Kinda depends. If you've been online with your SysNAND after it ran homebrew, then setting up an EmuNAND partition is just going to delay the inevitable. But if you haven't, it might be worth checking out this guide for manually cleaning up your SysNAND. I personally can't speak to its safety or guarantee, but other people have followed it and haven't been banned yet.Is it worth creating/using Emunand (sx os) if i already used early homebrew (.nro) on my sysnand before i backed it up?
Forgot to mention that you can actually dump the rawnand in parts if your SD card is formatted as FAT32 and/or it doesn't have 29.1 GB or more of free space. Afterwards, you can join the files with any file joiner program or one of the scripts on Hekate's GitHub Page (which is also the tool I recommend dumping the NAND with).I cant fit all the back ups on my sd card at the same time. Can I backup the emmc user separately, and if I do should i store them on my pc separately or will I not be able to restore them if I do this?
Restore the NAND backup meaning you will have to restore boot0/boot1 and eMMC raw GPP.Hello everyone!
Just bought Switch few days ago. Zelda bundle with 4.1.0 OFW
Right after that i backuped eMMC BOOT0/1, RAW GPP, SYS, USER and did biskeydump.
And after that I safely updated console to 6.2.0 using ChoiDujourNX.
Right now checked fuses - 5 fuses blown out, which corresponds to firmware 4.1.0
Switch never had connected to internet. Neither on the OFW, nor on the CFW.
Question is:
When I want to restore my Switch (to make emuNand, if it will be implemented on Atmosphere, for example), I just need to restore my NAND backup via hekatu while I'm on 6.2.0, or should I downgrade 4.1.0 via ChoiDujourNX first?
Sorry for my English.
So theres no exploit for the newer switch systems on 6.2?
- You cannot use CFW with a patched console.
- Pegaswitch (userland homebrew) might work if you're on a low system version.
Why are you trying to dump eMMC SYS and USER? They're already included in the raw GPP.The size of the sd card is 64gb, when i tried to back up boot 0/1, raw gpp, sys and user it comes to 300mb over this, is that right, everywhere i read it says it should be 29gb like you say
So does it mean that full nand (from 4.1.0) restore while I'm on 6.2.0 will be equal to downgrade to 4.1.0, am I right?Forgot to mention that you can actually dump the rawnand in parts if your SD card is formatted as FAT32 and/or it doesn't have 29.1 GB or more of free space.

Yes.So does it mean that full nand (from 4.1.0) restore while I'm on 6.2.0 will be equal to downgrade to 4.1.0, am I right?
First off, you don't need exFAT. You can do everything with FAT32. exFAT only makes the process of hacking easier but at the cost of possibly corrupting your SD card. FAT32 does not have this risk. If you don't mind risking corruption and formatting your entire SD card if it ever becomes corrupted, you can use exFAT but otherwise its better to use FAT32.I have a clean switch running on FW 2.3 and an exFAT 128 gb SDXC microsd card, and have purchased Switch SX OS Pro. It’s my understanding that I should use exFAT instead of 32FAT but that requires an update, but that would prevent me from hacking it right? And I need the microSD card to set up SXOS and emunand and sysNAND back ups right? So how do I proceed?
I do have a second switch (my original) which I do not intend to hack, would I be able to format it on there to use on this switch? And if so would this process effect anything on my original switch (I’ve already formatted another 128gb SD card which I’ve been using for a few months now).
I always recommend FAT32 over exFAT as we have numerous ways of bypassing the 4 GB limit with FAT32 but don't have to deal with updating for exFAT support or corruption.Thanks for the response; regarding my second switch, I was only referring to the ability to format my SD card as it’s already up to date. As for using home brew apps to update, are you referring to after installing home brew using a fat 32 SDcard? Otherwise how would I be able to apply SX OS without a readable SD card? Lastly, would you recommend fat 32 over exFAT for the stability?
Edit - If I were to use fat 32, set up SX OS, Create an EmuNAND and update above 5.1.0 (which I believe is when support was added) would I be able to use exFAT there? And is it only corruptable on lower OS or is it just exFAT in general that is less stable?
I had two questions.
1. I have cfw on my switch and i just remembered my nintendo account is still linked to my switch. I dont really care for my account however, forgot user/pass and its inaccessible because i deleted the e mail associated with it months ago. Is there a way within cfw to remove the account from my switch? Normally this wouldnt matter but v
2. About online play, from what i understand theres a method using lanplay to still be able to play online. Now from what i recall this is method uses non nintendo servers correct? Or is this basically to use nintendo sercers for free? If so i wanted to block telemetry but as i mentioned its not possible since my i cant get into my old account and i cant unlink it from my switch now since its cfw'd now. Rather not go through the process of reapplying my back up and unlinking requires an update.
