Neither, it requires a 9.X firmware

Hi I am on Nintendo switch 7.0 Orignal firmware if I try to install sx os v2.5.3 so do i need to update my switch on the original firmware?
Also I have a question about downgrading the game lower firmware using xci-explorer but I like to ask I know the main game is what I need to do this too but do I need to do this for any game updates also to apply xci-explorer the lower version to it also?? Its a question that no one has answered any were i ask this. Mebe you can help me?

Not necessarily. While you can boot OFW and CFW at your own whim, its not safe to simply boot OFW after using CFW. The reason being that traces of CFW persist after a shutdown/reboot. The only safe way to go online is by never using CFW or homebrew which can accomplished by either never running hacks or restoring a clean NAND backup made before running them.

The homebrew menu opens up by default when you select the Album. In other words, do not press anything on the Album.

Have you tried using Hekate to create an Android partition?

Try going into Data Management from System Settings to delete it.

TX are not very confident in their software so they label their "unstable" releases as betas. This way, if people report any major bugs or issues, they can just safely say it was a beta without any actual repercussion. Personally, the latest beta is pretty stable but the free CFW are even more stable such as Atmosphere or even ReiNX.

So, if it doesn't load anything or crashes, should I get another version or am I doing something wrong? It either crashes or doesn't do anything (just loads photos).

SX OS version 2.5.3 does not support firmware 7.0 and you do not install SX OS. Also I don't really understand your second question.

There should be an error code attached to the crashes.

Let me explain I use I use xci-explorer to downgrade my main base game so that it can be installed on a lower firmware. that's fine. But some games come with update files also ie v1.2 update file. so my question is does this game update work with the downgrade game version ie the game will update the game that I installed or does the update need to be xci-explorer downgrade the update to lower firmware also. Hope that explains it?

.XCI-explorer does not modify any files. It is exactly what it is called; an explorer.

This is what happens if I run it via an app (game).

Do you have a custom theme installed?

So once you've hacked your switch with SX OS, or Atmosphere. You can still play the OFW games purchased from the eshop just offline.
How do you load new OFW games on your hacked switch, that you've purchased on the eShop via PC or another switch?

You have to go online if you intend to play them legitimately.

I don't think so. I tried downloading the necessary files from sdsetup.com as well and used a clean new MicroSD card but it still gives me the same error. How can I check if I have custom themes installed? I couldn't locate the 100000000001000 folder under \atmosphere\contents folder. I tried to create one (empty folder) but it still crashes.

What guide would you recommend I use to make the EmuNAND with my particular firmware? Do I need the sig patches with atmosphere as well?

Hello,

My hacked switch died (my fault) recently, and i bought a new one with a legit copy instead so i can play online again, however the shinies i got i really want to have in my HOME/Sword game.

I know this is a long shot, but is there anyone that is able to local trade from cfw > legit and send them over to me? I am not sure what i can offer. All the shinies/mew i got i legitimately obtained. You are free to keep a copy of my save files for ur own collection if u like

If you happen to know a better place to ask i would love to hear that as well please!

Thanks!

Make a backup of your atmosphere and sept folders. Then, delete (do not overwrite, delete) them from the SD card, and download the first zip archive from: https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/releases/tag/0.13.0

Extract the content of the zip file inside your SD card. It might ask to replace reboot_to_payload.nro and hbmenu.nro, if it does, you can replace them.

Then try again.

If you boot using fusee-primary payload, download it as well from the link above, and use it with TegraRCMGui or any payload injector you use.

And yes, you will need sigpatches to run unofficial games with it.

So I have a second Switch for hacking. On my sysNAND, I have legit copies of games I own, both physical and digital, with all the updates and DLCs downloaded from Nintendo's servers. Is there a way to transfer those game files, like my BotW with updates and DLCs, and Pokemon with updates and DLCs, to my emuMMC? Specifically game files, not save files.

I copied the Nintendo folder from the root of the SD card to /emuMMC/RAW1/ and the games don't show up on the home menu of my emuMMC. Is there something else I need to do?

 

[shinwg]

Any list of what’s not support for SX core mariko thanks I a little but want to know if there more

You have to dump and install them into emuMMC. The Nintendo folder only carries the game files but you also need the game's tickets which are installed to the internal system. This is why simply copying the folder is not sufficient.

Hi, I have installed CFW on my switch and made sysnand backup using hekate before. Can I just restore the backup -> do a system reset -> made another backup (is it clean?) -> install CFW again?

The reason is that I am a little paranoid having my main NSO account on the hacked switch and when I made the backup, it has already has my account and many games installed. Basically I want to store a sysnand backup that (1) Small (no games), (2) Clean and (3) Does not contain my NSO account (I will use an alternative account).

Thank you in advance. Hope the above is understandable cause my english is not so good.

Since updating to 10.0.4 + 0.13.0 ams the games Smashbors (8.0.0) Mario Odyssey (1.3.0) and Zelda BOTW (1.6.0) have stopped working on both cartridge and copied to SD card. They hang on the black loading screen with the white nintendo logo in the lower right bottom. Nothing works anymore from hitting the home button till power down. I have to force powerdown in order to get the switch working again. Other games like Mario Kart 8, Donkey kong tropical freeze and mario party still work fine. Anything i can do to help this?


--edti:
After removing the sept + atmosphere folder
reinstalling those folders with a clean copy of github release
changing from hekate payload to fuseeprimary payload
everything works again

Is it possible to make games stop asking for NNID? I don't have it, and since I never connected to Nintendo's server in my Switch I didn't bother ever setting that up. Any way to circumvent it?
