Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[Draxzelex]

Disk Management can't see the Switch drive, I'm connecting with DBI MTP responder.

And this is inside Switch/External SD card

So in conclusion, is it safe to delete sxos folder here since I'm using Atmos? Will there be negative repercussion in the future in any way?

The only negative repercussion I can think of is that you will never ever be able to recover that emuMMC to use with SX OS ever again.

So I was using my hacked switch just fine and today I decided to download persona 5 royal. I connected to different wifi and didn't configure it in any way, just went to tinfoil, added new store and downloaded persona 5. Now I see that game's icon got an infinite loading spinner and I cannot launch it. I got also an error 2181 4008 which means switch got banned permanently. Also switch asks for installing downloaded system update before every game launch. How to make it not ask for installing update? How did switch get banned? And how to get rid of infinite loading spinner on game? I can launch game like Zelda now but mk11 asks to turn off air plane mode but it never asked for it before

All of this happened because you used a bad title installer. I'd highly recommend deleting the one you currently have and switching to TinWoo Installer. Its what I personally use and I never have any issues while using it.

I have modded my switch and am using emummc but after setting it up all my games are archived on the emummc. Everything is installed normally on the ofw.

emuMMC by default uses a different Nintendo folder than sysMMC. From here, you have 2 options. You can either have emuMMC and sysMMC use the same Nintendo folder or copy the data from your sysMMC's Nintendo folder to the one used by emuMMC. The former will save you more space on your SD card but some people are paranoid it may lead to a ban since they typically install pirated content on emuMMC which isn't the case since pirated and legit content appear identical in the Nintendo folder. The latter will cost you more room on your SD card but it also allows you to have a separate game library for emuMMC and sysMMC.

@Javanya If you read the post and used this thread instead of yours, you would have the answers to your questions. I linked you the title installer to use and you use that to install your games instead.

My switch asked and downloaded update when connected to new wifi. Now it even asks to do this update before launching every game. And also cannot launch mk11 as it asks for internet connection now.

Boot into Maintenance Mode to clear out the pending system update.

After that I'll be able to launch games as I did before? And also what do I do about game I just installed? It has an infinite loader instead lf icon.

You should be able to yes as long as everything else is setup properly. You will have to reinstall the game. You can delete it from Data Management under System Settings.

You need to take it out if you are unsure, well atleast you can figure it out if it hidden by calculating the given space by the sd card, the emummc take up about 30 GB if you have hidden partition.

I guess everything happened bc I connected to new wifi and didn't configure it. Now I need to delete pending update and then I can use tinfoil again? Or I'll need to reinstall jailbreak?

No, I recommend using a different title installer entirely or else you risk this happening all over again which is why I linked you TinWoo Installer earlier. Also, its not a jailbreak. You only jailbreak Sony consoles and iPhones. We are hacking the Nintendo Switch, not jailbreaking it, and the hack was never installed in the first place either. You need to perform the hack every time you turn the console off.

I liked tinfoil bc I can just install games from Switch without using pc. As I understood I'll need it if I use TinWoo. Is there any alternative?

How would I make emummc use the same nintendo folder as sysmcc?

You don't need a computer to install .NSP files with TinWoo. It can install from a HDD, from the Internet via URL, or via Google Drive.

My bad, I forgot to go over how to to do that. You open the emummc.ini file and have it point towards the Nintendo folder used by sysMMC which will usually be on the root of your SD card.

Sorry if this has been asked, but I don't find any kind of info anywhere. I installed a copy of Brilliant Diamond via Awoo Installer, it seems there was some kind of error while installing and the switch gave me a blue error message, after that, my console boots into hekate just well but when I try to boot up into atomosphere all that happens is a black screen

 

[Ghostplane64]

I haven't used my switch in a while and after updating the CFW and using hakate, I boot directly into my Atmosphere emmc instead of the hakate ipl menu. I'm not sure if this was supposed to happen but I just wanted to ask to make sure.

How did you upgrade your Switch (which guide or tool?)

Greetings.
I'm having problems installing certain games on my switch. When I try to it gives me this Error Code: 2168-0001 (0x2a8) and I have to reboot.
The games in question are: Anno Mutationem, Koumajou Remilia Scarlet Symphony, The Legend of Zelda Links Awakening & Pokemon Arceus (all NSZ format)
For context, someone else tried to install them previously, but I think the sigpatches weren't updated and thus couldn't get them to install.
I recently updated the firmware (15.0.0) and CFW (Atmosphere 1.4.1). I made sure to also update the sigpatches, hekate & fusee.bin (by downloading all necesary files directly from their respective githubs and manually placing the files on the SD) and to test it I installed Metroid Prime Remastered without issue (using Awoo installer) so I don't really know what else to do.
Thanks in advance!

please boot into Hekate and tap the eMMC tab on the far right and then take a screenshot and post it here.

Please ensure you got your Sigpatches from here:

e: can you please cause the error again and take a screenshot? There is additional information on that page that will help troubleshoot.

Have you tried to extract the NSZ files to NSP, then install. Some installers won't install NSZ. SAK (Swiss Army Knife) is a great tool for this. https://github.com/dezem/SAK/releases/tag/0.7.11

wydm it looks great? I can't boot into the hakate menu because when I inject the payload, I automatically enter the emummc.

I mean that your hekate_ipl.ini looks great.

now that I have explained myself, please post a screenshot of your emmc tab.

Sorry if that came off as rude. I'm saying that when I inject the payload from my PC, my switch starts Atmosphere instead of the hakate ipl so I can't access emmc tab. Is there a way to access the ipl after booting into CFW?

no worries. Can you try spamming the (Vol -) button after you boot up? It should drop you into Hekate.

e: Are you injecting Hekate.x.x.x.bin or fusee.bin? What are you using to inject?

I am really new in this, followed this vide tutorial:


Did everything right until i press "launch" and select the Atmu Emu at the left. Any help?

Had tried another tutorial before that had the hekate + nyx files outdated, so i got the latest on git hub already for this one. I think its another outdated file, but wich?
(sorry i don't know how to post photos here, but i got one of the error in case anyoned need)

Try using this guide to make sure you’re downloading from the right places and putting them in the right place.
