Complete noob regarding exploiting the switch. But I’m considering getting cfw for it depending on what I can do.
My experience with cfw is limited to homebrewing my 3ds, and using jksv with my pokemon save files to do edits on pkhex as one of the things i’ve done.
My question is if its possible to also do this with sword and shield, specifically editing event flags like a legendary having been caught or not.
To be even more percise, I caught a legendary and now I want to reencounter it to shiny hunt, but I need that flag to be undone, but before I make up my mind to homebrew (obviously this isnt a deciding factor), I want to know if its possible to do this.

thanks in advance and I apologize for coming on here with nearly 0 knowledge about switch exploits.

If you want to do a chain i dont think it possible, if you want more tries its possible, just make a save before the figth and restore

Not truly sure about chains, just that you increase your chance to get shinnies.
In the case of the saves its easier, you can make a save, copy and paste the same folder, change name and done you can edit each one separate

That sounds closer to what I want. I definitely don’t want to increase my chances, I just want to edit the save file itself to make the legendary appear again. Give me another chance at it basically.

    It could get banned from PSN but you can change your ID I think?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    For your R4
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    nvm it does support mine
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
