Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[SwitchmodNoob]

It’s choking on something. Let’s start from square one.

Move your /atmosphere and /bootloader to /atmosphere.bak and /bootloader.bak respectively.

Then go here:

I might sound dumb lmao but i am new to this, wdym by moving atmosphere and bootloader to atmosphere.bak and bootloader.bak. you want me to rename the file that?

I'm still wondering if anyone knows how to get more than one controller to work at a time in Retroarch.

Everything I tried to be able to play the emulator at 2 players doesnt work, second controllers don't get detected.

Hey Just one More Q? would it be aright to update to 14.0.1 stock then do hekate then backup the NAND for safe keeping then uhmm? on this emunand to the same? just want to make sure and be on the right page and all and also have switch in flight mode as well right now too. just trying to get this understood and all.

yes. Rename them so we don’t overwrite anything and we can get back to where you are without losing any data.

you will also want to add this to keep you safe if you don’t have anything in place already: https://rentry.org/ExosphereDNSMITM]

What version of HOS are you running right now? If lower than 4 you might not want to touch stock but if higher than 9 it really doesn’t matter and we can forge ahead. Your Emunand will be a direct copy of your Sysnand. You can go online and update to latest via Nintendo on your Sysnand at any time, even after it’s been hacked. The guide will leave your dirty Emunand locked down but your clean Sysnand will be free to play online. Use the guide in the order written and you’ll be fine.

it running 14.0.0 right now binky ohh i get it now thanks <3 ya just double and triple checking to be sure and backing up the nand right now and continuing forward again thanks Binky for the help really appreciate it.

Hi. I just did the retry.org guide for the first time. But after booting atmosphere it shows the atmosphere logo on a blue background for less than a second, then the atmosphere logo on a black screen for like to seconds, then the nintendo switch logo for 20 seconds and after that it just goes black and nothing happens.

i did all that and now in hekate there is no profiles to launch, is it because i am basically starting fresh without deleting the files?

I don't find that guide to be very good. I recommend following this guide instead. Its basically one of the first Switch hacking guides so its guaranteed to work.

Yes…that’s actually great.

You went through this too, right? https://rentry.org/MigrateToAtmosphere1_0_0

If so, then just grab a copy of your /bootloader.bak/hekate_ipl.ini file and put it in your new /bootloader/ directory And then reboot.

Hi guys,
finally got my hands on a exploitable Switch Console.
I followed the "Ultimate Noob Guide" (Process took 4 hours for me xD)
Everything went fine and my dumped cartridges played flawlessly.

But now i got a Problem, i tried renaming my Userprofile via the system settings and now none of the games work. It launches and displays the message "The software couldnt be started". Changing the username back to the original one didnt help either.

Sadly i found out later, that i can rename the users via Goldleaf..

Do i just need to reinstall all the Games? Or is this EmuNand-Thing broken now?

Hope you guys can help me out on this..

Thanks in Advance!

Edit: Question 2 - Can i create more Userprofiles in the CFW or do i need to create them in the OFW to work in the CFW?

That guide is for posers and people who mine nose goblins. (jk…it’s a fine guide!)

Yes, it will.

you’re fine. Just add an account and reinstall your games.

Hope you guys can help me out on this..

the thing about emunand is you‘re not going to be connecting to Ninty anyway so you can create users in System Settings on emunand and then use Linkhalo to bypass the need to have them linked to Ninty. OFW and CFW do not need to be in sync on anything.

If so, then just grab a copy of your /bootloader.bak/hekate_ipl.ini file and put it in your new /bootloader/ directory And then reboot.

just dont want to mess this up lmao, i grab the old hekate.ipl and paste it in the new bootloader folder? because you said directory but im not sure if thats just a term or an actual folder (im a noob as you can tell lmao)

No worries man.

directory=folder

We‘re just grabbing a copy of your old (but good) hekate_ipl.ini from backups that we already worked on and are copying it into the new environment so it can kick off fusee.bin just like before.

Are you trying to do split joycon or two actual (Pro?) controllers?

What have you tried so far they didn’t work?

now it says payloads folder is missing and that it failed to launch, so i put fuse.bin and the hekate 5.7.2.bin in the payloads folder and now it says there is a fatal error when running fuse. that it failed to open sdmc:atmosphere/package3! was adding those files to the payloads directory not the right move?

That should have already been done when you went through this:
https://rentry.org/MigrateToAtmosphere1_0_0

Seems like you might have skipped a few steps?

step 2 below creates the /bootloader/payloads/ directory by unzipping Hekate.
step 4 below puts fusee.bin in the /bootloader/payloads/ directory/

1. Extract atmosphere-x.xx.x-master-xxxxxxxx+hbl-x.x.x+hbmenu-x.x.x.zip to the root of your SD card.
2. Extract hekate_ctcaer_x.x.x_Nyx_x.x.x.zip to the root of your SD card.
3. Extract SigPatches.zip to the root of your SD card.
4. Move fusee.bin to your /bootloader/payloads/ folder.
5. Delete the fusee-primary.bin file in your /bootloader/payloads/ folder.
6. Delete the sept folder in the root of your SD card.
7. Navigate back to your /bootloader/ folder.
8. Overwrite the contents of your hekate_ipl.ini file with one of the following configurations:

Thanks to that guide I got to the conclusion that partition based emuMMC was the issue, and doing the file based solved it. Thank you.
