Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[Sozoe]

Its not "emuNAND", its called "emuMMC" because you're emulating the eMMC in the Switch. emuNAND would make sense if we were emulating a NAND chip but the Switch doesn't use a NAND chip. Also there aren't any homebrew applications that do what you're asking for.

Sorry I guess that I still have that term in my head from the 3DS era...

So it's like a LiveUSB then, nothing of what I did got registered on the sysMMC (not even the autoRCM?).

Now I wonder how those Discord bots work, I assumed they were hacked Switches using some sort of homebrew to access the Nintendo Online.

Thank you

I do some read. To be clear. I don't use Any Nintendo online service like e-shop, etc. I don't care about ban in this device.
Can i reformat whole SD CARD to FAT 32.
Format SD CARD in hekate . Don't use emunand
Copy all clean CFW files on SD CARD. And i have almost 120gb avaible storage on SD CARD? I only use nsp to install, or tinfoil. I don't need Nintendo online service. Cause i only play single player games

Yes, you can. I was banned and I just run Atmosphère on sysNAND with no emuNAND at all because what are they gonna do? Find out I have an old Gamecube in storage and ban that too? lol

But unlike me, you can still change your mind in the future. If you think there is even a small chance that you will, maybe you should try to avoid being banned.

Well AutoRCM is applied neither to sysMMC nor emuMMC; its actually applied to the hardware, or console, itself. Therefore technically, it is registered to your system. However, there is no data to suggest that AutoRCM alone can induce a ban.

Well the important part is that you got it working and that it had nothing to do with your firmware. And from my perspective, the emuMMC wasn't booting anyways so I didn't see the harm in trying to change the boot sector nor did some other people but I guess I won't be using that as a piece of advice anymore.

Absolutely. It was so frustrating as something so trivial held me back almost two weeks. Since the fix, i have been able to power ahead setting up everything else with no fuss (e.g sigpatches, Installing xci, extacting keys,etc).
I wish i could pinpoint the exact reason for the issue but i spent so much time reading and experimenting that i have lost the interest and basically just relieved that it works. I will go back and try to get a more comprehensive answer but for time being, just going to enjoy my switch. Thanks again for your assisstance and suggestions.

Hello, I have a big problem. I have newest firmware +newest CFW and newest sigpatches. All games work--> except Animal Crossing. I still played it in February. if I want to start it always comes: the files are defect and must be checked. i deleted the game on the emmc (cfw) and simply reinstalled it completely with updates and all the dlcs. Whenever I want to start it, it always says: The sftware could not be started. return to the home menu.

I have already deleted the ams folder and hekate (bootloder) folder and moved them to the SD card new again, complete with sigpatches etc. I just can't get this one game to run. Does anyone have an idea? That's exactly it. A game that my girlfriend plays. I hope you have an idea without losing your whole island.

If you want my opinion, buying weapons in BOTW isn't really worth it. Clothes, definitely, but not weapons. You'll get weapons from defeating certain enemies and finding hidden chests that are much stronger than anything you can buy. Especially when you're strong enough to go to Hyrule Castle. No need to be strong enough to actually complete the dungeon, just sneak in like a thief, grab some loot and run away before something kills you. It's lots of fun, plus when you do get strong enough to complete Hyrule Castle, the satisfaction of killing all those monsters that you had to run away from before is great.

But this is a bit off-topic...

Thanks
One of the cheats is being invincible lol and ive just started the game. Nothing can generally kill me

Yet to take on the 4 beasts but i got to the main castle ok. I guess i will want to get the master sword first i will look today
Brilliant game

Reformated SD CARD Today again. I only put clean SD CARD with CFW files. My 118gb SD CARD is back.
I don't use Any Nintendo online service. They May ban my device. I don't care. I set up DNS Block too.

 

[Gep_Etto]

I don't care. I set up DNS Block too.

Great. Enjoy not having to waste 32GB on an emuMMC you don't want!

bump.

Don't bump thread here, your question would be answered if someone know the answer to your question.

