Updated guide for setting up an emunand on OLED switch?

Its the same process on all Switch consoles. Use Hekate to setup emuMMC.

Im still waiting for hwfly module to my nintendo switch lite, however I've got possibility to buy another nintendo switch lite with "sxos" really cheap - price is as for generic used nintendo switch lite without modchip.

The seller send me pic thats shows "BOOT.DAT" screen. Is this sufficient to believe the modchip is legit and it will be fully working? The seller says he doesn't have sd card to test it, so if I buy that I don't want a possibility to run into a issue where it indeed shows "boot.dat" but its for ex. completely bricked or sd card reader not works at all or other weird issue that explains the low price. What other things I should ask the seller for? Or is "BOOT.DAT" screen a really sufficient to believe it works correctly? Thanks

Boot.dat is as sufficient as you’re going to get. The system won’t display that without a modchip that‘s specifically looking for boot.dat (meaning there is no way a default system could display this.)

100% working to your liking? We can only hope. Could it still be bricked? You bet. Could the SDCard reader be bad? Ayup. The only way you’re going to know is after full first hand inspe tion of the device and its boot cycle.

Even if they showed you SXOS fully booted they still could have downloaded the image from the internet, photoshopt it or any other nefarious things.

It’s kinda like buying a car with an aftermarket NOS system that somebody guarantees is producing 150+ additional HP…you never know until you put it on the dyno if it it’s true.

Welcome to the world of customization…

Is it the same even though the OLED has a larger NAND?

Okay, can someone explain this screenshot to me? How can this already be telling me the length of time they've been playing the Game Boy and Game Boy Advanced Switch Online Apps when they haven't even been out for 10 days? Everyone else's says they have been only playing it 8 days so far? In fact, when the apps were first released, it said this kid had already been playing them for 9 days beforehand.

And this isn't even an isolated incident with this guy. Every time a new game releases, I check my Friends List to see who might be playing it, only for it to pop up that he's apparently already been playing the game a week or so in advanced (and his profile is the only one that says that). How can that be possible, when anyone who pirates a game is instantly banned? Or is there something more going on here, something I don't know about?

Sorry if what I'm saying doesn't make a whole lot of sense; I didn't get enough sleep last night lol.

It only shows a few hours. Where are you seeing days? Did you include the correct picture?

So no go, yea I kinda never liked RA anyway, thx.

edit: another question is it possible to migrate android to a new sd card?

Sure, you can use a tool like Minitool Partition Wizard to do a bit for bit copy of your SDCard partitions. It goes by the partition label to find it’s partitions so it’s relatively fool proof.

No, I mean, the whole "hours" thing only pops up after about 11 days since someone's opened a game. However, the Game Boy/Advanced Switch Online apps haven't actually been out for that long, implying that this person managed to play them early.

Ohhh sorry. I want aware of that nuance. Will have to read/experiment to learn more.

Assuming that’s the case, they could have been playing offline using a leaked backup and then purchased the legit game and installed over the top when it came out?

Ultimately though…the only reason you should look in another human‘s bowl is to make sure they have enough to eat.

Anyone else more familiar with this?

I think the problem here is that those titles couldn't have been leaked. I am aware that time doesn't display until then, but I don't know anything about switch hacking, so I can't help with this problem.

Oh, nah, it's cool. Like I said, I didn't sleep well last night, so I'm probably not being coherent. Sorry 'bout that.

But yeah, when someone first opens a game for the first time, the "Play Activity" log keeps track of how many days it has been since it's first been open, up to a total of ten days. Upon the eleventh day, the log then displays the length of time they spent actually playing the game. Since it's only been 8 days, it should not be displaying the time yet, hence my confusion.

hey guys, how do I extract sound files from the south park games?

looking to extract voices from stick of truth and music from fractured but whole.

Right, exactly! I'm pretty sure if the Gameboy/Advanced Game Players NSO roms were leaked ahead of the direct, I'm sure it would have been all over the social outlets or something. There's no way people couldn't have known about it ahead of time, you know what I mean?

I suppose it's possible he might be a reviewer and got access to them early, but, again, I'm sure someone would've spilled the beans about their existence early if that was true...

Darthsternie is just a page from where you can get firmware for updating your emummc after you make it ;P so you don't need to update your system nand if you do not want to. You can just update your emunand/emummc in daybrake.

About that guide, i think you should go from the start :X but to answer your question update is around here https://rentry.org/UpgradeDowngrade so after making emu and instaling atmosphere.
Remember to be in your emu when you want to update just emu. Your stock/system nand you can update by system option(but there is no need for that).

When you want to be sure that you are in emummc/emunand go to "settings" scroll down to "system" and check what is below "system update" it should be ended with "E" for example if you are on firmware 15.0.1 and atmosphere 1.4.1 whole line will looke like this "Current system version 15.0.1|AMS 1.4.1|E"

Thank you very much for the reply, it's appreciated.

I didn't realise I had to follow all the pages on the guide and wrongly presumed I had to choose a 'method'. I'll start at the top of the guide and work down..

Thanks again.

but partition wizard only shows me my main storage plus 36 gb unallocated(this is i guess my hekate 16gb android + 16gb linux but it says unallocated space

You can still copy the “partition” bit for bit and then Fix Hybrid MBR in Hekate. If you want to see the partitions directly try gparted on Linux and you can see each partition.

Here is a good read on how its laid out:

Any conclusions ? , it's like 62 pages and still discussion is on .
I could see vote in favour of it being real but software not available

_it seem to be a dead hyped train_

Rip , hwfly are damn expensive

Hello, I recently tried to put themes in switch to personalise it a little bit but now it gives me an error everytime I turn it on, so I was wondering if there is a way to extract my savefiles from the sd card, so I can redo all the process on the partition and so on.

Just remove /atmosphere/contents/010000000001000 directory and themes should go away.

Just a few days ago, I noticed that my switch turns on again after powering it off from Horizon.
I read around, there's mentioning RTC Alarm that can be turned off by hekate option. Aaaannnd that's it.
What is it exactly? And is there anyway to turn the RTC Alarm off outside of hekate.
thanks in advance

You need to set autohosoff. It’s documented here:
