Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

I'm doing my first OLED, can someone confirm if they've seen this chip and if it works or not? I'm mildly suspicious because I had to insert the programmer upside-down.

Looks like an OLED chip, the direction you suppose to insert the adapter is on the adapter.

Thanks, one more question. I have two of them and there's a bridge on both of them. This appears to be intentional?

FS:2 options unpatched (Red)

i have everything as Patched. Patched is fine, it just means that you have sigpatches as well. Try enabling all FS patches in the sys-patch menu and reboot, see if that fixes the issue.

So I installed it in an OLED, verified everything with a multimeter. Readings were good, plugged the board into usb and it went green to blue, then...powered off. Plugged it in again, no response. Removed the chip, reassembled and it works like normal. Plugged the chip into my computer, programming mode. Windows detected it and I was even able to write the firmware again. No idea where I could have gone wrong.

Was it supposed to do this or did I do something wrong?

So I got a weird issue after manually updated everything. Emunand is working, games are working, overlays/Edizon everything seems good while it's running. But twice now waking from sleep mode it restarts atmosphere and takes me to cfw-sysnand, once in my hand using the power button and another sitting in the dock overnight. Did some experimenting and it just seems completely random, I can switch back and forth between sys and emunand no problem, can return to stock no problem, can still rcm and get back to cfw. Anyone have any idea what could be causing this, I've never had auto-rcm or anything like that active?

Hey guys. Not sure if I'm in the right place. I am new to emulation and I just downloaded Sudachi with the newest Firmware and prod keys. I also have the unzipped part 1 and 2 of Xenoblade X. Both are supposed to be 7GB each for a combined 14 GB game. However, only one unzipped file actually has anything in it and it shows that it is 14GB by itself. And when I unzip both the file size goes down to 7GB and I can't figure out how to start the game. Any help for a newbie? Thanks in advance.

Hello guys, sorry noob question here, how do I use/install sys patch?

Download the zip file, unzip it, copy files to SD card, reboot Switch.

Ok will try now.

Edit... ok just did, how do I tell its successfuly installed? I think I still have sigpatches, is it interfering with it?
because I still cant play Xenoblade, whereas other game is ok.

If you use Tesla along with sys-patch, you should be able to tell if it's working properly. Having both sigpatches and sys-patch should work without problems, but it's not necessary. You should be fine just using sys-patch. About Xenoblade, is your firmware recent enough? The game just came out, it probably requires almost the latest firmware (I didn't check).

Sorry I am quite noob and not sure what is Tesla.

Anyway, I did a little digging, and one of it was to remove sigpatches. So what I did was I delete patches.ini, kipef, basically all sigpatches file. Yet when I reboot, I can still play all games, except for Xenoblade and a few others (Dragon Quest HD).

You mention latest firmware, does the stock firmware matter? I am currently on 15.0.1 | AMS 1.8.0|E.
Is this the latest? Do I need to be on 19.0.0? I dont really think it matters because I can play lots of other games just fine, one of it is Romancing Saga 2 (Oct 24 release).

I just looked it up and FW 19.0.1 is required for Xenoblade X , so yes you will need to update your FW to play it.

Hi thanks for your help I updated to 19.0.1 and it finally worked. Other games is also working.

Had a scare because I wasnt able to boot atmosphere after updating. Turns out I had to delete this file /atmosphere/contents/420000000007E51A, and now it worked flawlessly.

Thanks again.

Xenoblade X works for me on firmware 18.1.0

Cool, I never tested it myself, just a Warez site where its shared lists it as 19.0.1. That person had FW 15.0 anyways so they needed to update regardless.

A couple more details would be nice. Is this a retail copy or a pirated one? What firmware are you on? Is your console hacked? Do you have any game mods installed?
