I've got a 8.1 Switch with parental controls turned on and don't know the code. I need to get the device id from prodinfo to remove it. I am new to homebrew, I've got a jig but don't know what to do from here, I want to use this switch online and don't want custom firmware / homebrew etc so what's the quickest / cleanest way to get the device id so the system won't get banned? thanks.

Do you have a payload injector or a PC ?

I've downloaded TegraRcmGUI and hekate_ctcaer_4.10.1 so far and yes I've got a PC. Not sure if these are still the best tools to be doing this though? I've just been reading the guide.sdsetup.com site.

This still a bit confusing, I see HacDiskMount is pc software so I can worry about that later, so for memloader I use v3 that's built in to TegraRcmGUI? do I need to dump the BIS keys too?

memloader is a bin file where you can push to your switch to mount your switch on to your pc. The one that is built in tegrarcmgui should be fine although you should choose latest. You will also need the
simple file from the memloader.zip which be downloaded at https://switchtools.sshnuke.net/. Put this in your root of your sd card
After booting from the memloader, you should choose ums_emmc.ini to mount the emmc(nand) to your pc

HacDiskMount can open up the mounted drive of your switch nand which you can look at all the prodinfo,BCPKG,system,user.bin

Ignore the useless keyboard warrior troll. The device ID is not the same as your console serial number.
Hi I've downloaded the memloader file and put it on a micro sd card. Do i need to download another piece of software? My switch says time's up will this be a problem?

If all you wanted to do was reset the parental controls, then why didn't you just say so? You can use this homebrew application to reset it without needing the device ID.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
