Can i use an hwfly without an emmc board?
i ducked up my emmc board trying to install a pikofly, so now the switch doesnt even turn on to rcm with it atached(maybe a short or something, im not trying any longer)

I can install the CPU flex very easily but i just cant seem to be able to do the other wires.

Can i just use a hwfly with hekate and use only an emuNand without a eMMC board attached?

(i have a v1 patched)

No

You might have to transfer the chip on to a new emmc board, it is quite unless since you need a working emmc to create an emunand. Also since you don't have a NAND backup you can't even use a new emmc.
hmm i guess ill buy a new nand chip and follow a guide like this youtu. be/mH8osmtPFlA (cant post links yet)

You can do that I guess, but keep in mind it is a donor nand so you can't go online.
thats fine with me. guess ill order the parts now
Also i found the problem. i thought the RST pad and the pad that was next to it was also rst, so i soldered those together. well no, one is a ground and im an idiot

Hopefully it didnt kill the switch( i was getting RST errors so lines up with my solution)

Hi guys. Need some help with my switch on dock mode. I'm going to try my best to give the details on what's going on and all the research I've done:


The Issue: I connect my switch to the dock then when I open up every game to play it crashes within minutes saying "The software was closed because an error occurred." The games this happens are Super Mario 3D World, Zelda BOTW, Xenoblade 2, bascially every game I try I get that error message saying "The software was closed because an error occurred.", the only difference is the time, may happens in tittle screen (Mario) or after some minutes of gameplay (like Zelda or Xenoblade).

What I've Done:

So far I've done is talked with nintendo support and we went through a bunch of steps from making sure the software/firmware is updated, to uninstalling and reinstalling the game. None of it worked.


I've bought a USB Type-C to HDMI & USB 3.0 with Power Delivery and it did not work either. I tried other official Docks and it didn't work either.

I've gone through a bunch of reddit posts which were not helpful.

OBS: The games run fine in handheld mode. The dock and my cables are all official.

hello, new here,
and probably asking a repeated question, but I did use search i promise.

looking to mod a v2 non-led switch, with one of those mail - in services.

what would you guys recommend,

Should I go with a pico fly or hwfly

with one of the chips available on Aliexpress something like: t i ny ur l . co m / 2p 9 ce8 hs , -> similar exist for hwfly
.don't want to go the custom microcontroller route with pico chip as the pre-assembled boards like the one above are much neater.

my requirements are pretty much average,

- ability to boot into ofw (may be as a default) as the switch is a shared one.
- and boot to cfw + atmosphere for myself.
- the chip firmware itslef should be flashable / upgradable without too much of ahassle like ripping out wires or soldering.
things like open switch, connect usb cable and upgrade is fine.
- OFW will be online, need online play (the full switch experience). CFW (emummc) would be the hacky bit with offline play only, or may be some online things.
- Any general good to know things that apply for modchip + cf, like never nver booting to sysnand + cfw from hekate launch menu, Always using reboot -> OFW to boot to OFW etc?
- can someone point me to a good guide for setting up the cfw (hekate + atmosphere + emummc and the stuff)? .
All tutorials I could find talk about v1 software methods, but nothing that I could find specifically for mod chip. I know that at some points the steps are same , but I am looking for instructions on what to do right after installing just the modchip, how to setup sd card for use with modchip, which button combination to use to load to hekate etc.


Thank you!

I noticed the 1.1.2 update for TotK requires firmware 16..0.3 but Atmosphere (on the Homebrew SD Set up site) hasn't been updated since May 1st, so I am wondering if its safe to update yet.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Sd setup is slow with their files. Keep in mind 1.1.2 patch duplication glitch.

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM

  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:

    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm

    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds

    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
