Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[binkinator]

My dumb self that's what it was (it was missing) thanks again.
One last question so if I put PokeMon Diamond on emnunad can I still use JKSV to save it and transfer the save file to my PC to use PKHex to edit it?

Yes, you can absolutely still use JKSV on emunand and save it to your PC and bring it back to you emunand. No issues. This is by design.

Also if I buy the copy of it sometime down the road will I be able to use that save file on the sysnad?

You could temporarily load CFW on Sysnand to do this. The catch is that once you start hacking things it‘s best to leave the two worlds completely separated until such time you know exactly what you are doing. You could get your Sysnand banned if you’re not careful. If you have questions about it…keep asking until you are crystal clear on what you are doing and why.

Also is the little cloud supposed to show up on the games that I own on the emnunad part? That's if I go on top of the game it shows that and if I click on it says download update.

That’s a game that has remnants of an install from your other nand. You can try to download an update and see if that fixes it but it will be easier to delete it and reinstall from a “backup” you might find on the Internet.

Hi, is there any homebrew app to send files from Switch to a phone wirelessly? For example, I would like to extract save files with Jksv and send them over a bluetooth to my phone.

Unsure about bluetooth, but you could try with ftp. If both the Switch and the phone are on the same network, of course. The homebrew is called ftpd. I never tried it, but setting up an ftp server and client is easy. Ftp is slow, so don't try with big files, but saves should be just fine.

Correct on all counts! FTP is the way (for small files only!)

I really like this one because it runs in the background at all times as a service and is stripped down to not consume a lot of resources.

There is a free ftp manager for iDevices that works well for one “site”. If you have more than one you can buy the Pro version but free should suit your needs for now.

This?


e: ohhhhhh. Pretty!

this is perfect for me.

Does it play for a little bit or crash right away?

Here‘s how to easily upgrade your Switch:

(if you want to skip the part about dumping Firmware, you can find it on that Darth Sternie Firmware site.)

It does play a little bit then it will crash after

I’m installing Tunic now to see what it does.

e: installed. pretty chill game. The cloud balls killed me. Anyway, nothing untoward so far. Going to download and install the update just for kicks.

What Firmware and CFW version are you running?

e: I’m on 14.1.2 w/ Atmo 1.3.2

Do you have game save data you want to keep?

if so can we back it up with JKSV, delete it using System -> Data Management -> Delete Save Information and start the game to see if it crashed without saves? We can restore it with JKSV after the test.

JKSV is a save manager, allowing you to backup your saves. It can also be done with DBI, if you use that installer.

That’s perfect. Back up you game saves using either method.

Then delete your game saves for Tunic using the system settings and try to play the game from the beginning and let’s see if that gets rid of the crash.

 

[cheongzewei]

Absolutely works. I’m on FW 14.1.2 and Atmosphere 1.3.2.

What are you doing to install and what errors are you seeing?

i gave it another go. it's working for me now, thanks for replying.

Thanks for the game intro. It‘s actually a decent game.
(I’m now bashing cloud guys with the stick I found in a cave. Much more fun this way. Lol)
Anyway, glad we got lucky! Enjoy your game!

I'm a big fan of Zelda, and I heard tunic is like zelda game, thats why I tried it and I enjoyed it, After I finish this game, I'll try to figure out how to download and play diablo 2 resurrected.

Not a noob to modding but a noob to switch modding. Just hacked my switch and I am afraid of getting banned. How can I use ftp and hbstore without getting banned by connecting to nintendos servers?

If you play pirated game you would get banned, you need a clean NAND to play online

If you follow this guide you will block Ninty but still be able to use FTP and HBStore:

So if I use DNS MITM and exosphere to block Nintendo's servers on my emunand and connect to the internet to use tinfoil stores, I won't get banned on my sysnand for having pirated games on my emunand?

This is correct. Emunand and Sysnand are completely decoupled. Emunand is an exact copy but doesn’t update along with Sysnand after the initial copy. You will be ”self banning” the Emunand in your Switch by obfuscating your Serial number and furthermore “poisoning” you name resolution for all Ninty servers. This way you can’t get to their servers at all and even if you did you will not have any identifying information that will allow your Switch to establish a connection. This setup will have no effect on things that don’t resolve to Ninty addresses and of course nobody else cares about your hidden Serial number. Nothing is 100%, but this setup is pretty darn good.

Just started hacking my switch and wanted to ask what version of tinfoil should I download?

No need to limit yourself to one installer though. Play with a bunch…they each have their use case.

Here’s what I run on mine:

Installers​

• Tinfoil — Polished installer. Recommend the Self installing version.
• DBI — Capable feature filled and fast installer.
• Tinwoo — A nice installer for when you just want to install.
