What sort of keyboard and what is the use case? Like an on-screen type keyboard? Maybe just tell us what you want to do will be easier.

like a kind of virtual keyboard that simulates the touch of a keyboard

Certain apps pull up on screen keyboards when input is necessary. The homebrew App Store, for example, does it. The decrepit built in web browser has one too. It’s available to code against If you’re building your own app.

What is your use case?

My cheap sd card finally died on me, and I can't remember how to install tinfoil....

I have the link and files for tinfiol...but where is the install guide gone to?

 

[nefariouslegion]

I believe they both get their data from the list compiled by @matias3ds so I would assume they’re in sync.
I’ve not used Cheat Updater in a long time so I don’t remember 100% where it gets it’s cheats from.

Speaking of which, @Homlet recommends using his AIO Updater in lieu of Cheats Updater.

NOT SUPPORTED ANYMORE, USE THIS INSTEAD: https://github.com/HamletDuFromage/AIO-switch-updater​

here’s a good source for reading up on how Breeze works in case you are unsure.

https://github.com/tomvita/Breeze-Beta/wiki

again, use what works for you.

So trying to use Breeze again and having issues. I'm using Super Mario Odyssey to test since I know there are cheats for that. I opened the game, then opened Breeze and it said "No cheats available for BID:xxxxxxxx..." so then on the Breeze home screen I pressed Download > check for cheat database update and it says I already have the latest version of the database. But then still shows no cheats. So idk what I'm doing wrong? I haven't tried the AIO thing yet

If you need a homebrew app for installing .NSP files, I highly recommend using TinWoo Installer instead. Its what I personally use because its very lightweight and incredibly easy to use. It doesn't even need any prior installation; just drag and drop the .NRO file like any other homebrew application then you're good to go.

Hello guys, first of all!
So how do i update my modded switch?

I used this web site to hack my switch, install atmosphere and hekate. https://nh-server.github.io/switch-guide/
I modded it about 6 months ago. It read 14.1.2|AMS 1.3.2|E in system settings info of a "CFW - EmuMMC" after i moded it.
After that i couldn't install stuff using Awoo, but i followed this guide here and i got it working: https://gbatemp.net/threads/hacked-switch-help.615682/#post-9885440

After that i installed some forwarders, themes, games on it using Awoo installer, so i got bunch of stuff there now on EmuMMC.

Yesterday, i wanted to update everything, so i started using this one: https://nh-server.github.io/switch-guide/extras/updating/
I updated Atmosphere, Hekate and than i got to "Updating your firmware" section in that guide.

Im kinda stuck here, because i dont understand really that part how would ii do this. I read it all but i need help please. Thanks!

Updating your firmware is as simple as using the homebrew app Daybreak which comes bundled with Atmosphere by default. Usage is relatively simple as the prompts are straightforward. The only real trick is you have to download the firmware you wish to update to in the form of files that you will then place on your SD card. Since those are considered copyrighted material, no guide can link you where to find those but rest assured they are readily available illegally on the Internet.

I took this from my reddit:
The GameCube Adapter Accessory is not working for me in Atmosphere CFW currently:

• I have pro controller wired on
  I did the search for controllers method
  I have tried uninstalling sys con and mission control
  I updated fusee, hetake and atmosphere
  I used another 3rd party controller and the light shows up on it but it wont send any inputs on the switch
  I used other ports
  The accessory is set on switch/wii u mode
  I have disconnected all controllers via settings
• The accessory works on pc in dolphin, so i don't know why it is not working, maybe someone could make a app so the controller can be detected in cfw mode, because from what im hearing the controller is being detected in the switch linux distro

Are you using something like this:

if this is for something else not specifically designed for Switch then it might require a new homebrew. Requests for new homebrew ideas can be made here:

Hey, so I'm planning to get a 1TB SD card for my switch for hoarding reasons™. Does the difference of read speed matter between these two?

I would go for the cheaper one. As long as it's a genuine Sandisk, you should be fine.

I tried Breeze yesterday but when I attempted to download cheats for Super Mario World 3D it didn't seem to work. However when I used cheat updater and then went back into breeze it showed the cheats. Unless I did something wrong?

Since you guys are talking about cheats, is it possible to download the cheats manually from a PC to add to all-in-one updater offline?

I think cheat updater downloads from here gbatemp and maybe both do, no idea...

For now I only used tinfoil cheats as it brings them built-in without having to download anything though I had 0 luck with Resident Evil 6 cheats, none worked and I read their settings in tinfoil website res6 page but red faction cheats worked fine...

Ps: I never connected my switch to WiFi since 2018 cause I never had any need and plan to continue like that, not that I would care a single bit being banned from Nintendo as my sysnand is always on original FW like 3.0.2 or whatever it is can't even remember... I banned my self from nintendo and plan to keep my self banned from them than rather them banning me

But my recommendation would always go to Samsung Evo Select A2 512GB (all blue) instead unless you really can't live without 1TB...

