its exactly 4gb.

Problem nr. 2:
ive tried another game ( pokemon mystery dungeon gates to infinity) which is smaller. I got it on the sd but retroarch wont run it. When i scanned the directory it found the game but didnt make a 3ds folder for it... it says "the game you are trying to load must be decrypted before using it with Citra" but it is already decrypted

I can’t link here but I’ve found several that are smaller than 4G.
Not sure on the state of the decrypted file.

Perhaps you can try another site for ROMs?

 

[The_E_Word]

already tried that, from multiple different sites, but everytime i download it it ends up being exactly 4gb for the decrypted file

hey I also got a problem after trying to update my switch to the latest firmware + atmo.
I used the AIO updater for atmo and it worked, after that I used it for the normal firmware and it rebooted back to heka, there I chose the third option "payload" and used "fuse", after that the console did not boot anymore. I tried to restart etc. but no luck. Any ideas?

Edit: after putting it into the docking station and try to boot it again, I get a new error "[NXBOOT] unable to identify package1!

Something got borked. Going to have to walk through it manually. This should fix you right up.

Uh...why wouldn't it be? How else would anyone download games from the eShop?

Thanks for clarification. I mainly use sysNAND rather than stock.

thank you that worked, but I think my other sd card is broken. I had to use a new one with this tutorial.

Format the old card with rufus (fat32 w/ 32k block size) to be sure: https://rufus.ie/en/

You can also test your card's integrity with h2test2: https://3ds.hacks.guide/h2testw-(windows).html

Hey all, I currently have V1 console and about to install the modchip on my OLED, once installed, what is the process to install atmosphere and cfw, I cannot find a guide at all on how to do this. Thanks

 

[R3DRE111AVER]

All you do is download Atmosphere, put it on the SD card, then rename your bootloader of choice to payload.bin and place it on the root of the SD card. My personal recommendation is to download Atmosphere from here as it will not only give you the CFW but any additional homebrew apps you may want and download Hekate from here as the bootloader of choice.

Yes.

Yes.

Thank you very much, do we need to partition the SD card etc like on the V1?

If you want to run a partition-based emuMMC, then yes. Hekate can partition the SD card for you.

Any news about softmod jailbreak for the switch ?

 

[Draxzelex]

Any news about softmod jailbreak for the switch ?

It already exists and its called PegaScape.

I would like to extract a game update from my clean sysmmc (using NxNandManager) without any cfw and then install the update to my emummc.

How can I do this? In NxNandManager, I found several .nca files (meta, program, manual, control) for my game, but which of them will I need to install the update? And how will I be able to install these files to my emummc? Should I convert them somehow to nsp?

can anybody help me? i have been trying to install botw and i finally have everything except for the base game nsp, which was too large to move it to my sd, so i splitted it into parts but cant merge it using NSPsplitty because of an error mesage saying "there's not enough space in the disk", idk why it shows this as it's almost empty and the nsp is surely lower than the maximum capacity of my sd card. i saw on a post that using nx-shell can make installing splitted nsp's into the switch, but i dont really know how to do it, i cant find it anywhere. do i need to merge it before using it? i am trying to use the "set archive bit" thing but it does nothing, or at least i think so, should this be working? am i missing something?

it’s unrelated to nx-shell.

Most installers will handle large files automatically and do the splitting for you.

Which installer are you using?

Here are some of the installers I use.

Installers​

• Tinwoo — A nice installer for when you just want to install
• Tinfoil — Polished installer. Recommend the Self installing version.
• DBI — Capable feature filled and fast installer.
• Goldleaf — The kitchen sink but it can also install games.

All of them handle installing large games without the need to do manual file manipulation.