The terms NAND and MMC trend to be interchangeables, but not all NANDs are MMC (could be SD card, USB thumbs, etc) the MMC is a format of interface to exchange data between a storage and a device.

The MMC or (eMMC when is embedded) have a NAND chip inside.
NAND is a type of electronic storage.

So, on the Switch, you have a internal storage on a NAND chip, connected to the console using a MMC interface. And you have a "external" storage on a NAND chip connected to the console using a SD interface.

AutoRCM corrupts a byte in the BOOT0 and BOOT1 partitions of the eMMC to cause the Switch to boot into ReCovery Mode. The corruption could technically happen naturally in the wild so they would risk banning legit users if they ever decided to go down that path so with you 100%.

PS I know it prolly feels like “Fuck with Dra day” and I really don’t mean it to be. We appreciate you man. Much love for all you do here!

I just got a mod chip installed in my Nintendo Switch OLED and I was wondering how to install homebrew on it.
I don't know anything about Nintendo Switch homebrew but I have homebrewed a Wii U and 3ds. I can't find anything online about how to install homebrew on it only tutorials on how to install the mod chip. I would love to find a step by step video on how to install homebrew on my system.
If you have any questions feel free to ask me

Head over here to finish hacking your OLED:

Question about autorcm. Its safe to turn on this option in hekate? Or maybe this thing drain battery? Really unpatched v1 switch can be pernament hacked for this moment?

Question about autorcm. Its safe to turn on this option in hekate? Or maybe this thing drain battery? Really unpatched v1 switch can be pernament hacked for this moment?

I stopped using it because my Switch was slowly losing its charge when it was turned off, and it couldn't boot anymore after leaving it for some weeks with it (I had to plug the charger and wait for an extremely slow charging speed until it had just enough charge to boot Atmosphere again).

I used it for a while, but I keep mine on the charger when not in use, so no big deal. Even if you run out of battery you can still charge it for a few hours and then quickly boot it and inject a payload and put it back on the charger. I’ve not seen anybody permanently lock themselves out using AutoRCM. I’ve since switch over to a hardware injector (Trinket M0) so I don’t need it any more. You really only need it if you reboot…normally people just put their switch to sleep and only inject if they power off for some reason.

Hello, I have a big problem. I have newest firmware +newest CFW and newest sigpatches. All games work--> except Animal Crossing. I still played it in February. if I want to start it always comes: the files are defect and must be checked. i deleted the game on the emmc (cfw) and simply reinstalled it completely with updates and all the dlcs.

Try downloading the game from another source/website.

I think I had the same problem with smash. Someone told me to soft reset switch. Something like that. U have to hold some buttons for some time. And after that smash worked perfectly.

 

[megaphoenix]

I might be a bit confused over wording, but what is the source for tinfoil cheats? I noticed elsewhere it says cheatslips, but the cheat thread here says it can be updated through aioupdater (this is how I currently update the cheat database for tinfoil)

Am I already using the gbatemp cheat database and I just got confused? Or is there a way to change it if I’m not? The latest database number was 09022022, I believe, which is the same as gbatemp.

Am I already good here and just confused?

Just a quick one really I've been running an emunand since getting my switch but I've never ever played online and have no intention of ever playing online so couldn't care less if my switch gets banned so I want to get the extra space for games and move my cfw to sysnand are there any guides for this and what changes do I need to make to the ipl txt file?

Also can I just copy my original folders across to my sysnand with all my nro's themes and bits into the sysnand minus the emunand folder?

You can install games on the emunand space by telling the game to install on “internal” storage. At best you’re going to save about 30 Gig which is really not that much. At this price point I’d recommend upgrading to a larger card to increase your cheap SDCard space and keep your options open in case you change your mind down the road.

All that said, if you still want to do it, here’s a thread where someone else did the same thing by simply “backing up” their emunand and restoring it using Hekate:

https://gbatemp.net/threads/migrating-emummc-to-sysnand.612706/

After that you just move you Nintendo folder and you’re good to go.

e: if you boot Sysnand w/ CFW it will of course pick up all your nro and themes From your SDCard.
