Struggling to find a solid answer on this. I have got an external hard drive, formatted to exFAT with an XCI file in the root of it. It's plugged into the back port of my switch when docked and the SX OS game menu is just not seeing it. Then the HDD light starts flashing which usually means there is something wrong. Will I have more luck with a 2.0 external hard drive? The one I have is 3.0.

Redownload the latest version of ReiNX here. This release is missing the homebrew menu which you can redownload from the guide here.

Hey, this worked perfectly and fixed the sleep issue. Thanks for your help.

I also have a 3.0 external hdd and it works fine. Maybe try another XCI game?

Was coming back to reply. All I did to get it working was convert the partition from MBR to GPT and it's now working perfectly . I would love them to add an option to transfer between the HDD and SD card, that way you can continue your game on the go but I assume that you could just install the XCI from the HDD and that is the same thing?

So I've been in the process of trying to restore my clean NAND backup to prepare for emunand on atmosphere, and whenever I try to boot into atmosphere with the hekate payload all I get is a black screen with a red sd card reading "BOOT.DAT?"

I'm not sure where exactly I'm going wrong. it was working fine before.

Yeah, install the game as XCI or NSP.

Hey guys,

I just got into hacking my switch. I bought SX OS, created an emunand and registered my license successfully. I copied to content of my nintendo folder, whcih includes game updates, DLCs and save games from my collection to emutendo. Then I tried installing a cartridge with NSP installer. It installed successfully, but everytime I want to runt he game it is asking for an update (which of course won't install since I disabled all Wifi connections). Then I deleted all files for that game, installed it again and it is still asking for an internet conenction to install an update. Ho Do I prevent that?

Can I keep my Updates and savegames under SX OS? I just don't want to switch cartridges anymore.

EmuNAND is a 1:1 copy of your SysNAND. Your games, dlcs and saves should be already there after creation.

RCM is user-dependent. That means whether or not you enter RCM depends on whether or not you are shorting pin 10 which cannot be verified unless you enter RCM. If you aren't entering RCM, then you are not shorting pin 10. And if you are not shorting pin 10, you may have to use something else to enter RCM such as a paperclip, aluminum foil, sim card remover, screwdrivers, etc. Not all jigs successfully boot a console into RCM. Consult this thread for a list of items other people used to enter RCM.

I haven't heard of any incompatibilities on 8.1 but nothing requires you to be on 8.1 aside from online play which isn't a good idea with a hacked console anyways.

1. Download SX Installer
2. Put .NSP files on SD card
3. Launch SX Installer
4. Profit

Make sure your fusee-primary is the latest one from Atmosphere V0.9.1

Redownload the latest version of ReiNX here. This release is missing the homebrew menu which you can redownload from the guide here.

What CFW are you using? And does your console have a linked Nintendo Account? If yes, is your console the Primary or Secondary account holder?

Problem is Atmosphere's emuEMMC is a bit unstable and not user-friendly so I do not recommend using it for the time being or at least until its more stable and/or noob-friendly. But you can setup the hidden partition at any point. You just have to restore your clean NAND backup before going online in sysEMMC.

Try formatting with GUIFormat instead. The cluster size is appropriate.

I did this but nothing new still the same

Actually you don't need to hack the console to load custom pictures. You can use this tool to sign any picture for the Switch Album application to recognize it.

niceee didnt/couldent find the tool like that

any possible way to do something similar for videos or is it out of the question?

First time trying to use ChoidujourNX to update my Switch. Running into a weird issue.

I installed Atmosphere 0.9.1 fine with emummc setup. Weird thing is happening when trying to update the firmware on there. I used my clean nand (3.0.0) backup on the emummc. Everything seemed to be working as expected until I tried to update to 8.1 with ChoidujourNX on emummc.

I locate the files for the update and it passes the initial test and analyzing the files part. But whenever I try to install the update, it has errors being generated halfway through the fw installation (the part where it talks about creating files it starts to error about midway through that). I've tested it on 8.1, 4.1 and 8.0.1 firmware all from that site along with another site with all the same issue.

I tried to look for the error online, but couldn't really find something that matched what I have been running into.

I'm wondering am I supposed to be waiting on the error codes to just run through? This is a very barely used Switch unit. I've been just manually resetting it after it starts generating errors.

Did you update the payload on your dongle?

Not that I know of unfortunately.

Are you using the latest ChoiDujourNX which is v1.0.2? Also while this may not be your error, it may be worth checking out this thread

Using the homebrew application ChoiDujourNX is the best way to update as it not only lets you control what firmware you want to update to but also allows AutoRCM to be enabled afterwards. Using it is pretty simple to as the homebrew application holds your hand throughout the entire installation process. Just navigate to the firmware files you illegally downloaded, hit "Choose" in the bottom-right corner when you see the .NCA files, and follow the on-screen prompts. As for which firmware you should update to, Mario Maker requires a firmware of least 7.X and Cuphead surely does not require a firmware higher than that.

Yup using the v 1.0.2 of ChoiDujourNX. Somehow the last manual reset I had to do corrupted the emummc...so redid that.

Just retried what you linked and it worked even though my issue wasn't the same. Thanks. Hopefully I don't have to do this every time though lol. Didn't realize the program could be used in that way (select multiple folders)

 

[Remus21]

I'm really sorry if this doesnt go here, but it says noob questions up there in the title and I assume it is less intrusive than creating a new post.

Thing is, I broke down the pins on the rails of the console (the one in which the red joycon gets attached) (i own a neon switch) and now I need to replace it in order to make my rcm jig work again.

Problem is...I don't know which rail to buy. The one with the long ribbon cable or the one with the short one? (I know that when buying them on webpages one says LEFT and the other says RIGHT, but it might be refering to left or right from a console-back perspective and so I want to be really sure), so if anyone with this knowledge could help me I would be eternally grateful hahaha.

A million thanks in advance!

PD: I would post a picture of the rails with the ribbon cables, but being a noob I cant post links :c

EmuNAND is a 1:1 copy of your SysNAND. Your games, dlcs and saves should be already there after creation.

All my games are on cartridges. When I dump or install the cartridge, they are asking for an update. I assume this is caused by the savegames that are already on the higher version. I still wonder why it is not recognizing the updates that are already installed. If I download the updates from somewhere and use them with my own cartridge dumps it is working, but I don't want to hunt the web for updates for all my 25 games.

 

[Iamapirate]

So I updated to Atmosphere 0.9.1 and setup EmuNAND. I'm wondering if I can enable AutoRCM with a way to boot back to Sysnand from that point? In other words, I want Atmosphere/RCM to be my default, but with the option to boot into OFW if I want. This way I wouldn't have to manually jig it everytime.

AutoRCM makes this impossible. With AutoRCM, you can only boot your console with a payload and payloads are designed to boot CFW especially Fusee.
