    Goldtree unresponsive

    Thank you for responding. You are right that it's not the drivers for Java that I installed! It's just that the application I used is called a driver updater, but it probably just updated Java to the latest version while it was going about updating other files. It's a Norton application, so part...

    Goldtree unresponsive

    Hi, I hacked my original Switch some time ago, and I last updated the files about a year ago. I wanted to install a new game on it; I normally do this using Goldtree. When I double-click on Quark.jar however nothing happens. It's like it doesn't even register. I suspect this may be because I...

    Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

    Thank you, this was helpful. I was able to update my emuMMC by dumping the firmware from my sysMMC. I have never booted CFW on my sysMMC, so I should be OK.

    Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

    Hi, I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I am about to updated my original Switch (which I've had on custom firmware for many years) to the latest firmware. I am aware that the latest official firmware is 19.0.1. However, when I searched for the firmware online (by googling...

    Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

    Hi, I've been away from the scene lately, but I'm now going to get more involved with my Switch. I need a bit of help in getting up and running again. I have a v1 Switch with Atmosphere installed. However it was last updated about 3 years ago so one of the first things I think I need to do is to...

    Hacking Save files lost after ARM11 crash

    Hi thanks for your help. I think something must have happened to my SD card, perhaps when I got the ARM11 error. Using your instructions I was able to go back to by 2019 backup and restore the save files from there. Unfortunately the save files in the 2021 backup seem to be useless. I have...

    Hacking Save files lost after ARM11 crash

    Hi, I stupidly updated the firmware of my Old N3DS XL last night and then it crashed on re boot with an ARM11 error. Looking through the forum this morning I figured that the problem was that I had an out of date Luma3DS file (last updated 2 years ago). So I downloaded the latest version of...

    Hacking What is Haxchi or CBHC? FAQs and info

    Yes, that has always confused me to be honest. It seemed to work that way when I originally installed it: as soon as the WiiU was powered on, it would go into the CHBC autobooting menu. But after a while I must have done something and it stopped doing that. Maybe it was choosing a game for...

    Hacking What is Haxchi or CBHC? FAQs and info

    Hi, That did the trick. Also, worth noting that I had to press the Home button exactly when the CHBC info appeared - if I pressed it before, it didn't recognise it. As the CHBC info is only on the screen for a couple of seconds you really have to jump on it :) I have no idea why I had an SD...

    Hacking What is Haxchi or CBHC? FAQs and info

    Hi, I do have an SD card instered and it does have the right files in it... but now that I remember, does it need to be formatted FAT32? I'll do that next as my card was NTFS formatted. Holding home didn't do anything (but maybe it's because of the card formatting issue). I'll look into...

    Hacking What is Haxchi or CBHC? FAQs and info

    Hi there, I installed CBHC about 3 or 4 years ago. I can't remember how to get back into the Homebrew channel to install new games. The WiiU basically just launches into CFW automatically or, from time to time, I just click on the HAXCHI icon on the gamepad (or alternatively the DS VC game that...

    Hacking Question Some games don't work after upgrade CFW

    Once after upgrading I noticed my NSPs that I had created from XCIs didn't work any more. I think I need to re-extract the keys and regenerate the NSP from the original XCI. Maybe that'll help.

    Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

    If it helps, I tried to do this last week and I had some hiccups but I (mostly) got there in the end. I summarised what I did here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/firmware-upgrade-problem-emummc-is-forced-but-not-enabled.567385/ I say that I "mostly" got there in the end because over the last...

    Hacking Question emuMMC is forced but not enabled | Update Kosmos 16.1

    I'm sorry to say I don't know much more than what I posted; it was a bit of trial and error for me as I'm not a real expert on these things. In fact I have just realised that some of my games do not work (but oddly, most do) after I upgraded. I've summed up my misadventures in this post in case...

    Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

    Many thanks, I will update the button configurations so they're back to what I'm used to. I'm now successfully on FW 10.0.4|AMS 0.12.01S. However I am still struggling to run the games so I would appreciate some advice on how I can get unstuck. I've posted the question in what I think is the...
