, Nintendo sees no difference between hacking and piracy. He's been on their sh*tlist for weeks. Once again, the dev is naive and foolisly believes he had any positive rep with Big N or the industry. On the other hand, Nintendo has hired devs in the past, so skills can trump rep.

Furthermore, enabling emulation directly competes with their virtual console sales and also directly promotes pirating their IP. Emulators need roms and it's disingenuous to say that people use Switch emulators with legitimate backups. Those are stolen downloads.

He got sensitive and pulled his code. Fair enough. It won't stop anything.

His public tantrum (and the way he edited his post) also damaged his rep. I wouldn't hire him. I don't need any "help" from people that air their grievances with hot takes on a public message board. That's not professional.

He shouldn't be cracking under his real name and he should have handled going private quietly.

Nobody really feels bad about it.

The truth is "disrespectful"? Maybe, but I'm right.

Great tut ! Thank's for doing it !

Edit : Personally I could not create exfs and romfs.bin through hactool (Game is DK Tropical freeze and target Fortnite) but it worked fine with XCI2TitleConverter and I even got the saves to work even after a reboot.

unfortunately I cant seem to boot into romfs....
it goes to boot but just doesnt :/

Edit : Just tried using FAT32 instead of FATFS, still nothing.
It seems to compile the files successfully and say its about to boot but never does.......
I'll try again tomorrow.
