Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[Blythe93]

Nope, but I'll try that. Can I find that in Hekate?

Not that I know of, but here's how to do it:

1. Make sure that your Internet connection is disabled if you're connected right now and remove any saved connections as well.
2. Turn off your console.
3. Boot into RCM the way you usually do and, before sending your fusee.bin payload, hold volume + and volume - at the same time and let your console boot into CFW. You'll see an Atmosphere logo, followed by a Switch logo. After a while your Switch will enter into the maintenance mode. At this point any pending update and cache is deleted/cleared (on your sysNAND/emuNAND).
4. Press the power button once again and It'll shut down the console.
5. Boot into CFW the way you usually do and see if that fixed your connection issues. Don't forget that connecting to the Internet is safe only if you have DNS MITM in place.

Hi guys! I have a few questions about the internet connection issue and cheat.

I downloaded Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival along with music unlock. By following steps I managed to unlock the dlc songs and play them. However, one annoying issue is that when I select songs from dlc, they will freeze for few seconds. After that they will pop up a message “unable to connect to your internet” or something similar to this. Is there a way to bypass this message?

Some said you can turn on the airplane mode (it would be quicker, but I cannot connect to wireless joycon - 2 joycons)



On the other hand, is there a cheat for games? I am looking for game speed hack for pokemon violet.

What does the QR code do when hacking nintendo switch? I'm trying to get a Kiosk nintendo switch to work, and when I use TegraRCM to connect with the switch, it makes the switch display a QR code. The problem is that I can't read this QR code because the backlight on the screen is broken.

Can I delete NSP files out of my SD card once they're installed on the console to free space?

Yes, same with XCI or NSZ.

I followed this, and tried installing DMC3 instead. It froze up again...

What it looks like when it's frozen, for context, is goldleaf's file browser. No buttons work, except holding down power to shut it off.

As @BigOnYa mentioned, yes delete them to free space. Why are you copying nsp files to your SD card to start with? You should USB install your games.

Not kidding, I thought this was the way to do it. I'll give this a try, see if it fixes the freezing.

Try with DBI. It's probably the easiest app to use for USB installation, even though development seems to be abandoned now.

I went through different threads trying to find help. Trying to play the Mario vs Donkey kong game and kept getting a spinning animation where the game artwork should be. Got an error when booting up the game. Used AIO and Daybreak to update my switch but it seems to make things worse.
When I boot my CFW it says "No Main Boot Entries Found"


Checked my Hekate file and I have:

I'm not sure, but after comparing yours with mine hekate_ipl.ini, it's mostly the same thing (I use the one I got from the sigpatches thread). The only weird thing to me is that what you pasted if formatted the wrong way i.e.:
This line:

[config]autoboot=0autoboot_list=0bootwait=3backlight=100autohosoff=0autonogc=1updater2p=1bootprotect=0

should be:

[config]
autoboot=0
autoboot_list=0
bootwait=3
backlight=100
autohosoff=0
autonogc=1
updater2p=1
bootprotect=0

and so on.
That would explain the "No Main Boot Entries Found" error.

Tried out DBI. It's just giving me "operation not supported or unimplemented on this platform"

Are you using a PC? Is your Switch unpatched and you can inject payloads in RCM? If you can inject payloads with TegraRCM GUI, DBI should work too for USB transfers. It's just a matter of using the right drivers. MTP should just work, though.

Doing all these things, I used the drivers, too T_T
I'll try FTP/MTP.

MTP should be just as easy as drag and drop the files.
@Blythe93 are you the one who had a link to a video on how to use DBI? I can't remember. This might help him to figure it out.

 

[Blythe93]

@Blythe93 are you the one who had a link to a video on how to use DBI? I can't remember. This might help him to figure it out.

Sure, here it is. Installing LIBUSBK driver for DBI can be a bit finicky and I know I had some trouble with it due to steps not being explained in detail (only somwhat partially in the video's description), but if I remember correctly, you need to:

1. Connect the Switch to the PC.
2. Run dbibackend.exe, select one of your games/updates/DLC files (just to test the connection between Switch and PC) and start the server.
3. Run DBI on Switch and select "Install title from DBI backend". If it works, it works! But it probably won't, so proceed with the next step.
4. Run Zadig.
5. Hopefully, DBI will be listed in the dropdown menu (make sure that your start the server in dbibackend).
6. If it's there, click on the install driver button (LIBUSBK driver should be selected).
7. After that, you'll probably need to restart the server in dbibackend.exe and restart your DBI app on Switch. Hopefully, it should work now.

If it doesn't work on first try, keep trying. I might have missed a step or two, but that should be it.

Thanks for the response

So I just installed a clean version of atmosphere but now when I boot up, I can't boot into my CFW it just bumps me back to the hetake menu. When I load using payloads and then fusee I have my switch work for 5 seconds and then get 2123-0011 error.

confused as to why CFW keeps bumping me back to the main hetake menu.

I can share any screenshots or info if that helps!

As stated here. if you ever blanked your prodinfo by using either Incognito_RCM or Atmosphere's Exosphere and updated to firmware version 17.0.0 or higher, you'll get that error. If interested, you can read up about changes Nintendo introduced with firmware 17.0.0 here.

Anyway, the crash usually happens as soon as you connect your console to the Internet. Quick fix is to set up DNS MITM in order to block Nintendo servers. "Proper" fix is to undo the prodinfo blanking and use DNS MITM afterwards in order to block Nitnendo servers.

If you used Incognito_RCM, you'll need backup files i.e. either prodinfo_sysnand.bin or prodinfo_emunand.bin should do the trick. The general usage of is explained in the readme file.

On the other hand, if you've used Atmosphere's exosphere.ini, you'll need to set blank_prodinfo_sysmmc=0 and/or blank_prodinfo_emummc=0, depending on which one you used to run your CFW on.

Thanks again! So I see the exosphere.ini file but would making them set to 0 mean I can't use wifi at all?

 

[Blythe93]

Setting them to 0 would undo the prodinfo blanking. With DNS MITM, even with non-blanked prodinfo, you should be good. WiFi will work. You can check whether DNS blocking works with this 90DNS tester tool.

If you use emuNAND for your CFW stuff and worried that you might get banned, it doesn't hurt to blank your prodinfo via exosphere as well. You can find the correct exosphere.ini settings here as well (above DNS MITM guide, just pick one of the two depedning on your setup and add additional stuff you might have if needed). The worst thing that could happen is 2123-0011 error code again in case DNS MITM fails for some reason or another and your console attempts to connect to the Nintendo servers.

I'm not sure how effective prodinfo blanking is for avoiding ban based on what I've read in the exosphere.ini template, which you can find here.
