Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

€: Nevermind, I used the emulator for too long and forgot about the home button.

Is the thread on gbatemp? I can't find any official thread, but I found the firmware posted on github. I tried using searchbar on gbatemp but can't find any official release thread relating to hwfly-nx.
Are you talking about sthetix, is he the author?

No, not sthetix. TBH, I think it's @doom95 ... could be mistaken about the hwfly-nx author bit, but I know that if it can be repaired, he can do it.

I do not know what to say
this is my last attempt, with a file I know for sure that works (it belongs to a friend of mine)

The sw does not tell much as debug: "has failed to process" -> developer has not done a good job, honestly

I used the GUI version before on Windows 7, and it worked fine. The cli version also works fine, even on Linux, but it's made for Windows. It should work for you too. I'd say the developer has done a fine job, as his software, although kind of old, still works and is useful with the latest nsp files, as long as you're using a recent prod.keys. What version of Windows are you using? Maybe try running in retro-compatibility mode, or something. I'm not much of a Windows user, anymore, although I still have access to Windows 7. Assuming your NSP files are OK, that only leaves your USB ports or your USB-C cable as possible culprits. Have you tried other cables/ports? Worst case scenario, you'll have to resort to copying the files by hand to the SD card, but it's really not too great, as the SD port is flaky on the Switch, and the less you insert and remove the SD card, the safer you are from a hardware malfunction.

Never tried FTP on Switch. Must be slow as molasses, right? But you're right, it can be a substitute to pulling the SD card out.

Tom Vita’s version is relatively quick. It’s my go-to always-on option for quick and dirty.

But you’re right, for larger files I go with UMS/MTP.

It sorta looks like a small Switch, and it has "RCM loader" written on it. Still trying to figure out where that thing fits into the equation. All I know about it is that it helps me power on the switch when it's off, otherwise it acts as if it's bricked (I assume I have that AutoRCM setting set on).

Then that means the dongle you own is the RCM Loader although there are multiple models of it so if you want to know exactly which one you have, you can check on their website. Anyways, as I said earlier, this dongle reproduces the act of sending a payload from a device through a USB cable. If that still doesn't make sense, then just follow the whole guide until the end and hopefully, you'll understand what steps the dongle replaces. Also since you have AutoRCM enabled, you can skip any steps involving booting into RCM because, as the name implies, this setting AUTOmatically launches the console into RCM.

My firmware is 14.1.2 and the update file was 1.19 GB i think.

Well, objectively there is no reason why it shouldn't be working. Try reinstalling the game, DLC, and updates to see if that changes anything.

Is there a way to sync Sysnand and Emunand? For example, I have a legit game with updates and DLC downloaded on Sysnand but on Emunand the game tells me I need to download the update and DLC.

Technically, there is no way to sync them because they both operate independently of one another. The only time they are the same is when you initially create the emuMMC because emuMMC always starts out as a copy of sysMMC. So in order for you to achieve what you want, you have to recreate your emuMMC. Bear in mind that you will have to do this every time you want something from emuMMC or sysMMC transferred to the other without manually doing it.

hey so this cover (thing?) over this part on the switch came off while i was replacing the battery. Idk if it was needed, but it's been working fine without it- i just kinda want to make sure that it's ok to have removed or if it may eventually do damage to my console if i don't put it back?

Is it a soft foamy square squishy thing? It‘s probably for the backing of the SD Card connector to help hold it in. That or possibly a chunk of thermal pad? If things are working you’re probably fine. Most the stuff in the Switch is engineered pretty well. People run without the entire heat shield for example. still wouldn’t hurt to look at some mobo pics and see if you can find what’s missing.

yeah, it was over a part right next to the connector for the battery, actually, so i was wondering if it was just cushioning or something! Good to know it probably was fine to keep off, it seemed a little out of place to be fair....

probably a little piece of thermal pad on an IC. you can leave it where it was and it won’t hurt.

is there an app that locks a game to a certain FPS?

 

[impeeza]

Yes, Hekate (the bootloader itself) has a page for this that will give you all the data required to calculate Watts.

View attachment 323711

remember the Ohm's Law: Watts [W] = Voltage [V] * Current [A]

mA = A * 1000 => A = mA / 1000
mV = V * 1000 => V = mV / 1000

So:
Voltage now: 3749mV = 3.749 V
Current now: -484mA = -0.484 A

Then Current Power (consumption): 3.749 V * -0.484 A = -1.815 VA = -1.815 W or -1815 mW

There are cheats for many games to bump some of them to 60 fps.

What are you looking to do?

Pacman World Repac FPS isnt stable/ is uncapped it ranges from 30FPS and 60FPS and its noticable. kind of messes with my eyes

Might want to ask over here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/cheat-codes-ams-and-sx-os-add-and-request.520293/page-2542#post-9921582

lots of bad chatter about fps for this game on Switch. Would be strange if we needed an overclock to play a stock game…

many switch games need a overlock to run properly on switch so thats nothing new. crysis off the top of my head was particularly bad for months.

personally I OC every game to 1224/768/1600 to avoid nintendos/devs laziness
