Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[Vladjaye]

Is there any possibility of having NSO-like functionality for certain games? Like replacing endpoints for what would be a "nintendo server"? It just happens that certain great games exist, but they support "online" multiplayer only vs some viable "local wireless" mode.

Thanks, I tried Tinfoil and could install Mario Kart 8 for instance without problems.

On other games (I installed before ... so the file is definitely OK) Tinfoil wrote that the file might be modified and I have to turn on the installation of modified code. I did that and could install the other nsp's!

So it´s basically working now but something is still not right because until yesterday and the update to Firmware 16.0.0 I could install everything using goldleaf without any problems.

I even replaced the whole Atmosphere + Hekate + Sigpatches Folders and it did not change.

But anyway ... working for now. Maybe installation is back to normal on Firmware 17.0.0

Looks like there is an update for Goldleaf and FW 16.0.0 in the works

No new release yet though, so prolly need to compile yourself for now…

e: I just read through the change and it’s adding libnx and addressing the new changes in fs module, so yeah, those breaking changes from 16.0.0 strike again (but are actively being fixed very quickly by the Devs)

Which games are you looking at specifically?

Which games are you looking at specifically?

The first one that comes to my mind is Crash Team Racing. I just prefer it over MK8 because of its drifting mechanics.
Also, there is actually a ton of them. Like, for example, casual Knight Squad 2 - it is either 1 console only 8 players mode or online. So, I was wondering if some kind of NSO spoofing would ever be possible for all these games. Ofc online games like MMO or whatever would not work this way, but getting "NSO" functionality over Local Wireless would just be a killer feature really. Theoretically, if the relay stuff is done the same way as through "lan-play" - it would be super useful regardless of CFW - imagine trying to play the beforementioned CTR game on two consoles on the go without reliable internet connection.

Lan-Play and Xlink Kai are the only ones I’m aware of.

Anyone else know of other homebrew that might fit the bill?

Ah ok, thanks very much!

Then this was basically my whole problem that Goldleaf is just not 16.0.0 ready yet

this is just me looking out for you and creating a Backup of your current data before we proceed. Then if you run into trouble we can always get back to your known good state.

I highly recommend PC method. The Switch method is for when you update a lot and really have things down to a science and know how to fix things if they get sideways. Infrequent users tend to expect tools to know how to handle all edge cases and are surprised when things go sideways often resulting in extended troubleshooting. Doing it by hand allows you to see what’s happening in real time.


Choi is no longer updated. You will need to use daybreak.nro (comes w/ Atmosphere) to upgrade your Firmware after yoI’ve upgraded your CFW and Bootloader (Atmosphere and Hekate). It is the next section of the guide…

Ahhh thank you very much! Then i will back them up, just in case

Then PC method it is, I'm going to follow that guide very carefully before doing anything.
Also good to know that Choi is no longer updated, in that case I can remove it from my Switch.

Also Sorry for this stupid question, but where can we obtain Switch firmware in order to update it? Also is it safe to update to the latest FW version?
I remember when I updated my Switch 2 years ago, to not update it to the latest version, since Hekate etc wasn't compatible yet. So I got the version below the latest (back then).

Fantastic stuff, I'm starting to get my head around it now. Thank you very much for your help.

So I got a Sandisk 512GB SD card which I formatted to FAT32 using GParted.
I placed this lot on it;



SD card went back in the Switch. I put it into RCM and connected it to my laptop via USB.

Now I'm running Mint 20.1 so I've tried both Web Fusée Launcher on Chromium and fusee-interfacee-tk-linux but although both acknowledge APX is there when I try to inject "hekate_ctcaer_6.0.2.bin" the Switch won't boot into Hekate as I'm led to believe it should.
I've tried two different USB cables but it makes no difference.

This is what I get with each programme. Both just sit there doing nothing.

I must be doing something wrong but I don't know what?

I feel your pain. I never could manage to inject a payload with Linux. On Windows 7, tegraRCMGUI works flawlessly on the same PC (dual boot PC). I always wondered what's the secret to succeed with Linux. I don't actually depend on it, since I have a few RCMLoader One injectors, but I would still like to know what's the problem. Can you link the two methods you listed? Maybe they're different from what I tried before.

