Does anyone get joycon disconnects when playing in handheld mode?

When I'm playing fortnight in handheld mode, every few days my right joycon disconnects and re seating it will not reconnect it no matter how many times I try but connecting another joycon will work.

Its become so regular that I keep another joycon next to me so I can do rapid swap over, reconnect the dodgy joycon the next day and it will be fine again for a few days.

Strange behavior.

You should be able to just follow the guide to the letter and get a base working system installed.

Once you have that done, theres an easy way and a more surgical way…let’s see if we can do the easy way first.

Carefully compare the /emuMMC/emummc.ini file on your SD Card and on your backup.

If they are exactly the same…down to the last letter and last number…then copy the /emuMMC/ folder from your backup and see if you can boot up.

If the emuMMC.ini files are not the same we’ll need to be more surgical.

Ping once you’re at a stopping point…

It is not. Requires V1 with RCM.

Requirements​

• RCM-exploitable Switch
• RCM exploitation method (Usually a jig, but other methods can be found)
• Computer
• USB-C cable/USB-C Switch autoinjector
• High quality SD card >= 16GB
• microSD card reader for the computer

What's a "USB-C Switch autoinjector"? Do I need one if I have a USB-C to USB-A cable?

It’s just something to inject a payload, like and RCMLoader, Rakado (app on android phone) or even one of the PC apps like TegraRCMGUI. (And when you have a V1 switch you definitely need one.)

Hi, recently I did a raw partition backup since I wanted to add android to my switch. I have failed, but that doesn't matter. So I had to repartition my card which included wiping everything (I backed it all up), but the problem is that I have restored the emuMMC and the boot 0/1 (with raw partition on), but all I could get was Pkg 1 / Pkg 2 mismatch, could not launch HOS. I found a different tutorial and supposedly fixed it, but now I am greeted with a whole new problem. And now all it says is Unknown pkg1 version. HOS version not supported Or emuMMC corrupt! Trying backup bootloader... Found pkg1 <''>. Unknown pkg1 version. HOS version not supported! Or emuMMC corrupt! Failed to launch HOS! Press any key... Any help would be appreciated.

Let’s get some information so we can better assist…

Which guide we’re you following:

FW:
Atmosphere:
Hekate:

Do you inject a payload (and if so which one)
or
Are you using a ModChip (and I’d so which one)

Please paste the contents of your /bootloader/hekate_ipl.ini

I get a little confused:

where and how do you restore the EmuMMC?

 

[ThinkPadT530user]

nvm I just decided to get a fresh start. I successfully dumped the save files and seems to be able to restore them.

Either from a backup you should have made of you emmc or by creating it again from your sysnand.

yes I know how to make it, but I don't understand What @ThinkPadT530user did, hi could restore a emunand backup to the sysnand, or restore a partition backup to a emunand file based or something.

Do NOT delete your /atmosphere/contents directory as it states in the link I’m about to send you.

just move it to /atmosphere/contents.bk for now.

do everything else as stated here:

https://rentry.org/MigrateToAtmosphere1_0_0

e: when you’re done with that you should do this too: https://rentry.org/ExosphereDNSMITM

No worries! It’s totally fine.

The /atmosphere/contents directory has things like your system modules (themes and stuff) in it.

System modules often break things when you upgrade Atmos/FW so it’s common to tell people to delete them.

I like to keep a backup instead of deleting so I can move the modules that work back and identify and download updates of the ones that don’t work.

No big deal.

Reinstall Tinfoil from the installable .nro on the downloads page of tinfoil.io. Make sure you start hbmenu in title override mode for the install by holding (and keep holding until you see hbmenu) the (R) trigger.
