Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[Gilgamashu]

Anyone has this issue in switch lite? where if you boot to hekate and immediately use the joycon, it drifts? But if you boot to emummc or sysmmc there's no drifting issue. Was that normal? Or was my switch doomed?

Edit: Also if you don't touch the joycon immediately, there will be no drifting in hekate

Hi, I need some help from you please. My switch is softmoded, I have been using the emuMMC for a while, with not only the DNS setup but also always in flight mode, to avoid internet connection.
Yesterday I set-up "dual-boot", so I was able to run also the stock OS. Everything was running fine... Among other stuff, I connected it to the internet on the original OS and updated the system. Now, when I try to inject a payload either via Tegra or Fusee Web Launcher, it says the device is not recognized on my laptop and the web browser says no device was found. I tested the USB cable, have the latest version of atmosphere, reinstalled the APX driver on my PC, and I'm on AutoRCM. Please, what am I missing?
Thank you!

Hello,
I've managed to boot to the "No SD Card" screen with an HwFly RP2040 (picofly clone). It consistently boots, but if insert a microsd with Hekate+ Atmosphere package, after the glitch (so blue led and then yellow led) I get a black screen.
If I remove the micro sd card from the reader and power on, the “No SD Card” screen is shown successfully.
The switch is a Mariko V2.

I tried with 3 different SD cards (256GB, 64GB and 32GB). I have tried formatting with both “SD Card formatter” and “Rufus”.
For the content: I tried an already complete package found in a tutorial, I also tried another package from [KEFIR 709, Atmosphere 1.5.5, hekate 6.0.6].
Nothing, still the same problem.

Any idea/tip? Thanks

Hi, I've been looking into creating mods for NS games. So far I was able to find Ghidra with extension for NS specific files and tried to read assembly of a custom NSO file for a moded game that I'm interested in.
Also found some info about Skyline tool for modding/hooking but didn't find any decent documenation.
And all I can find on google is "How to INSTALL mods" "How to mod your SWITCH" and many other unreleated topics.
Can someone point me at a resource/page/article/guide about writing mods for NS games?

I did try that, like half a dozen times. It just kept rejecting me with the same error, and refusing to go any further. Wouldn't let me into Hekate or anything for a sanity check.

Only dumb luck had me toggle over to a folder that had the (I think?) TegraExplorer payload, and from there I was able to have it exit to reboot_payload and that has allowed me back in so far. That said, between 16.1.0 and Atmos 1.5.5(?) it's been real crash happy... which is especially awful since it would burn through about 1/3 of the battery life because it would keep the screen on while I was at work for an error I didn't even know it experienced.

Connect charger simple.

Hello i was wondering about using multiple SD cards with different contents in them? Currently i have a 64gb SDCard in my switch and i intend to get a 256gb one and transfer contents from the old one into the new one. What i was wondering is can i install say android on a 64gb one, and just swap SD cards when i need it?

The SD card port is flaky on the Switch. You should try to avoid inserting and removing the card as much as possible. The port could break. You're better off installing everything on a big SD card and just boot to what you want. I wouldn't get a 256GB card. Aim for at least a 500GB card, or bigger if you can. They're much cheaper than they used to be.

isn't that in the readme? The joycons are calibrated when it boots. If you're tilting a joycon when it calibrates, THAT position is zero, so of course it will drift when you center the stick after that. This is a feature, not a bug. Quick fix is to just disconnect then reconnect the joycon.

What exactly do you mean by set up the files? I tried to follow the rentry tutorial and downloaded all the files from the links posted there and put it on my SD card. When I put the files in my SD card without the boot.dat file (from the sx gear zip) I still get the boot.dat? error screen and the green led stays on. When I put the boot.dat file (from the sx gear zip or the stethetix HATS files) on the SD card the green led blinks once and I get the black screen.

Rename hekate to payload.bin and put that on the root of your sd card and see what happens. You should at least boot into nyx. If booting HOS from there (sys or emu doesn't matter) still gives you a black screen, try it with nothing in the game cart slot.

Hello everybory,

Here is where I am right now, I have installed everything on my micro SD.
If I understand the procedure correctly the next step is to upgrade the firmware of a the RCM loader, put the RCM jig and hold the Vol+ and power.

Does someone has a RCM loader of 768 kb ?
I read it's a clone and they can create some problem or break easily ?
If someone had experience/information/tutorial to share on how to use it without breaking it, I would really appreciate it.

Thank you

grab hekate 5.9.0, rename it payload.bin and put that on your loader. Do not ever update it again. It will always load the newer version from your sd card, which is always in the correct spot when you download the latest from hekate's github repo.

Hbmenu doesn’t get “installed“ on anything. It just sits on your sd card. It’s included with Atmosphere, so step 1: get CFW running on your light, which requires a mod chip. Done. There is no step 2.

Is it just me? I'm searching for PSPPP emu solely inside the switch forum coz I'm not sure if the game I'm playing just simply crashes and one point only in the switch port of psppp. Castlevania Dracula X Chron. Tryin' to unlock SOTN so I can play with.

 

[LeoBailey]

I know its not hacking related, but why on earth wont my joycons charge when hooked up on the main device (but not plugged in the dock) ?

 

[Gilgamashu]

Thanks for the answer. That makes sense.

Does it charge in handheld mode?

never played with that, but if you're searching for psppp, you'll never find it. It's ppsspp.

I accidentally hit update when starting the game; it's probably on 16.1.0, but I'm unsure how to check it.
I updated both hekate v6.0.6 & Nyx v1.5.5 and also SigPatches.

Still, when I launch sysMMC, the screen remains black.

Thanks, guys!
