Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

Hi All,

Any help appreciated, accidentally updated after installing hekate and atmos.
Everything was working fine until I updated.
I can still inject, but when I load cfw, I get a black screen.
Thank You.

likely suspects will be

1) fusee.bin not updated and placed in /bootloader/payloads

https://rentry.org/SwitchHackingIsEasy

2) upgraded from old version of atmosphere and didn’t clean up directories and fix /bootloader/hekate_ipl.ini

https://rentry.org/MigrateToAtmosphere1_0_0

3) didn’t update Sigpatches

• Sigpatches (GBATemp) — alternative Sigpatches for when others don’t seem to work.
• Sigpatches — get your iTotalJustice Sigpatches here (with free instructions!)

e: might want to update your injector payload while you’re at it.

Hope someone can help me with this.
At the moment, I am not sure which version I'm using.

The one that is currently installed in my switch requires me to run a program called 'TegraRcmGUI.exe'
every time my switch ran out of battery (from 0%) and inject the payload before it turns itself on.

My question is - I wish to update my CFW to the version where I don't have to inject payload every time
the switch ran out of battery. Is it even possible?

Also - I am looking to play some PSP games in the switch if someone can direct me to the right page?

This isn't possible if you're using the RCM exploit.

Use PPSSPP.

Use PPSSPP.

Sorry, very new to the CFW world - don't even know what RCM exploit is >_<
You're saying its possible providing I need to upgrade my switch or mobo or sth?

If you are using the RCM exploit, then if your battery dies, you have to resend the payload. The easy solution to this is to not let your system die. There are hardware modifications that you can install to get around this.

Hopefully not corruption. Are you on exfat or fat32?

Take the SD card out and put it in your PC and see if everything reads OK.

paste a copy of your /bootloader/hekate_ipl.ini here.

The “checking to see if game can be played” could be that you’re trying to play a game with a different Profile. Do you have multiple users on this switch?

It is in FAT32 and there wasn't any issue with it when I connected it to try to update Hekate, Fusee, and Atmosphere.

Nothing untoward in your .ini file. You don’t have an autoboot set, yet you’re not even seeing hekate…it‘s got to be before that.

How do you have you SX dongle set up to boot hekate?

• Did you build hekate.x.x.x.bin into a boot.dat file?
• Did you download SX_Gear_v1.1.zip and move hekate.x.x.x.bin to payload.bin?

just trying to figure out your boot path…

Thanks - what keywords should I look for in purchasing / installing this hardware modification?

I'm going to be honest with you, I'm not entirely certain which way I'm doing it. I'm going to assume it is which ever method was easiest to change to from SXOS. I'm using the SXOS pro dongle, I don't know if that clears things up at all.

Is there a way that I can definitively figure this out?

 

[Stardust3033]

In theory, yes, you could do it via cloud saves and your clean (but slightly dirty) Sysnand on your hacked switch. You would have to boot CFW on your Sysnand and have an nro install (no nsp) of JKSV to export game saves for modification. Atmosphere by itself was designed to not get banned…it’s the other things you will be tempted to do, intentionally or by accident, that will draw the ire of Ninty. You will be leaving the arena of “100% safe” to “pretty safe as far as anyone knows.”

e: depending on how you edit your saves, I imagine there’s a line in the sand somewhere that crosses over to cheating if you’re using it to gain an advantage in online games. Don’t know where that is to be honest.

yo sorry for being all over the place first of all LOL, but quick question.

well not sure if i should ask here or in the switch bans thread, but connecting to the internet with a cfw switch is safe right? just as long as i dont go online with a nonlegit nsp? thats my understanding of switch bans at least..

No worries. If your Emunand is a copy of a clean Sysnand and all you’re doing is CFW, that’s what Atmosphere is for. The issue is that people forget what they’ve done so as a general rule we tell people that clean Sysnand is for Online and dirty Emunand is for offline. There are other things such as changing your Profile Avatar or using Cheats in Online games that you can read about in the Switch Ban Hub thread.

Probably easier to just walk through this guide and it will get you to a known state (rather than reverse engineering what you have right now): https://rentry.org/mys8q

ohh ok perfect yea explains why my first hacked switch got banned.
my goal is to play with some infinite health codes for metroid for some routing tests, but with my specific save file. would I just download the save file on the sysnand then use the codes on my emunand then? would that work or will the save file not be on the emunand?

You really should do that on Emunand with exosphere and dns:mitm installed so you can be connected to the Internet (but in no way connected to Ninty.)
https://rentry.org/ExosphereDNSMITM
Once this is set up it will allow you to safely download the save file to your Emunand.

Emunand is a point in time copy of your Sysnand. Once the copy is made they are for all intents and purposes two completely separate “machines” (that just happen to use the same underlying hardware to run one at a time.)

It doesn't fix it for me unfortunately.

you were responding to a two year old thread. You’re more likely to get help here.

Did you recently upgrade your Firmware or Atmosphere and now you’re getting a black screen? Please give as much detail as possible About your issue.

hey so im trying to connect to the save data cloud to downland the save, but i get error code 2155 8007. btw i set up exoshphere and dns:mitm exactly how you said.

My apologies…I didn’t realize you were downloading the save file from Ninty.

There is a greater than 0 amount of risk to this next part as mentioned before.
If you have bannable components installed on your Switch they may trigger a Switch ban.
You accept all risk by executing the following:

You will need to use your 100% clean (almost) Sysnand to grab the cloud save file, to do so you will need to make 2 slight adjustments

1) /exosphere.ini should read exactly like so

blank_prodinfo_sysmmc=0
blank_prodinfo_emummc=1

2) your /atmosphere/hosts/default.txt file needs to be renamed to emummc.txt

This will allow you 100% clean Sysnand to be booted via the Hekate menu Stock SysNAND

You will then be able to sync your cloud based game save and back it up using JKSV on Sysnand.

you simply export your save files from Sysnand and import the saves to Emunand (and visa versa)

Hi guys! Need some help with sigpathes.

My switch is in latest FW with latest version of atmosphere/hekate.
I can play all recent games with no problems, however, i tried to install Xenoblade 1, which is an old game, and its giving me a message informing sigpatches are invalid.

What can cause this? How can i fix?
