I'm attempting to extract the RomFs for SMTV and the .pak files were split into 3 bin file(00, 01, and 02). Apparently I'm supposed to combine them using HxD but how do I do that?
Thank you for the help so far. I appreciate it. Let me know if I got this correct. I can update my firmware of EmuMMC ONLY without touching sysMMC which should allow me to play Diamond and Pearl remakes?
-Download firmware 13.1
-Extract to the SD card
-Disbale AutoRCM, inject the Hekate 5.6.5 payload while holding down volume to get into the menu and disable AutoRCM
-Load EmuMMC> hbmenu> DayBreak
-Update EmuMMC firmware to 13.1
Questions:
-Is that Firmware okay/safe to use on my switch?
-If disable AutoRCM, do I need to ground pin 10 again after successfully update to be able to AutoRCM for injecting Hekate and load my EmuMMC? ~this seems incorrect to me
Thank you!

Hey, do you know if you could emulate NES Classic/SNES Classic firmware on Switch, or anywhere in general?
emuMMC can be used to run higher firmware versions without updating the actual firmware of your console or act as a brick shield. Its not mandatory to use an emuMMC and its also never too late to set one up. Either way, your setup is fine if your intention is not to play online.
There is no CFW that is on version 12.1. SX OS' highest versions is 3.1 and Atmosphere's is 1.2.4
- Noobs really need to stop overusing the word 'brick'. If just trying to send a payload could brick a console, nobody would use that exploit or there would be big red text on all sorts of guides. A patched console just means they patched out an exploit.
- The payload doesn't install or "turn on" anything; its effects exist in RAM so if the console is turned off, you would have to redo the exploit
Outside of Retroarch, you can use pNES and pSNES.
Exactly, that is the use of EmuMMC, having a full functional system leaving original SysNAD untouched.
Never disable AutoRCM, on that way you will end eventually running OFC by mistake and risking to banning or making changes or burning fuses. I preffer to use AutoRCM and Hekate because allows me to autoboot on a configuration or start on a menu for selecting the one system I want (OFC with atmosphére, CFW, SYSNAND, EmuNAND, Linux, Lakka, etc.). Even if AutoBoot is enabled on Hekate, pressing VOL- while loading take you to NIX, so you can select another boot, payload or use all the NIX tools.
Any firmware you want or need is safe, if you load a firmware without CFW you will burn fuses (the fuses avoid you to downgrade firmware on OFW)
Correct: if AutoRCM is disabled, you need to short pins on joy-con rail, press VOL+ and power all at same time.
I don't understand what you mean. Those consoles are so old that they don't have any 'firmware' to speak of. Their only purpose was to just run games.
Oh, You may know it as the NES Mini? It is a smaller version of the NES, and is preloaded with 30 NES Games.
You know the NES Classic Edition is also just an emulator?
Hello,
I'm wondering what steps I need to take if I want to update games and install things from the eShop (like the Japanese voice option for smtV) if I hacked the switch?
The only thing I hacked the switch for was to mod games offline using exefs_patches ips patches. I don't have any hacked games.
I believe I used the atmosphere hack, and I also used hekate to backup the sysNAND (which is the only one I have).

Yes even is based on a open source one. Nintendo have two faces...
on a Hacked console you could theoretically use the nintendo shop, until you get banned
the best way is use a installer like AtmoXL title Installer, DBI, Goldealf or similar.
ok I just want to know then:on a Hacked console you could theoretically use the nintendo shop, until you get banned

does installing Atmosphere modify the sysNAND in any way? if so how does it do so?
want to make sure so I don't do anything too risky
No. Atmosphère patch on memory the OFW loaded from EmuNAND or SysNAND. But big N can know if you load Atmosphère
If you download the SIGpatches from this forum they are backward compatible, they should just work. No, nothing needs to be installed yet.
Sorry not following you on BDSP.
Once again if you install the sig patches from this forum they are back ward compatible, up to the newest formware.
Yep, drop them into the matching bootloader and atmosphere folder in the right place. The right place, matches the folder already there when you download the SIG patches.
I just use the main ones here, that I posted earlier, they work great and like I said are compatible with older firmware
https://gbatemp.net/threads/sigpatches-for-atmosphere-hekate-fss0-fusee-package3.571543/
Nothing to pray about they're just SIGpatches.
That right after you install the game from the cart to SD you can put the cart away some where safe. Really great if you have kids who like to loose things.
If you mean you're real SysMMC, I would not. you're asking got trouble in the form of a ban.
I didn't upload any SIGpatches. The SIG patches are the work of Wizards and Gods, I am but a mere mortal.
No, you should be putting this all on a SD card and boot from that, and you will have a separate partition for your emuMMC, the only interaction would be if you caused an interaction by going online with your emuMMC.

You may not like this, but I would start fresh, re-do your SD card. Follow the guide from this post. NONE of this is my work, I just kind of compiled the basic thought stream together. The guides are the work of Wizards:

PS - You should be able to keep your emuMMC partition, as long as it was made in a similar fashion to this guide, just make sure you have all the files cleaned up and in the right place. As well, I always back up the root of my Fat32 partition before I make changes, just in case something goes wrong.

Okay, so... since nobody seems to want to make a jailbreak for a Mariko Switch, I eventually found someone among my network of friends that was willing to sell theirs... it was in the "potentially patched" range, but evidently hacked. Got it with some dongle called an RCMloader, and the rest of the stuff it came with stock.
At least after figuring out how to make a partition for emuMMC on the SD card, I was then able to finally get Atmosphere to work.
My previous Mariko switch, which has all my legit save files and stuff, is still on 8.0.1, as it shipped in the box.
This new-to-me unit is on 12.1.0...
Simply, I need to find a way to migrate my present user profile to this one, so I can give the Mariko unit to the wife because I know she's been itching to play Metroid Dread since launch... and I think she managed to find a place to score the Special edition copy. I don't know how to do that, and to be fair I do feel lost in terms of what all there is to do with the system, and wondering if it's okay to delete the former owner's user account and keep the presently installed stuff?
This is my first time messing with this stuff on the switch, and well, didn't expect to have a pre-hacked unit to work with. So I'm still kind of in the dark for how to proceed.

Nintendo needs to release a new console, switch is getting such shitty little games lately lol it's pathetic -

The Real Jdbye:
well actually
a new console won't do anything right now, because the games are still in development, that's why there are few games being released -
