[MassExplosion213]

Heres a simple NS patch that can be used to force into test menu or anthing really.

It can be converted to work with my patching system very easily for those RN users.

Or you can use Config to switch it.

I'm using it to test my open source homemenu ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thought i'd help out.

I understand. Just easier for most end users to use Config. Now, once a new Home Menu comes out..

Well, I advise any one who does this to make sure they have a NAND backup. I did, but then deleted off my SD card by accident
Anyways... afaik, you cannot use sysupdater to update because it throws an invalid error. So, unless Nintendo's system updates brick my console (praying they don't) I am stuck on this firmware. Which isn't that bad. There is still enough to explore

Only works if you have UNITINFO set to dev. Reisyukaku's patch seems to bypass that, going by the comments, meaning it'd also work if transplanted onto a normal Luma without the UNITINFO changes.

does plailects region change guide (https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/Region-Changing) work on emunand? Because I did all steps up to step 29, and I'm getting a black screen

edit: and yes, I can still boot sysnand, I'm not dumb xD
edit #2: unchecking all the options in luma made it work

ok nice, i'm now on 11.0U
time to install panda firmware bois
btw how do you extract firmware.bin from the firmware title
also, in sysupdater do you select update or downgrade when installing the dev firmware cias

....are you sure you want to do this?
it looks like you didn't know what you are doing right now.

Be careful!

1.you don't need the firmware.bin as Luma gets the firmware from nand now I believe.
2. Downgrade. always downgrade!
3. Make sure you made a nand backup before doing this!

It's an unlinked emunand :3 I have nothing of importance on there
Ok I'm going to do it now

Just a quick question before me doing the region change: Should I delete the eShop account on emunand? Will this affect it on my sysnand too? (They're unlinked.) I'm using sysnand, just created an emunand for this sole purpose.

 

[Nyap]

oops forgot to take this into consideration

Config and DevMenu cias (000400000FF40102 and 000400000FF40002) are invalid.

will remove them and continue downgrading

no it shouldn't affect your sysnand.

check your SD first if it still good.

stfu
also, I have a frankenfirmware now, because I removed the sd card while emunand was running :/ Is there anything I can do without having to completely start over?

I said that in a jokey kind of way

Thanks, I just thought that it was linked to the console ID or something.
