    Thanks for your help, looks like I have something to do tonight. I honestly just hadn't kept up with the scene for almost a year because I barely touch my Switch so I just wanted to get some clarification first.

    Hacking Question guide for updating firmware

    Thanks for your help so far, seems simple enough From what I understand the only advantage to not burning fuses is if a cold boot is found on an earlier version I can use it, is that correct?

    Hacking PSTV 3.65 QCMA not blocking updates

    Thank you both for your help, I managed to do it with the Vita Update Blocker which is an easier method, but since it's an EXE one should always be weary about downloading them unless it's a reliable source.

    Hacking Question Anybody bricked with the fake sx payload?

    Used game sales and piracy have the same effect on devs. On one hand a used game sale could lead to more new sales towards that dev, but so could downloading their game illegally and enjoying it. I don't feel piracy should be legal, but on the same note I very rarely sell my games strictly...

    Tutorial How to use LayeredFS for Backup Loading + What Games Work/Don't

    I will give that link a shot tomorrow. I'll have to get the main.npdm but thankfully it has a link too. While Octopath Traveller was the only game I really wanted to play I tried the Decrpyt XCI on an XCI of Super Mario Odyssey and it pulled the romfs.bin perfectly, however with the XCI I have...

    Tutorial How to use LayeredFS for Backup Loading + What Games Work/Don't

    I'm going to admit, I'm very new to Switch softmodding (although I've done Wii, Wii U, and 3DS). I have the keys.ini and Octopath Traveler XCI, but I believe I have to extract the FS files to use it with RomFS FW?

    Tutorial How to use LayeredFS for Backup Loading + What Games Work/Don't

    I've got to the final step, I have the keys.txt renamed to keys.ini and game.xci in the same folder as PRAGMAsLayeredFSKit-v1.4 and a folder named 010043500A17A000 but when I try to decrypt the XCI I get a Windows error See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT)...
