Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[binkinator]

I'm on AMS 1.3.1 and FW 14.1.1.
I unfortunatly had to re-intall my game from the cart so it's back to V1. So i basically need all the update files for BOTW.

Just the latest update. They are cumulative. You’re in luck though…seems one of the shops is back up Today!

update: might be out of luck…seems quotas are pretty saturated. Going to have to be resourceful and find the latest update. They are out there. Good luck!

Update versions are in the new FW so that’s what’s telling the Switch to nag you.

Update version numbers are kept in system save data, that is kept up-to-date whenever you connect online. Regardless of HOS version, a system format will wipe all traces of game updates and the system will never know about game updates again, unless it re-connects to Nintendo of course.

Try entering maintenance mode and immediately exiting. Should reset the nag.

i.e. Only steps 1 and 2 in the following (reboot after 2)

Possibly. Maybe a bit more than normal because I seem to remember it happening to one of the big red icon games. I don’t recall which because it’s been easy enough to recover. I’m keeping mine down rev on purpose so I can inject other ROMs into them using CaVE by @DarkAkuma (thanks man! your work!) If you’re not doing the same thing, double check you’re on the latest update? Thanks all I can think of.

Uh, that's weird, both apps are on the last versions and still crash. Maybe it's an Atmosphere bug?

I recently got an OLED switch and the online membership program with the games is pretty lackluster. It seems like modded switch is the way to go to to be able to play all my GBA, GC, Wii and DS games. I tried doing some research but quickly became overwhelmed. There seem to be two camps. One that says the softmod unpatched switch is preferable and others that say the battery life and performance gains make the OLED hardmod more worth it. Can anyone guide me on how much better the performance and battery life is and if there is any difference in the emulation capability between the softmod unpatched and hardmod patched versions? Is there even android/dolphin support on the hardmod version?

What do you mean by “screen”? Do you have an example?

I had someone try to replace the front and backplate on my Switch, and he accidentally broke the connector on my LCD screen. Looking for a replacement LCD screen for my hac-001 Switch, with connectors, and anything else I may need.

Prefer something from Amazon, if possible.

You need v1 if you want to do Android or Linux.

Aha. Like…the whole damn thing. Gotcha. I’ve not had to do one…yet.

unless anyone else has a preference…I think the Amazon search bar + sort by reviews is going to be your best bet.

Possible but it will be tough to keep a GitHub ticket open for more than a few seconds for anything “nsp related”. There was one edge case that got a one off release in the GH comments. Latest release include that fix. Honestly not having any issues beyond those I self inflict.

Alright newb question, updated atmosphere and it boots directly into emuMMC how do I stop this so I can see Hekate?

hold down (Vol -) button during boot…specifically when you see the Hekate splash but feel free to spam the button.

(If you want to change the behavior look at autoboot option at the top of /bootloader/hekate_ipl.ini)

Thank you very much! I also change the reboot payload as I realized when I copied over the new atmosphere this got replaced, swapped it back with the newest Hekate and now I can easily reboot into Hekate from my emuMMC. I appreciate the time you took to help me, thanks for being a rockstar!

Hekate has an option in one of the menus to do this automatically. This should also keep itself up-to-date whenever you update Hekate.

How do you go into RCM mode on newer switches?

All none Lite unit can get into RCM mode, but you need an unpatched unit to push a payload via a computer/payload dongle etc with a jig.

You can’t, V2 and OLED you use an HWFLY chip, soldering required unfortunately, never have decided to buy one, just keep a v1 (unpatched) and OLED for online play.

Fantastic, thank you, I’ll take a look.

Think I found out what the problem was, and have to Update AMS

Atmosphère 1.3.2 – what’s new​

From the changelog:

• Support was improved for 14.0.0+.
  • loader was updated to reflect the latest official behaviors.
  • ro was updated to reflect the latest official behaviors.
• A number of minor issues were fixed and improvements were made, including:
  • A memory leak was fixed in filesystem path management; this could cause a crash when launching games ~100 times, or when deleting/re-downloading games.
  • A bug was fixed that could cause threads to not see a newly signaled semaphore.
  • A number of minor inaccuracies were fixed in the updated FileSystem APIs.
• General system stability improvements to enhance the user’s experience.

Atmosphère 1.3’s main feature is its support for the latest Switch Firmware 14.0.0+ of course, but it also adds a mechanism for automatically cleaning up erpt_reports. Additionally, this revision brings PC support for libstratosphère, mostly for debugging purposes.
