Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[Aldath]

Did you download and install any update .NSP files for Xenoblade for your console?

Hmmm this is how I did things.

-Got Xenoblade 2, installed official update online.
-Days later I got new SD, moved my xci there, told me to update, can't play.
-Got NPS Update but I still can't play since it's not the newest one.

I think I found latest update but it made me wonder why I can play the updated game in one SD and the newer one I can't if my update was supposedly installed in my system

Either you would look for the keys.txt online (they are copyrighted so they cannot be shared here, even through PM) or you can generate them with another homebrew application named kezplez. More specifically, I am referring to shchmue's fork since it is more stable and works on higher firmwares.

Also I would say you have a greater chance of being struck by lightning than breaking/destroying the console by installing a .XCI game

Outside of dumping the update/downloading it from online then installing it into the second console, you can try following this tutorial to share the update from one Switch to another: https://gbatemp.net/threads/match-v...going-online-on-cfw-need-two-switches.509395/

I have one final suggestion. Make a backup of the entire SD card that doesn't work, or at least the Nintendo folder, and copy the Nintendo folder from the SD card that works onto the one that doesn't work.

NAND is your internal system memory while SD card is...your SD card. Games are slightly faster when installed into the internal memory and games installed into the SD card will only launch when the SD card is inserted, but outside of that, there are no other differences between the two.

1) I got Ticket installation failed! Warning when I was installing mario, what should I do??

2) how can I later uninstall the game from NAND?

1. .XCI files do not have tickets. They work without them
2. Using Data Management by pressing + on the icon from the Home Screen or from System Settings

I have my prod.keys generated the way you linked earlier.. Im trying to start the game I received warning with and just installed it, instantly I get "Software has closed because error occured" nothing more. What should I do?? It works great from the sd card

What CFW are you using?

 

[boleklolek]

What CFW are you using?

Firmware 5.1 and using SX PRO 2.0.1

 

[Draxzelex]

Firmware 5.1 and using SX PRO 2.0.1

Its possible SX OS doesn't support the installation of .XCI files. I think the only CFW that supports .XCI installation is ReiNX.

Prodinfo is stored the eMMC SYS partition which the rawnand is comprised of (rawnand also includes the eMMC USER partition).

So in noob terms (hence this thread lol) i am good to go?

Yes, PRODINFO can be found in your rawnand.bin. If you're extra paranoid, you can back it up with the ReiNX toolkit which is referred to as Cal0, but you can extract PRODINFO from your rawnand.bin

I am paranoid and i will backup it once more with ReiNX toolkit in this case haha. better safe then sorry.

Thanks for the quick responce Draxzelex, as always i appreciate it

hi, cant seem to find how to backup my biskeys in hekate 4.2

Hekate cannot dump the biskeys. They must be done with another payload that can be found here: https://switchtools.sshnuke.net/

Put the ReiNX.bin on the SD card then boot into the SX OS menu and select Options -> Launch external payload.
