Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

Is eBay the best place to buy an unpatched switch? I don’t know whether to get an unpatched switch or an oled switch?

eBay, Amazon, or wherever is the cheapest as long as you can guarantee that it is unpatched. Also, you can only hack an OLED Switch with a modchip so if your plan is to hack, then the choice is obvious.

Im just to dumb to find the thread on how to use different sd cards, one with atmos and the other with sxos. Can someone help me find it?

If you want to dual boot check this out. (I do something very close but with SXOS, Atmosphere, HOS, Android, L4T and Lakka…all on the same SD card.)

The SDCard slot is a weakness of the Switch. It is very susceptible to failure with repeated sd card swaps.

What chip would an oled need is there someone on these forums that could install it?

It would require either an SX Core or HWFly which are modchips that require soldering. Also, nobody on these forums will be offering to install it for you as Nintendo sent cease and desist letters to all chip installers to make it harder for people to hack any Switch that isn't patched.

Makes sense just going to buy an oled switch and keep it stock thanks though it just seems like a waste to pay so much for an inferior switch which I can’t take online

Pretty Noob question here...

I have this issue..


I've been using Awooo Installer and installed a shitton of games...not sure where exactly it errored out. Looks like all the games were installed...but I have this constant loading Icon for one of the installed games that won't launch...not detrimental, but super annoying. How do I get rid of this?

what you mean is it wont take up more space on visible partition? but it WILL take more space if i install in invisible, or system emulated partition?

When you created your emuMMC, you had to partition part of your SD card. That partition is initially just empty space because its meant to emulate (which is what emu in emuMMC is short for) the internal memory of your actual console or sysMMC. This empty space has already been pre-allocated meaning its not available for normal usage with your SD card. However this empty space is available for usage with the internal memory of your emuMMC. And since the space has been pre-allocated, installing anything to it will not take up anymore space on your SD card. Of course, you cannot install anything if it would exceed the remaining space in the pre-allocated partition and you cannot expand the partition either. Everything else that happens outside the partition is treated like normal; installing content to the SD card within emuMMC will lead to the same results as installing content to the SD card while in sysMMC.

Can we merge NSP / DLC somehow ? Some switch games have a silly amount of DLC & I was wondering if we could merge them as one & install them as one ?

Not that I am aware of a way to merge them, there was "super" xci to merge update with the xci.

Yes OLED need modchip for CFW. It goes for around 600 pounds though, I paid $650 + tax for mine so 712 USD, you might be lucky to find one from an individual seller that doesn't use platform like Ebay.
