I have sxos. That wont world because xci is 7gbs and does not contains the full Game. You need that large update.
And I cant merge with xci-nsp app because it s bigger than the switch cartdridge memory.
Then get a larger SD card, nevermind on that if you already have a 512GB Micro SD.
No, Lol.
I'm pointing it out since people ask me the same questions everytime.
It's in small letter's. I just cannot figure out what the problem with setting up EmuNAND on SD card is.
I mean then theres the final risky option even though Json has already pointed it out about nothing wrong with setting up EmuNAND in SysNAND.
Since actual size does not change.
Edit nvm, figured out that n1dus doesn't like special character's in the filename.

I downgraded from 7.0.0 to 6.1.0 and I'm currently setting up EmuNAND with SX. Can I restore my NAND backup to Sysnand afterwards?
My goal is to have a fully legit sysnand partition with all my bought games and Nintendo Online working, but EmuNAND for Retroarch.

Yes, you can restore your NAND backup from before you did any hackery to your sysNAND when you're done.
Hello, first time posting a question but long time user so I hope I'm pasting in the right place. My Switch was a gift from my fiance, I bleed Triforce, I have 60+ hrs on my BoTW save (luckily I backed-up my save to the cloud).
The rundown.... basically I think I bricked my Switch. I had a pre-patch Switch, upgraded to 6.2 and running Atmosphere 0.8, running the cfw and back-ups beautifully. Then I was gonna school a co-worker of mine in some Mario Kart during a night shift, I step away for a second and he accidentally hit upgrade software and upgraded me to 7.0. Obviously the CFW would no longer work and I can't use my backups anymore so me being a genius , I used Hekate to restore my NAND back-up of firmware 6.2 and about halfway through I realize my mistake. So now of course my switch won't boot and Atmosphere won't boot either but I can boot into Hekate.
So quick recap: Pre-patch Switch on 6.2 running Atmosphere 0.8, upgraded to 7.0 (burned fuses), restored NAND of 6.2 back-up, now not booting.
A few things, yes I know I f*cked up. I should have blocked the updates, I shouldn't let somebody else touch my system unsupervised, I should be updating through Choidujour, I shouldn't have restored a NAND of an older backup.
I searched all I can for a fix but I couldn't find anything. What I know is that I now have burned fuses to the point that I can only use 7.0, thats fine. My question is if I can somehow update to 7.0 through Hekate so i can at least boot into stock firmware and just wait for CFW support? I have the keys for my system, I have no programming experience but lots of experience soft-modding all my systems. What can I do?
Thanks guys

Some games and game updates require the 6.2.0 master keys. You won't be able to play them on 6.1.0.
when you do a restore you also need to restore the boot0/1 files, you don't have them then downgrading to 6.1 is your only option
--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------
Edit: if you made a 7.0 backup before you downgraded you can use that
I restored through hekate using the boot0/boot1 first and then the nand second
I thought that once you upgrade firmwares it burns fuses so that you can't downgrade. You're saying that I can't downgrade to 6.2 but 6.1 should work?

When you did your nand backup if you backed up the boot0/1 files 6.2 will work
Otherwise you need to do the old manual method
I have backups of BOOT0, BOOT1, and rawnand.bin. I inject Hekate, restore boot0/1, it completes successfully, then i restore nand, it completes successfully. I reset the switch, the Nintendo splash screen comes up then screens shuts off and like 15 seconds later it tells me an error has occured.
At this point my switch won't even power on normally. It will enter RCM and when i try to start atmosphere i get the atmosphere splash then the nintendo splash and then black screen and then error message.
whats the "old manual method"?
Did you activate SX OS license before setting up EmuNAND? this was an issue for me, otherwise would suggest you ask in the SX OS forum, I figured out my issue from forums there

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1 -
@
SylverReZ:
They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite+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."+1 -

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
