Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[Casual]

So my switch was fixed the original modder was able to fix it @binkinator you were right it wasn’t a dead eMMC! There was a small short on a point and my battery was completely drained off. The diagnostic was that the eMMC was dead since it the process passing through the chip wasn’t able to get a response from the eMMC. I wonder if my dock was the cause of the short though…
Now what should I do in terms or backing up keys and stuff in case something like this occurs again?

Whew! Dodged a bullet. Congrats man!

You should backup your Sysnand right away. Keep a copy on your PC, another on an sd card you don’t use, one in the cloud, another on BlueRay in case of the apocalypse and all they have is SonyBD players in the future. My point being you can recover from just about anything as long as you have a copy of your Sysnand. Use Hekate for the initial backup.

For general maintenance backups you can also use NXNandManager or EmuTool to backup your Emunand.

For the main partition that you can see with Windows…just throw it in your PC and copy everything you can see and throw it in a safe place on your PC.

An additional thing I do is rotate bit for bit copies of my SD Cards so at most I only lose a couple of weeks progress should an sd card fail. Probably a bit much but I’m paranoid like that.

wanted to ask about a savegame.... but am not sure where to ask.

Ask away and we’ll see. Could get lucky.

Wow. I don‘t have any specifics about this game so I googled around a bit and there’s not much out there except that Windows uses Steam for game saves?

Anybody else have better information on Shadowverse?

I’m pretty light on cheats but go ahead and ask away so at least others can see and respond.

this one? https://gbatemp.net/threads/cheat-codes-ams-and-sx-os-add-and-request.520293/post-9887349

Unfortunately not. Your questions are very specific. Hopefully someone with more in depth knowledge of cheats will swing by and assist.

 

[Space_Goddess_Samus_Aran]

Does JKSV even see a save file? Meaning can you export one and see if it might even be in clear text?

i guess not. when i try to dump a save of xenoverse. it freezes and i have to hardreset

edit: it worked but have to see if it actually did it.

i have a safefile1.dat and system.dat

 

[binkinator]

i have a safefile1.dat and system.dat

Are they encrypted? Can you open them with HxD and see text or is it all garbage? I think there was. Homebrew that was able to decrypt this game’s save files.

Coming back again and wasting my whole day on my problem again i guess.
So, whenever i try to backup my card with NxNandManager, it just backs up Sysnad, that 32GB one. Shouldn't it also dump hidden partition too? Or i'm good if i backed up the files manually already? ( simple copy-paste in Windows explorer from SD card)

Can I add exFat drivers to the emunand partition on an SD Card? Is there a way to edit an emunand partition on PC and adding the exFat Driver with NxNandManager or hacdiskmount or anything else?
I have a friend that updated his emunand via DayBreak and asked me if he should install fat32 or fat32+exfat, I thought that his SD Card was fat32 because it's the recommended format. Hence, I told him to install either of them and he installed fat32 but now when loading Atmosphere it obviously says "SD Card is exFAT but installed HOS driver only supports FAT32!" because his SD Card has an exFat partition. I thought about copying all files on the exFat partition to a PC, formating only the exFat partition to Fat32 with a partition manager (I typically use Minitool Partition Wizard or EaseUS), pasting all files back, and done, but I'm not too sure if the emunand partition wouldn't get corrupted while doing that, maybe partition manager programs touch something that Atmosphere doesn't like and it doesn't work anymore. I told him to make a backup of his current emunand before doing any type of formating. The thing is, he uses a 400gb SD Card and its taking a long time, I'm worried about files getting corrupted with all that transferring from the SD Card to a PC Drive and vice-versa too. So I would like to just add the exFat driver to the emunand via PC or Hekate because I can't enter DayBreak without accessing Horizon OS that doesn't load because he's using an exFat partition. Maybe we should format from exFat to Fat32 on Hekate? I read somewhere that Horizon has a partition manager built in, maybe that's safer to use.

Yeah, while doing backup i got several errors.
I guess my SD card is going to trash then.
