Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[ericiscool]

Is there any way to add a crt shader (preferably crt royale) to a non-retroarch game on a hacked switch, kind of like what reshade does on pc? or have it has a system-wide setting that you can turn on and off? I've tried it with yuzu and ryujinx, but the problem is the game I want to use it on doesn't run well on either emulator. So I'm trying to see if there is any way to do this on the real hardware.

Go through this carefully:

https://rentry.org/SwitchHackingIsEasy

When you get to the part about CFW make sure you chose the option for your Switch type that says Emunand.

As long as you stick to the plan you will be safe as can reasonably be expected (hacking is never 100% safe.)

I’m trying to back up my card since something is always happening I’m using hekate to do so will this back up my games ?

 

[raphzthename]

Followed this guide to backup and restore my emunand on a new sd card: https://rentry.org/EmuNANDNewSDcard

After doing so, launching Tinfoil gives me this error:

And launching it from the homescreen afterwards throws this error:

What's the best way to resolve this?

That doesn’t look like Hekate or NXNandMamager as called for in the guide here:

Your way may or may not work. Haven’t tried it to be sure.

Let’s start with the basics.

Is SDCard formatted as FAT32 or exfat?
Firmware and AMS version?
Did you update Sigpatches?
What version of Tinfoil and did you use the tinfoil.nro self installer (in title override mode vs applet mode?)
Please post hekate_ipl.ini

Everything looks good.

Let's check Hekate under eMMC tile and make sure it sees your emunand and has it active.

While we're there go ahead and run the Fix Archive Bit option...just in case.

 

[raphzthename]

It says Enabled. Where would I find the Fix Archive Bit option?

 

[evhoria1]

When running CFW for the first time off of EmuNAND, is it normal to see games which were installed on both the SD and sysNAND but have access to only what appears to have been stored on the sysNAND? Is there a quick way to make the EmuMMC have access to what was stored on the SD card when in sysNAND FW?

Mine uses RAW1…yours might be something else.

Rename/Move your emuMMC/RAW1/Nintendo folder to something like emuMMC/RAW1/Nintendo.bk

Copy the /Nintendo folder into the emuMMC/RAW1/ folder (where the old Nintendo folder was) should do it.

If not you can easily delete what you did and put the Nintendo.bk folder back to just Nintendo and you’re back where you were before.

Nuts…was hoping that was going to be it.

You can find the Archive Bit button under Tools like so:



We might have to delete Tinfoil and reinstall. Make sure you save your /switch/tinfoil/config.json and locations.json if you go this route and want to save your settings.

 

[raphzthename]

Done, it said 13 set.

I've tried re-installing Tinfoil and I hate these errors:

This is using the Tinfoil self installer NRO. Someone else advised holding R to run in title override mode, but that didn't do anything either (same errors).

Full context:
While backing up my emuNAND, I did not uninstall Tinfoil, delete my games, or unlink any of my shops. I asked beforehand if this was necessary, but I was told it was not needed.

When restoring my emuNAND, my games and Tinfoil were already on my homescreen. Trying to open any of the games or Tinfoill led to the errors we've been debugging.

Now when I try to do a fresh Tinfoil install, I'm hitting the errors in the attached pictures above.

Also unsure if this is related or not, but I'm noticing that all of my homebrew apps (daybreak, dbi, linkalho, nxthemes, etc) are showing Applet Mode. I'm not sure if that is the intended behavior, I never noticed it before.

Yes, you need to open hbmenu up by clicking on an installed game while holding down R, otherwise you will open hbmenu in applet mode (limited memory)

That advice was correct. It’s not needed. Not entirely sure what’s gone pear shaped on us but it shouldn’t have.

Understood

I believe you’re opening hbmenu in applet mode. (See above)

You might have to install a small game like Othello.nsp (small game on purpose) using a straight forward installer like Tinwoo.

We need at least one working game (to click and hold the R button down until hbmenu starts in title override mode.)

Installers​

• Tinwoo — A nice installer for when you just want to install.
• Tinfoil — Polished installer. Recommend the Self installing version.
• DBI — Capable feature filled and fast installer.
• Goldleaf — The kitchen sink but it can also install games.

 

[raphzthename]

Okay, I've installed a small .nsp file. Holding down R while starting the game boots in title override mode as expected and Tinfoil opens up with no errors.

It doesn't seem to self install though. When I exit Tinfoil, I don't see it on my homescreen. This is really strange, because I definitely did not hold R while installing Tinfoil on my old sdcard, it was present on my homescreen, and there were zero errors launching it.

Edit: This is a really dumb question, but what is the different between the self installer and the applet version on Tinfoil's download website: https://tinfoil.io/Download

Self Install: https://tinfoil.media/repo/Tinfoil Self Installer [050000BADDAD0000][15.0][v7].zip
Applet Mode: https://tinfoil.media/repo/Tinfoil Applet Mode [15.0][v7].zip

When I download and unzip both, they look identical to me. It states that Applet Mode requires Title Override. I'm 100% certain that I did not need to do a Title Override when I previously did the self install.

Applet mode version is stripped down a bit to conserve memory.

Maybe you did the nsp install version?

Regarding the advice to backup Nintendo folder in emuMMC/RAW1 and copy root Nintendo worked! So simple but I don't understand why this was happening and why there wasn't information on this in any guides. I was switching from a 128GB fat32 to a 512GB fat32, partitioned for emuMMC and created the emuMMC but the nintendo folder was practically empty. Ugh, anyways thank you again for your help. I hope this information can help anyone that experiences the same problem I had.

After using the self installer, should there be a Tinfoil tile on the homescreen?

Provided there are no errors, absolutely yes.