 

[Lazlo_Woodbine]

Sure.

Web Fusée Launcher; https://switch.exploit.fortheusers.org/

fusee-interfacee-tk-linux came from https://github.com/nh-server/fusee-interfacee-tk/releases

The missus has a Windows laptop so I may try with that instead.

Thanks! I'm gonna try them tomorrow. Don't have any time today. I'll report back with the results.

When i boot my switch via Hekate (stock/emunand) the Atmosphere logo (cfw) or Nintendo logo (stock) flashes red for a split second before its the normal white color again. Does this mean anything?

My buddy Darthsternie knows about firmware but we don’t link to it so you are on your own. Make sure you have updated Atmosphere and Hekate and it’s all working before you update FW.

Almost everything has been updated to 16.0.0 at this point. You will probably want to pick up the next release when it comes out.

As long as it still boots and plays games you are fine.

I've just been playing with ns-usbloader and, having written a new udev/rule in accordance with the recommendation within the programme, it works!



This rule may well enable the previous two methods I tried to work too.

You can find ns-usbloader at https://github.com/developersu/ns-usbloader/releases/tag/v7.0
The ns-usbloader-7.0.jar version worked for me.

So my Switch is now booted into hekate! I'll be back when I'm struggling again, won't be long at this rate...

 

[tommaloney]

hey everyone,

I am looking for information that describes how to use the RCM loader. info like describes the fake one with the file size compare to the real one with a different file size. Also it goes into great detail about how to reset, update and what the buttons do to change from SXOX (RED light) to atmosphere (BLUE light) and a few other things. can anyone help me please. looking for something I can print out. I had a webpage but lost that

Thanks

I think I forgot a step when I was updating my CFW to Atmosphere 1.5.0. I updated Hekate and sigpatches. I was able to boot up and checked that system was at 1.5.0. I went to the albums to update firmware, and it asked to reboot as normal so I did. But I ended up with "A fatal error has occurred when running Fusee. Unable to identify package1!" Press power to reboot. It stays in that mode. I don't know if I need to update Fusee or if there is a way to bypass this.

 

[C0MP1]

I get error 2002-1002 when trying to launch any game on emummc. They Work fine on ofw and sys cfw. And when i launch software like YouTube IT says Could not start software please try again.

Edit: i checked for corrupted data and all My games Have corrupted data, but i cant download it, because i am in emummc and not connected to Nintendo servers.

Edit: i did a backup and a new emummc.

No problem, i understand

Hmm so is 16.0.0 compatible with the latest Hekate, Atmosphere, incognito etc? Or should I use 15.0.1 just to be safe?

Also remember what is a github for the firmwares, is great.

......... I'll be back when I'm struggling again, won't be long at this rate...

Sooo. I backed up my NAND, extracted keys etc. Now I've got as far as putting Tinfoil on my SD card but the installer won't launch ("Could not start the software"). The Album is in Applet Mode, I gather that holding R and/or ZR whilst clicking a game is supposed to switch out of Applet Mode or at least allow programmes to run properly. However this doesn't work for me, either the game starts (the one with a cart in the machine) or it just says "Insert the game card".

Now I understand that another issue could be Sigpatches. But all the CFW files I've used have been created in the last week or so, since 16.0.0, which is what my Switch is on so I'm assuming I don't need to do that. Is that correct?

I figured this out. For some reason, when I updated Atmosphere instead of it overwriting the old file, it added another atmosphere folder in atmosphere, this also happened with the Hekate bootloader file. I fixed that and now I'm back in. I just got the 90DNS block to work, however it isn't blocking everything like it did in ATM 1.4.0, It isn't blocking Nintendo.com, nintendo.co.jp,nintendo-europe.com, nintendo.es, nintendods.cz, and nintendo.co.za servers. They all say "unresolved". I am not a programmer so I am not sure how to input DNS-MITM, if this would work better.
