I notice you're using v658 of DBI. I would try to use the latest version (796) to see if you get the same results. You should manage to find the install menu, even though it's in Russian language.

I also happen to have v658 of DBI. I like my options being in English, is there a reason to update it if I'm not having issues, or is there a newer English version?

I'll try it out later tonight or tomorrow. So far I held off on using a Rusian version of DBI because there was no need so far. We'll see what happens.

If you have no issues, no reason to update. As usual, never try to fix something that isn't broken. But for the issue mentioned by the previous poster above, it might have something to do with the way the XCI is built. Newer DBI versions might handle it better. This is just speculation, but still worth investigating.

Is it possible to modify my joycon to work as a jig? And would this affect my switch in any way?

É possível modificar meu joycon para que ele funcione como um jig? E isso afetaria meu switch de alguma forma?

English forum, don't forget to translate in English before posting. But yes, it's absolutely possible to modify your joycon to work as a jig. That's what I did years ago.

ThankS!, and sorry, I had translated it but I think I got confused when posting it.

Does anybody know how I can get my emuMMC to Bluetooth pair with a Google Home Mini speaker? I have tried multiple speakers and factory resetting all of them (I also completely re-setup my SD card for unrelated reasons), and OFW can connect to them just fine, although I haven't checked that since resetting the speakers.

The speakers show up when I search for BT audio devices from the settings, but it fails to connect every time. I'd like to get this figured out because I only have a monitor in my bedroom so Bluetooth audio is my only option to play on a screen and have sound.

You can also use the 3.5" audio jack on the Switch itself, while docked. I'm sure your Bluetooth speaker has a AUX input.

Just tried it out with version 796. Unfortunately it makes difference for the result: the installation fails for similar reasons. Although I could swear I lost about 10 to 12 GB of space on my SD card (the size of the game) and cleanup orphaned files didn't restore it this time. Hopefully I was just imagining that; didn't keep track well enough to be certain, i.e. pre-installation.

But that means we're back to having an XCI which pretends to be in pristine state by virtue of it's signature and hash, but it won't install because of errors. Considering that signature and hash checking are the cornerstone of validating NSP and XCI files, this is disconcerting in my opinion.

Hello, I have a Nintendo Switch OLED that does not turn on. When measuring it, I discovered that it has voltages present, but when using a laboratory power supply, when turning it on, it only consumes 20mA and that has me confused. I don't know if it is a problem with the NAND that causes it to remain in that state without starting. I would like to know if someone knows more about the subject who can help me. Thanks in advance.

In that case, you could try with a different installer. There is TinWoo, for example. You could also re-verify your xci file with a different checker. I've been using NX Game Info for many years. It's old, but it still works. You just need to provide it with the latest prod.keys file.

Unfortunately it doesn't, I don't know why Google decided it didn't need that, but it definitely doesn't have it.

Hi,

Probably a dumb question. But if I want to just boot my modded v1 switch to stock firmware without the SD card inserted how do I do that? Do I just first go into Hekate, disable AutoRCM and then power off and remove the SD card? Or is there another method?

I tried using TegraRCM to push the hekate payload with the SD card inserted. It brings me into Hekate without the GUI but if I try to select "Reboot (OFW)" it just goes back into RCM mode with the blank screen.

Thanks in advance for any help!

I have noob question:
I just got switch v2 and it has system update 12.0.11

Also I got picofly rp2040 didn't installed it yet.

my question is, should I first update software to version 20.2.0 from switch itself automatically?

or first install latest atmosphere 1.9.2? and than update switch software?

I'm a bit confused.

Anyone know how DBI expects the server to provide data in order to populate its listing? I know that Tinfoil expects JSON and I have made that work, but I am not getting much information as to how DBI requires the server to post listings. Any help is greatly appreciated.

@duckbill007 ?

I am trying to find out how to format the response from the server so that DBI is able to populate and install games on the switch. Except I don't know how to format the response.

@duckbill007 Is the dev of DBI, hopefully they respond and help you. Good luck.

 

[RioStride]

Yeah, I am hopeful for any information. Thank you for the reply.

Duckbill doesn't want anyone messing with his software tho
