    Hacking Playing mounted XCI from USB HDD

    So I've been playing XCI games mounted from my external HDD in SX OS and they run super slow, load screens take over a minute, and I've noticed some frame drops in games that normally wouldn't have this problem. Is this normal when playing games from a USB HDD? Or is something wrong with my USB...

    Hacking Installing games to system memory from Emunand?

    I didn't select hidden partition. I'm using 122 GB of my 128 GB sd card, and Tinfoil is showing an additional 27 gb of system memory that's available

    Hacking Installing games to system memory from Emunand?

    A hidden partition in the NAND? That's safe to write to? It's definitely not a hidden partition on my SD card, I just put it in my PC to double check in disk management.

    Hacking Installing games to system memory from Emunand?

    So I'm running out of room for games on my SD card and the 27 gb in system memory is just sitting there staring at me waiting for me to use it, but I've been avoiding it because I'm afraid it could affect my nand. Will it hurt anything if I install games to system memory with tinfoil while...

    Hacking Questions about updating emunand in SX OS

    So right now I'm running 7.0.1 sysnand and 7.0.1 emunand with SX OS and I want to update my emunand so I can run Cadence of Hyrule. I've read that Choi can be used to update emunand, but if you're not worried about getting banned (which I'm not, this a secondary Switch is dedicated to homebrew...

    Hacking SX bootloader not loading CFW

    I'm using whichever is the latest stable version, not the beta. I'll try the beta auto Now it's saying emunand is disabled and won't let me enable it even though it's on my SD card - do I have to make it again with the new boot.dat? Edit2: I figured it out - I forgot to copy license.dat back...

    Hacking NAND Back ups - Hekate vs SX OS?

    Is there any benefit to backing up my NAND with Hekate instead of SX OS? Can I recover from something like pikabrick with either method?

    Hacking Which CFW should I use?

    Thanks for the recommendations and info! I think I'm going to go with Atmosphere as my primary CFW for the extra features and support, and SX PRO / XCI for convenience when I want to try out large batches of games to see which ones are worth buying.

    Hacking Which CFW should I use?

    So I just got a Switch, it's on update 7.0.1 and the serial starts with XAW1001 (that's good, right?) - I'm interested in running back up games and homebrew emulators. What CFW option would you guys recommend? Is there a guide for the Switch similar to 3ds.guide that everyone trusts? I don't...
