As the old saying goes; "There's more than one way to skin a cat"
Using a new cart with the update in it, or downloading the update and installing it with ChoidujourNX are just two ways I can think of
Again would probably depend on the battery. I've heard for the ones used in the Switch its not good for them to drop under a certain percentage (somewhere between 40 and 50%). Whether or not continuously charging them versus letting it naturally decay then manually recharge it may present a small but insignificant difference in the battery life. And based on what I previously said, the console is going to be draining battery anyway if its not on the dock or in sleep mode. If you don't want to keep it on the dock when you're not playing, that may be fine for a while but if you're going to be using it regularly, it makes more sense to just keep it on the dock than continuously turning it on and off (which is not good for the battery).
Thank you I really appreciate that you shared your knowledge with me!
There's definitely enough space. The NAND is completely empty and the SD card has over 100gb free.
Maybe the name is too long? Tinfoil's error codes are not well documented nor helpful so it might be worth experimenting. I'd also ensure that your SD card is not fake using something like h2testw or FakeFlashTest.
Nintendo doesn't care whether you own games or not as bans are handed for violations of the ToS not piracy. Piracy is illegal and can get you arrested; modifying the console violates Nintendo's Terms of Service and can get you banned. However, it has been historically easier to detect piracy over homebrew which is why bans related due to piracy are always higher than bans due to strictly homebrew. As long as you are not playing your games as backups and stick to homebrew only, your chances of being banned are low. After all, only one user so far was banned for using only homebrew and he cleared his error logs on firmware 5.X which is not considered to be safe hence why its no longer possible to clear error logs.
I have the same question. All I wanna do is back up my saves and play my legit carts (possibly edit my Splatoon 2 gear slots too)
Filenames are short (intentionally so that its easier to type out in the python script before sending), and the mSD card has been tested to ensure it's real.
I'm using FAT32 (which is why I'm sending nsps and not just transfering them to the card), but I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. Gonna have to hope a new version of Tinfoil fixes whatever this is.

Damn, so I'll still get console banned even if I turn off WiFi while playing backups and only load the stock os for my online games?
By running CFW you are breaching Nintendo's Terms of Service, which is a bannable offence.
Managed to get it working. I was at first simply double clicking the python script that came with the Tinfoil release. This time I tried typing out the commands through Python Shell and that worked.
i just started cfw sx pro for the first time.. copied zelda to my sd card and somehow it wants to download a update?!
i wanted to stay offline from now on, how can i start the game?
im using a xci file and firmware 5.1

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+2 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -
@
BigOnYa:
Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

@rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.+1 -
