    Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

    I am trying to get my save files off my Switch to use in emulators. I just performed a NAND and key dump of my Switch using Fusee and Hekate, I don't want to install any homebrew or CFW on the Switch itself so I can't use apps like Checkpoint. I can load the nand dump in NxNandManager using...

    Updating the hacks on a Vita that had been unused for years without risking my PSN account.

    I have a launch-era Vita that I got used ages ago, mostly was ignoring the games I got for it just to download demos off PSN, so it didn't get much use. I want to actually start using this again, and at this point I might as well hack it as well to load CFW. That's where I am running into a bit...

    Need advice on replacing the Battery and Thermal Paste on my Switch

    My launch-era switch's battery is starting to bulge a bit, so before it becomes a huge problem I decided to order a replacement battery kit from IFixIt, I was told though that since I am going to have to open it up to replace the battery I might as well replace the thermal paste too. (Also, to...

    Thanks, I was trying to find the latest version but all I found was that older link and dead repos. I wasn't aware that there was a new active repo that was still being updated. I can just load this through Hekate using Fusee and don't need to run it on it's own right?

    Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

    I've been told that some of my information is outdated? I can launch lockpick through Hekate apparently, and that the latest version is here: https://gbatemp.net/download/lockpick_rcm-1-9-16-fw-21-0-0-zoria-hekate.39459/ Is that right? Will this still dump the keys of firmware version 22.1.0? I...

    Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

    I want to do a backup dump of my unhacked switch. I had done this before a few years ago and asked for help here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/switch-noob-paradise-ask-questions-here.488277/page-1944#post-10096227 But it has been a while and I am not sure if anything has changed. I have a...

    Backup/Transfer of data to new PS4, both unhacked

    I am considering getting a new PS4 Pro to replace mine because it's disk drive is broken and when I looked up what a complicated mess it is to replace it I was wondering if it would be easier to just get a used console instead. (I basically have to completely tear the entire thing apart...

    Largest MicroSD card I can get for my PSP? Recommended speeds?

    Want to get back into using my PSP, especially since from what I recall you can install permanent CFW on 3000 model PSPs now (Going to have to look up how to do that, though I am sure it's easy). The battery I have figured out, seems the Ostend brand ones (If only is was this easy to find a...

    Hardware Where can I get good quality replacement shoulder button cables?

    Can't just anybody claim a part is OEM on eBay though? I've seen a lot of clear knockoffs over the years that claimed they were genuine. One of the first results is one that claims OEM and USA with flags and stickers all over the thumbnail, which to me feels like it screams "I am trying to hide...

    Hardware Where can I get good quality replacement shoulder button cables?

    I have a New 3DS (Not XL) with iffy shoulder buttons. I bought replacements but they are clearly lower quality, and when trying to install them the R switch on these NEW buttons seems even more broken already than my original ones! Is there anywhere I can get good replacements? All I can find a...

    Hacking 3DS NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

    Been out of the 3DS game for a long time, so I have a few questions on a lot of things I forgot: 1: So, is there any point to worrying about your 3DS being banned anymore? Is there anything to ban? Can it still effect your account on your other systems like the Switch if your 3DS gets banned...

    Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

    Is it possible to dump your carts without installing anything on your Switch? Like using the fusee exploit to run hekate or some other application to dump the games but otherwise not in any way "hacking" the switch with CFW or emunand or anything like that? I have already used to dump a backup...

    PS2 - Any ill effects to using maximum ZSO compression level on ziso.exe? Can it do batches?

    I was using the frontend/GUI PSXiSO but it's a bit... broken (guess that's why it is listed as beta) but it's just a frontend for several CLI-based compression tools, and they look simple enough to use manually (especially with that GUI being a bit messy to deal with). However, I noticed that...

    What options do I have for my hard-modded PS2 going forward?

    I still have my old V9/V10 PS2 from back in the day that was hard-modded with an Matrix Infinity chip. I know it was an official chip and not a bootleg, and that I used to check vigorously for firmware updates for it back in the day. I don't remember what firmware version it was on now but it...

    VERY out of the loop, trying to backup/upgrade my old PS2

    I haven't gotten around to updating the homebrew on my PS2, I thought the modern replacements for PS2 HDD loaders no longer needed the drive in a special format?
