Hi, I have a 1st gen switch with the newest atmosphere, hekate, and official firmware. My Sd card is getting close to full. Can I just buy a bigger one, format it to fat 32, copy all files to it and put it in or will that not work?

Thanks,
Depends upon whether or not you have a hidden emunand partition.

Here’s a guide about this specific scenario:

Hey, guys so I was using Tinfoil and when installing software, there's a setting that says, "delete after". I wasn't sure what that meant before, but I assume that it means it deletes the installation file much like FBI asks if you want to delete the .cia after installation. Is there a way to delete the installation files from Tinfoil?

That’s only for nsp/xci files you copy over and install from your SDCard. It gives you the option to recover the file space after installation. Tinfoil’s power feature is online “shops”. The delete-after function does nothing when using shops to install.

Thanks as always for your advice.

Do you have a recommendation for the easiest way to non-wirelessly transfer files between computer to switch via USB?

Currently I use Hekate and usb tools, but that's a hassle to constantly reboot back and forth.

Tinwoo and DBI are great for non-wireless installation.

  • DBI — Capable feature filled and fast installer.
  • Tinwoo — A nice installer for when you just want to install.

I have tinwoo, but I must be missing something on the computer side to make it accessible.

Note that as per your previous advice, I installed NS-UPLOADER and it worked fine for installing games via usb. Now I'm trying to upload Animal Crossing mod files on their own.

Aha…just regular file transfers?

The easiest is sys-ftpd-lite and winscp, but that’s not wireless.

The good news is that DBI still fits the bill.

What does 90DNS mean by bannable data what data specifically get you banned?
Maybe it is:
  • Pirated contents: games, dlc,.... (what Nintendo sells but you own without paying any penny).
  • Cheats/mod to gain advantages in online section.
  • In some case, running modified OS also lead to a ban.
This is just my knowledge and there are more to be considered.
 
So gonna go for it again, after my SD Card died, just recieved a new one :D;
Can anyone explain to me how to use EmuTool?
If I create an atmosphere hidden partition with it, it puts the emuMMC folder inside the hidden partition, where I can't accees it,
also the whole SD card is blank after completion of the process, how do I create a partition for my hekate and atmosphere files aferwards?

The emutool is used to convert hidden partition to file partition, and convert it vice versa from file to hidden partition if someone need to move to a larger card.
 
Yes I know, I am trying to create a 476GB EmuNand, tried to create it with NxNandManager, but I couldn't get it to work so I am now trying to create the file with Nx an load it with EmuTool, but if I do that the SD card is formated empty and I if I create my 1GB partition for hekate afterwards the emuNand doesn't work anymore.

Why 476 GB when it normally 32GB or 64GB for OLED?

Yes, why such a big emuNand? Make a standard size with Hekate, and use the rest of your space for storing games and stuff, like most of us do.

No real reason, just to keep everything clean and completly invissible for the console. But I don't see why this isn't working.
