Sup guys

got a problem here - I updated my Switch firmware from 10.0.4 to 10.1.0, also downloaded the newest SX OS Beta 3.0.4.
Now I experience some pretty funny things:
it boots normally into the SX OS overwiev but after I press "launch into fw", it stucks after reaching the Nintendo logo - screen stays black.
Note: when I detach the SD Card after that the Switch starts to boot normally into the OFW.
When I plug in the SD Card while it's still on, it wants me to update my FW(which is nearly impossible for me now due to the fact my switch is banned).

I tried that with 3 different cards, same problem - is my switch dead now or do I have to wait for a new SX OS release

oh, backing up my emuNAND didn't work as well, same result.

hope you can help me

thanks in advance

Format your SD card as FAT32. ExFAT is not recommended, as it's prone to corruption. That will also get rid of the message asking you to update.
It sounds like your OFW still works, so your Switch is not dead. Your emuNAND may be corrupted, if that is the case you can always make a new one.

Edit: Did you pick the exFAT update when you updated to 10.1? If not that could explain why CFW doesn't work.

We're still having to worry about exFat corruption? I thought they were fixing that when I had my banned Switch. Two years ago...

Erm... I may have done just that : I installed 10.1 without picking the exFAT update.
How screwed am I?

Thanks already :)

Use an SD card on FAT32 to reinstall the system version update with exFAT support, or reformat your primary SD card as FAT32.

FAT32 is recommended regardless of which solution you go with, since exFAT drivers on the Switch increase the chance of data corruption.

Thanks Lacius.

I've done it all and reformatted in FAT32 and, good news, it works!

But...

It seems that FAT32 doesn't allow files larger than 4Go. How do you manage to install bigger games with that restriction?

NSP files should be installed over a USB, FTP, or internet connection using something like blawar's Tinfoil.

    ooowwww a new way for me to beat NFS 510 :D @SylverReZ

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
