Gaming Demo cartridge

[ish08kaz]

Anyone have any idea what this cartridge does?

 

[SomeGamer]

Quick, dump it! (If your Switch is hacked, that is.) I'm sure many would like to examine its contents.

If this is your cartridge Please dump the cartridge contents and upload somewere, im sure many would like to see its contents.

Dump it Dump it!

With this side showing, no one, except other owners of the card can tell you. If we would be able to see the connectors, we could be more likely to tell. But I guess it will be an 8GB cartridge, maybe even just a 4GB.

If this is your card then it would be highly appreciated if you dumped the game! We could potentially learn something from this card if you did, even if it is small

 

[Naendow]

And if you do have an ipatched Switch, then maybe you could to lend it a trustful member here so it can be dumped.

I do have an early model switch. Not too familiar with the hacking scene but any recommendstions on what programs to get a dump of the cartridge would be helpful. I heard its a 32gb card switch kiosk update cartridge in my research but nothing else. Inserted into a switch the card will not be read

If you're comfortable with hacking it I can help you do that and then the dumping process. Do note that hacking a Switch always carries the risk of being banned from using Nintendo's online services on that particular unit so keep that in mind.

Sure just send me a pm. (System not allowing me to pm you.)

As long as he is able to do the whole process from RCM mode (no CFW needed) there is zero risk of a ban.

Wasn't there something that logged the number of times the console was in RCM mode? And is there a cart dump payload?

1. Pretty sure there's not.
2. Not that I can find. emuNAND is also an option (turn airplane mode on and delete all connections before creating, unplug router to be extra safe) and he can also patch emuNAND with https://gbatemp.net/threads/incognito_rcm-wipe-personal-information-to-reduce-risk-of-ban.549462/ for extra safety though it's not needed if he never connects to a wifi. There should be zero chance of a ban with a completely offline emuNAND.

Thanks, that's good to know.

emuNAND is also an option

While I'm sure it is, I have no experience with emuNAND since I'm just using my sysNAND in Airplane Mode with all connections deleted.

This guide includes emuNAND setup https://nh-server.github.io/switch-guide/

Only start to finish guide that includes it for some odd reason AFAIK

Cool, thanks! I sent him the sdsetup.com guide because that seems to be the closest to the steps I did when hacking my Switch, but it's good to know alternatives exist and he may choose whichever he prefers. One thing though, he said he's on the latest firmware. Is there anything that's not fully supported on 9.1.0? (Asking for myself too, on 8.1.0 atm and I'd like to update if everything works.)

Any guide will work, just have to follow this (using 29856 as size instead of 29828 as that seems to be too small and Hekate won't accept it) https://gbatemp.net/threads/setting-up-partitions-for-emummc-with-hekate5-0-nyx.542321/ the first time you get into Hekate before doing anything else. And then select the emuNAND in Hekate to activate it and save settings. emuNAND isn't hard to set up, I don't understand why the most popular guides don't include it though.

@ish08kaz Either the guide he sent you combined with the one I linked in this post, or the nh-server guide I linked above should be fine.

Alright I hacked my ps vita and Wii U a year or two ago. Lets see how troublesome this is lol.

The Switch is not too complicated imo. Most people got A9LH running on New 3DS systems, and that has been way harder to do.
