Hacking Question 2 firmware on one console, switch is bricked. Need help.

Just curious, how did you set up a minimal 8gb emunand for SX OS? I run both Atmosphere and SXOS on separate emunands, but they're full size.

Resize with NxNandManager, you can follow the guide here.

You're right, but as we move into the future, a larger percentage of newly released games will be incompatible with SX OS.


Regardless of how inconvenient one does/doesn't find it, using SX OS requires one to use an extra emuMMC and swap between custom firmwares and eMMC's depending on one's needs. If someone wants to play an older game from the USB storage device, swap into SX OS. If someone wants to play a newer game, swap into Atmosphere on a separate emuMMC. If someone wants to play online with a legitimately purchased game, swap into the sysMMC. For some, it may require keeping a list of what games are installed where to avoid having to swap around to find the right game.

Dude. You think things are complicated. A list? Come on. You know whats on your daily driver. You now what is archived. If you can't keep that straight switch modding is not for you. And for the record I have 3 EmuNAND (Atmo, SX and a CLEAN EMUNAND FOR GOING ONLINE. Before you mistakenly tell me I can't do that, I can and I have been, for 3 years. No Ban) And an extra bare bones EmuNAND is nothing. 4GB. FastCFWswitch for TESLA works great to toggle between them (I toggle in to Android and ubuntu as well)

You keep misspelling sx there's a u in between the s and x lmao

SuX is dead and its just you defending them lmfaoooo 420 lol so edgy

You're so clever I bet the other trolls love you.

I am not defending SX. Why do you all think like that. Good or evil. Life is not Anime. I am defending me. My opinion and my knowledge. I have my switch tricked out. Physically and software wise. Every possible mod. All of it. And I keep seeing all these lies about SXOS. People don't know the truth because of so many people like you. I will educate you. Just let the information flow. Make your own opinion. Keep politics and feelings out of it.

SX is still useful. USB loading is STILL great. Unless Atmo gets a comparable USB option SX will ALWAYS be worth a 4GB EmuNAND. And you guys should not chime in if you don't know what you're talking about and have no actual experience. It's like virgins giving sex advice because they read a book. Please.

Was it that one? I used that program before too. IIRC Emutool can do it too. and I'd rather create a small EmuNAND. In my experience, resizing is more hassle. You need to free up the space and delete stuff anyway.

I like a tiny EmuNAND to conserve SD space and I make SUPER XCI files with updates,dlc and such to keep the big space wasters on the giant HDD. It's only for usb anyway. I even have a script to pull current updates,dlc and build a SuperXCI. Easy peasy

IIRC Emutool only moves. With NxNM and the method in the guide you're essentially creating an emunand dump with a resized and blank USER partition. There is also no size limit you can make it as big or small as you want. You'll need to backup saves and reinstall anything that was installed, but when loading XCI's over USB you aren't really installing anything anyway. You can also use the same dump to create an Atmosphere compatible emunand. If emutool can also do this then it's news to me.

Right. I confused the tool. Same tool same method I used but I started fresh. I keep saying 4GB because I had issues with smaller.Thanks for the link. The future readers are in your debt.

I'd like to point out for everyone that , at least in my case, it was best to have the SXOS partition first. SX looks for the first partition. Atmo won't see the second until you properly configure the ini file...

this become a fanatic discussion I recommend to @optimizedc4 to close the thread if his/her issue get resolved.

Problem has been resolved, and i recommend if y'all want to continue y'alls discussion, please create a new thread. Thanks for helping OP out, everyone!