I mean in Amazon promotions the 512gb Evo select A2 if you wait it's like 1\4 the price (usually around like 50 something $ in Amazon promotions) of the SanDisk 1tb A2 and it's probably very similar in terms of speed specially in Switch none will give their full rated speed as it's on PC only with whatever garbage app they need to go above the UHS I speed.

100% this. Avg speed on the cheap ass SDCard reader is 90-95MB/s so anything more is a waste.

Yeah, i can't really go without the 1tb, i want to dualboot l4t alongside my hoarding lol...thanks though, i'll get the cheaper one.

For anyone interested in mSD's...

This is the Hekate speed of my Samsung Evo Select 512GB A2 (Blue):

Note: it get a few MB higher when brand new before filling it with a lot of stuff which is normal (I'm using exfat)...

Currently in promotion for 47.99$ for US and last promotion for EU was like 58€ or slightly less (from Amazon Spain which is currently not in promotion there) and with free shipping on both. Also if there's currently no promotion, just wait they eventually get in promotion.

I heard they are exclusive to Amazon but are the same as the slightly more expensive Samsung Evo Plus A2 (white), but the thing is if you buy the blue from Amazon as a seller you are likely to either 99.9% or 100% never get a fake mSD while if you buy the Samsung Evo plus or any other from whatever seller you might always risk getting a fake and the hassle to return + the select is much cheaper in promotions...

ps: I think for now it's by far the best mSD deal on a solid good one even if it might not be the world record absolute best, but will surely be high up there without killing your wallet, it's just sad they don't make 1TB of this model

I’m pretty sure this is the one CTCaer uses and recommends as well. Will double check my references but I seem to recall it being the “blue Samsung”

e: can’t find the specific reference, but the guys on #switchroot talk about the blue Samsungs a lot so maybe that’s where I made up the reference?

Bottom line: It’s a good fucking card!

Your speeds are right on the money BTW…that card can go faster…it‘s the Switch’s reader that can’t.

 

[guily6669]

Though it's full rated speeds are still fake like any other faster mSD, I mean the like 120, 130MB\s... most fastest mSD are above the data bus of it's own UHS-I, but they are always by installing their respective software from the brand which I don't care, never installed neither on the samsung, kingston or Sandisk...

They sure have some hacks in the software, probably uses like PC ram as cache or whatever they do...

ps: Anyway STAY AWAY IS FROM KINGSTON Canvas React Go Plus or something like that, it's a fast solid mSD but at least the one I have in 256GB is not very compatible with Switch, SX OS never works on 1st payload, it doesn't read the card, only works at 2nd payload and Hekate does work at 1st payload but the speed seem to be locked always below 30MB\s on Switch while on PC I actually get probably the same or slightly better speed than the samsung blue Evo Select and for emunand the speed is very noticeable it gets a bit slower, even installing games is much slower...

the card was available on amazon uk for 38 pounds plus shipping but it just ends now

I am replacing mine "blue samsung" idk why and how but i can't boot it properly with sys-ftpd-light even on clean setup and fresh emu the card seems to be fine it is passing all the tests but the cheap 128gb transcend is working without any problems on same fresh files so something is not right :X

samsung is fine. @Riben is broken. Ask for refund on @Riben First offer will be best offer. Encourage you to accept.

 

[guily6669]

I only have the mSD for like a month but so far 0 problems even with OC and many sysmodules + exfat still no corruption.

In fact only had problems with bayonetta 3, it was unplayable always corrupting before starting the game always when loading and after many installs I just downloaded it from a different place and boom worked right away.

Ps: you might have bad sectors in the mSD, if you get any just send it back for a replacement or try doing a full format (not fast) as it might fix them.

If this card is fine so sys-ftpd-light must be broken but if it is working fine on other cards something must be quacky with Samsung but yea iam defienietly broken also but unfortunately iam not from amazon

yes, i was doing that already but there are no bad sectors on this card

Oh and BTW, I haven't forget about OC Suite on Erista...

.............
edit: ahh i see it is as low as 1,1 to go so hmmm it doesn't work at all or it can be pushed much more on that voltage i guess?

edit2:Basic kip max clock is 1862400 so maybe try to crush it with 1.1 volatage on that clock ?
Max voltage is range: 1100 ≤ x ≤ 1400 from kip values and it says "Acceptable range" so you can try to go lower i guess? Buuut again dont listen to me .

I have just tested and Erista max CPU voltage set to 1.1 volt on their latest ".kip" online configurator really seem to be working.

It's as follow (CPU):

408mhz ~825mv;
1020mhz ~881mv;
1122mhz ~912.5~mv;
1224mhz ~943.8mv;
1326mhz ~975mv;
1428mhz ~1006.2mv;
1581mhz ~1056.2mv;
1683mhz ~1093.8mv;
1785mhz ~1100mv (the max set 1.1V);

Unlocking unsafe frequencies:
1887mhz ~1100mvmv; and probably the same above it, really seem to setting fine 1.1v as max.

Tested with 0 load idle in Switch HOS and a lot of the values jump between 2 numbers and I type above only the highest number.

Ps: I used InfoNX from the @Cooler3D mod (4IFIR) for the voltage reading, so thanks to him cause I couldn't find the compiled InfoNX anywhere...
