Charge for another 48-72 hour's

So far it still hasn't booted up even after 48+ hourse since i've left it charging way before i posted. is there something else i can do to maybe somehow "reset" my system back or maybe mess with the files in the SD to somehow disable autoRCM?

Hey guys I got an interesting situation, trying to mod a save for my friend for Totk, he wants stuff like max rupees, stam, all weapons/armor sets, materials seeds etc right from the start of the game. Basically I'd get his save from Cloud then modify it to get all those in, upload it back to his Cloud then he can download it (he has an unpatched/unmodded Switch and I've seen others do this).

My question is what would be the best way about going this, Edizon/Breeze seems safe on Sysnand but I'm not sure if they have those options (keep in mind most I've done is Smash Mods and PKHex, haven't used Edizon/Breeze before). If not those two, should I edit the save on Yuzu/Ryujinx if they have those options then get it back onto my Switch and into his on Cloud? Thanks.

Hey everyone!
Basically i have a legit copy of totk and ive already sank like 10-20hrs into it, but id like to give the cartridge to my partner so they can play as well since i can get the game on my emunand.
Is there a way to transfer saves from sysnand to emunand without copying the whole system?

Hey lads.

There are save files on GBATemp, mostly stuff for 100% or all items. Is it safe if I put these on my own sysnand? I would ONLY be doing this for single player games like Totk, Resident Evil, etc. I've edited with PKHex and been fine, but that was editing my own save, not other player's saves. Thanks.

AutoRCM is within the hardware not on the sd card

So I was looking into getting the latest cheat manager and overlay, I see that in the HB store, the latest cheat manager is EdiZon-SE by WerWolv updated last on the 29th of April (29/04/2023).
I also looked around the AIO and saw that I can download GBAtemp.net cheat archive and graphic enhancing cheats.
I pretty much want to know what if I can download that EdiZon from the HB store and then use the AIO to download cheats, would they both work/integrate? Also - I noticed that the download of EdiZon from the HB store doesn't include the .ovl file, where do I get an updated one for that and why isn't it included?
Thanks!

I'm trying to update my Switch (which I haven't done in a long time) so I can play TOTK.

I have a new computer and when I plugged in my SD card, it made me format it so there's nothing on it. I downloaded the latest Atmosphere (1.5.4), Hekate (6.04) and sig patches. Extracted everything into my SD card but when I go to inject Hekate, I get the error:

"Old Nyx Gui detected, there will be dragons " - which from what I've read means I need to update Hekate which makes no sense because I downloaded the latest versions.

And If I press a button to go through to the next step, it says:

"unknown pkg1 version hos version not supported or emummc corrupt failed to launch HOS"

Any ideas?

So after charging my switch for nearly 3 days, still no sign of it booting up, RCM not being detected and just frustration since my last switch didn't take even more than 5 hours to boot up. anyone else here have any solution besides charging it more.

There's this homebrew software called Checkpoint (google "Checkpoint switch" and you'll get it) that gives you access to your save data. If you boot into sysmmc and launch checkpoint, you can get your save data. Then, you can boot into emmummc and install your save data there.

Tbh, I don't see much of a point in using the above approach when you could just use a new system account. If you make a new account on your switch, that will work as a way to get a new game on totk. I guess the only benefit of going the checkpoint route is if you want to also play with your save in an emulator.

Hello everybody,

I red the avoid banning hub
So now i'm aware about what i should not do.
But i still got a question...
Are sysnand and emunand linked ?
I mean if i use the OFW to play online and the emuMMC to do hack things, do i need to restore the clean nand twice ?
Plus is it safe to do that to avoid ban ?

I think i'll keep a clean nand backup forever on my PC But i don't understand everything.
To summarize this is the steps i have to do :
1. Make the clean NAND backups before doing anything with HEKATE
2. Create EMUMMC
3. Go to EMUMMC without going online to do my hack stuff
4. Restore the clean NAND backup with Hekate... if NAND is shared with EMUMMC and SYSMMC, i have to do that once but if it's not how can i restore emuMMC NAND ?
5. Go to Sysnand to play online.
6. Make a new unclean sysnand backup with hekate.
7. Go to emummc to do new hack stuff.
8. Do the manipulations once again.
I already had a banned switch so even if that looks easy to people, i prefer to be extra carreful and that's why i'm asking you what's on top.

Last questions :
Is it risky to play offline on emummc to have access to things like overclocking and so on?
I'm asking all that crap because when my first switch got banned it was on sleep mode and i wasn't using it... so now i'm afraid they store the data and they can still check the console to ban you.

There is no guarantee of not getting banned. Keep a modded switch, and keep a clean unmodded switch. That's the safest way.
I never go online with my modded switch. I just keep 90DNS on it, and keep it in airplane mode. I even update my firmware with carts offline on sysMMC side, then back up that firmware with Tagra Explorer, and then update the firmware on emuMMC side using Daybreak and the firmware backup.

Errors

Switch Lite
Picofly
OFW 16.0.2
Hekate 6.0.4

I am able to boot into Hekate and able to backup nand ect, but my problem starts with backing up keys through lockpick.

Uanable to set crypto keyslots.

Also when I goto the launch page it shows both
Sysmmc
Emummc

If I launch either I am presented with.

Pkg1 decryption failed/
BEK is missing/

Failed to launch HOS/

I have wiped SD card and re installed everything twice still with no change.

Is anybody able to point me in the right direction please

Ok so basically it's dangerous to use all Homebrews on a switch wich goes online... Thanks

I bet you already know but :

I have just contacted the installer to see what firmware was installed to the Pico. I have just read a thread with the mention of out of date firmware on the chip causing a possible unlock issue.

Are you able to update the Pico through the hwfly toolbox or does it require removal and soldering back on a usb connector.

Thank you

You can update the picofly firmware without soldering back but it can cause problems.
You should ask the one who solder if he updated it.
