I can appreciate that. Just wanting to avoid anything that would cause a ban. I'd imagine doing it from a payload would greatly reduce the chances of a ban rather than from homebrew. I'd like to go legit, but it's hard to give up my saves lol.
Even though exFAT is notorious for corruption on the Switch, I don't believe its causing issues with USB install. Although if you are using USB install, there is no point in having exFAT. The cluster size for FAT32 should be set to default or 32K if there is no default option. I should also mention the cluster size for exFAT is 128K.
I have tried using goldleaf from usb and sd and tinfoil from sd. Both are the versions that were included in the guide.sdsetup.com as of last night. I am thinking now my issues may be related to being on the latest firmware possibly? I found some info about patches for atmosphere that may help but not sure how to use them yet. Tinfoil reports metadata errors I think.
I don't think any games require 7.x right now so I don't see the point, I plan to upgrade to 5.1 only unless someone tells me otherwise.
well I think I am on the latest kosmos since I just followed the guid last night and it seems the site is currently down. I couldn't find .5 nightly build but I got 0.3 and USB install has better success rate. I did successfully install a couple of updates but the game still nags it needs an update, is there maybe just a newer one than I downloaded and how does it even know since internet is blocked?
thanks for the reply, ill try it once i get home and let you know
also is there a way to only delete a dlc or update without deleting the entire game?
One thing you should be aware of is that there is a one time, irreversible update for the cartridge slot on firmware 4.0. This update renders the slot unusable on firmwares below 4.0. This is useful in case you wish to downgrade in the future when a better exploit is released for lower firmwares where you either want to play your retail cartridges or if the exploit involves using a cartridge. If you wish to prevent it from being updated, you must break the cartridge slot. In other words, if you want to retain the ability to play cartridges on firmwares below 4.0, you cannot play cartridges on firmwares above 4.0. This method differs from CFW to CFW; Atmosphere applies it automatically if it knows you can downgrade to a firmware below 4.0 while ReiNX requires an extension-less file named nogc placed in the ReiNX folder. If you don't care about it being updated, then you can just ignore everything I said as your above steps are fine for general hacking purposes (unless by ChoiDujour you mean ChoiDujourNX because ChoiDujour is a Windows program that takes a lot longer to update your firmware with than the homebrew equivalent and should not be mixed up).
If you read my post above, rendering your cartridge post is not only optional but only necessary if your firmware is below 4.0. Since you don't care about burning fuses, I would recommend you update normally but since you are using SX OS, it doesn't support the latest firmware so your only choice in the matter is ChoiDujourNX.
Google.
