Are there still battery draining issues with installing AutoRCM on SX Pro even with the latest version?

 

[RobCat030]

I tried combining the Contents folder of two separate SD cards that were used on my switch. One has some NSP data that I recently installed and the other has some game update data for some other titles. For whatever reason my Switch still didn't recognize the merged data from the old card. Could I use tinfoil to install the .nca folders within the subfolders? Or should my first method have worked?

Any battery drainage issues as a result of AutoRCM are due to how the console works and not the CFW. Removing those would have to involve reconstructing the Switch.

If all of the data was installed to the SD card (via a title installer such as Tinfoil or Rommenu), it should work. If not, you can just reinstall them.

Thanks. Another question: Assuming I use .xci files, are game updates stored on internal memory (32GB) or the microSD card?

Internal memory unless you install game updates as NSP files on the SD card via DevMenu, Tinfoil, or Rommenu (TX's title installer).

Does anyone else get a lot of freezes running TegraRCMGUI? It often freezes while sending payload. Followed instructions in Darth Meteos pack for drivers etc.

What freezes, your pc or switch?

And no I've had neither, although I've had the purple/green screen of death once or twice. I think I pulled the usb out too soon after sending payload.

Should I care about my efuse if I don't care about downgrading and piracy?

I've got my SX Pro on order... Now, I am trying to buy another switch for backup game play only...

1) I have a 3.0.1 Firmware Switch, should I use this one for SX Pro? Will it update my switch to play the newer games?
2) Is there a way to transfer my single player save files over?
3) Will backup games get updates via WiFi for new patches and such?


Thanks!

1. to play games that require a higher firmware, you will probably need to update your Switch. However if you use a program called ChoiDuJourNX you can do this without burning fuses, and later downgrade back to 3.0.1 if you wanted.

1b. you could also use a program called Tinfoil which allows you to play games on a lower firmware. I'm not sure if this runs on the SX OS though. you may need to install a different cfw for this to run properly.

2. sure there are homebrew programs such as Checkpoint which can back up your saves and you can move them from one Switch to another if you'd like.

3. as of right now you can turn on WiFi and get updates/patches for any backup game straight from Nintendo, just as if it were a regular game you had purchased.

Depends on you dude.

1. You can update without burning fuses which retains your ability to boot firmware 3.0.1 normally while enjoying the benefits of being on the latest firmware. Only downside is using AutoRCM as your fuses will be burnt without it
2. There are a plethora of homebrew that can dump and inject saves
3. You can update games officially (and risk getting banned) or download and install update NSPs for the games you want to update

Do you guys think it is more safer to boot to Original FW to perform game updates on your backups?

It is more safer to download from a PC and install them manually, offline.

Is CDNSP dead? If so, will there be anymore public certs?

No it's not dead what makes you say that? They already replaced the burned cert.

Nintendo's gone buck wild this past month. They just had a certain website pull all their games last week, so I felt that it wouldn't hurt to ask.

I don't have my SX Pro yet so a silly question: What's the difference between booting to OFW using SX Pro vs turning on the switch normally without the dongle?

Thanks for the quick reply. When you say 'download and install update NSPs' what does that mean in lament terms? (Re-download .xci files and load onto SD Card?)

Where one falls another will rise from it's ashes.

OFW via SX Pro involves booting into RCM then SX OS which differs slightly from the Nintendo Switch OFW without RCM. Whether this alone can lead to a ban or not has been fully proven yet.

Thanks for the quick reply. When you say 'download and install update NSPs' what does that mean in lament terms? (Re-download .xci files and load onto SD Card?)

Game updates can be retrieved in .NSP format. .NSP format is the file extension for installable Switch content. This ranges from games, DLC, and of course updates. TX has a built in title installer for such .NSP files in their latest version. There is also a homebrew that can accomplish this as well by the name of Tinfoil.
