Hey, is there a guide explaining how to develop homebrew apps? What I need to know are some basics like... configuring the project, printing something on-screen (text, graphics) and utilizing syscalls with C/C++.
Since my current project is pretty much finished i'd like to get into Switch homebrew development and turn some of my ideas into reality

For a long while now my switch SD card reader stopped working and ive been unable to use cfw. Ive tried launching regular horizon os through hekate but it gives me the "failed to run sept" error as if Its trying to load sd files. Can anyone tell me about another method of booting into hos while bypassing loading from sd card.

How can I write into hidden emunand partition (sx os)

Since this is the noob area, guess I'll start here. I have brought a RCM loader and looking at installing SX OS. It looks the easy and simple to use, what I'm looking for. I have a pre patched switch but with the latest update on it. Should I install the SX OS on a different SD card for when I'm playing "backups" or can I just install it on my SD card with all my original games on it?

Up to you.... it makes no difference...

Thanks for the reply.
So I'm guessing it is the same risks involved with a console ban coming from Nintendo?
Is their any risk of losing my data that is already on the SD card if I install SX too?

No one has been banned for that yet. Nintendo doesn’t check which files you have on the micro sd. It’s not necessary to swap the cards. And no, you won’t lose anything on the card. But as always you should create a backup.

Hi guys.
Yesterday I updated the CFW to the latest version 9.1.0.
And then I updated Atmosphere to its latest version as well.
Then, I updated Kosmos and I placed the latest folder of hbg shop on my SD card (7.0.1b).
When I tried to use Tinfoil on my Switch, it wouldn't open the hbg shop and it would say my SD Card is corrupted. I then tried to open games that were installed on my SD card and it would show the same message error. The games installed on the console were working fine.
I did a clean reset of the SD Card: re-format to fat32, deleting everything and then placing the folder from the SD Card Setup containing atmosphere and everything (I didn't choose Kosmos/Hekate, just a simple fusee-primary).
Everything works fine, but I just can't seem to make Tinfoil work and it always show the same message.
I don't think it's a problem with my SD card, otherwise I wouldn't be able to launch the rest of the homebrew apps. I'm also having a problem with Goldtree, it doens't recognize my PC when I'm on a USB connection (the USB icon is there though).
Is there someone who can help me solve this?

How do I move emuMMC to a larger microSD card on OS X?

The threads I've found are of no use.

If you have files based EmuNAND, you can simply copy it. If you have partition based EmuNAND, you need to clone the partition.

The emuMMC partition is hidden.

Like I said, I'm on OS X.

Works for both.

It's an .exe file.

It doesn't run on OS X.

It's an .exe file.

It doesn't run on OS X.

Use the dd command.

Is there anything that will allow me to switch between cfw emunand and ofw nand without powering down the console and booting again? SX OS user, if that matters (but I'll add that I'm not asking for your opinion on TX). I play games (legit carts) online occasionally, but the pain of having to reboot and inject payload (using autoRCM so as to not burn fuses) is a deterrent to doing it(I'm lazy).

i feel i know the answer to this question already but i'm hoping.

I bought a switch recently and out of the box it came as 9.1.0, which was a tad disappointing. It's the XKW serial number, so spicy patched life. That being said the only thing i really want to get is games for "cheaper". I really don't care for themes, online play or anything aside from just local and solo play. From everything i have seen, i am lead to believe that i am out of luck for a while.
So my question is there anyway to get games or like the equivalent of an r4 for my switch. I don't mind doing some hard mod stuff or buying an accessory, but constantly paying 100 dollars for each game is a tad nutty.

So should i wait till something comes out? or should i really consider selling this one and buy ether an older switch or older firmware? or should i just give up all hope?

thanks in advance!
