Homebrew RELEASE ChoiDujourNX - a system firmware installer homebrew for the Nintendo Switch

[yungxcve]

Might be a silly question, but just wondering: If I already went through the exfat update process on my current firmware (3.0.1) and want to use this tool to go to 5.1.0, to keep exfat do I have to select the exfat option or can I leave that alone?

Thanks.

 

[rajkosto]

Do you want to have exFAT on 5.1.0 or not ?!

 

[yungxcve]

Yes, but I figured the exfat update I previously went through would carry over. I suppose it does not.

Thanks!

 

[rajkosto]

It's not a separate "update".

 

[Draxzelex]

And the sdxc update?

There is no SDXC update. The console supports SDXC but not exFAT out of the box.

 

[Serfrost]

Too bad they don't just use NTFS. Lol

You have to be using a debug-enabled Homebrew Menu to launch it correctly. Please read the first post fully before asking questions.

FAQ:

• Q: After selecting ChoiDujourNX from the homebrew menu, it tries to start but closes immediately (or gives me a FATAL error, or just hangs at a black screen) !
• A: The debug svcs are not accessible to homebrew on your system. Either update your hbloader (from the release here: https://github.com/rajkosto/nx-hbloader/releases) or add fullsvcperm=1 to your hekate launch profile. Additionally, if you are trying to run ChoiDujourNX on 1.0.0, you must also add debugmode=1 to your hekate launch profile (this is not required on 2.0.0 or newer, which allows read-only debugging without it).

Looks like a nice and useful tool, but how are we supposed to use this, without any sources and build instructions ?
I'm not against binary distribution of programs, but preventing users from choosing by only providing them precompiled binaries is not acceptable.

I guess we're stuck with choidujour.py for now, and let's hope it will not soon be deprecated (if not already) in favor of this newer choidujourNX...

Seems a little ungrateful. It seems easy enough to use. I don’t mind being “stuck” with this version myself, and am grateful for people who release such useful tools.

I need some help.

I am on 3.0.2 with exfat update installed and want to update to 4.1.0. I do not really know how to extract the update partition of Kirby.xci, also are there any risks of the Switch being unable to read the MicroSD card since it's exfat and 4.1.0 doesn't support it yet?

 

[rajkosto]

4.1.0 doesn't support exfat ?

easiest way to extract the update from the xci if you don't want to mess with hactool command line is just use patch.bat from here https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-install-the-exfat-driver-without-updating-2-x.505176/

loading Choi from 3.0.2 exFAT and choosing 4.1.0 exFAT update will install everything you need to continue using exFAT. it'll only fail to read if you intentionally choose to install it without exFAT

 

[rajkosto]

You can also run the xci through ChoiDujour PC version (simply by dragging xci onto the ChoiDujour.exe should do it), it will make an update folder containing the update from it right next to it, before it does anything else.

Just tried this with M...Tennis.XCI. DOS box flashes up but goes no files/folder created. Any ideas - running on Win10?

 

[rajkosto]

You need to have a prod.keys file in ~/.switch/ the contents are irrelevant

So put in blank prod.keys files and get this error from command line. With a proper prod.keys files get lots of fail key matchs - help please

[rajkosto]

But you do get an update folder right next to the xci...
you need the proper keys to have ChoiDujour work fully, but not if you just want to get the update folder out of the xci...

So I'm in ChoiDujourNX I want to know if I'm doing this right to update to exfat, (check attachment) now it says full factory reset - will it delete my memory card? Is this right to update to use exfat?

As you can see the "full factory reset" option is crossed so it won't apply. Other than that everything seems fine, even though you don't need to enable auto-rcm if you are just going from 2.0.0 to 2.0.0 with exFAT support. (Unless you were previously on 1.0 and upgraded from there without burning fuses, but this seems unlikely.)
