What do you think my ban risk will be if I connect online to update System FW? IS it safe to update games also?
On a 100% clean Sysnand there is zero risk. You can update FW, upgrade your GC, buy games, update games and play Online as long as you don’t put anything dirty on it.

Once you hack your switch you should create an emunand. Emunand is an exact but independent copy of Sysnand that should be kept offline using exosphere and dns:mitm. If you happen to put nsp, xci, cheats, etc on this version it will not get a ban because Emunand is kept offline.

This is the ideal state. It’s when people deviate from the ideal state that things can get tricky.

Atmosphere by itself will not get you banned according to SciresM himself. He and many of the Devs go online with their clean CFWs without issues. Folks that don’t run as clean as their team get in trouble when they do things on emunand under CFW and then do something silly like run that same CFW on their Sysnand and forget they had cheats or other bannable software running from their SDCard that is now connected to Jinty. The best way is to keep everything separated and you’ll have nothing to worry about.

E: once your Switch is hacked, there’s no reason to run a GC anymore unless you happen tomhave a GC than needs Online…so really edge case.

Thanks for the info... Do you think I should try updating fw through ninty means, disable airplane mode? I don't have an emunand. Also, would I still be able to use gc slot?

Have you hacked your Switch without making an Emunand?
If this is the case it would mean your Sysnand has all your dirt on it and this falls outside the ideal state described above.

Do you have a clean backup of your Sysnand prior to hacking?

I never made an emunand... I have a sysnand backup, but it is from long ago and not sure how clean it is...

If you don’t have a clean point in time copy of your Sysnand you are essentially self banned regardless. The only possible way would be to attempt to run Haku33 on your current Sysnand to completely wipe everything and rehack your Switch with an Emunand this time. You would have to hope you don’t get flagged with your cleaned up Sysnand but without a clean backup there aren’t any other options.

Do you think I can still update fw officially? I haven't went online since first hacked system. I still want to use gc slot.

No, not without cleaning you Sysnand with something like https://github.com/StarDustCFW/Haku33.

Your GC will update itself once you disable the safe guards for preventing GC firmware updates that @Hayato213 linked to above. Once you do that your GC will be enabled and it will automatically update.

If you want to use cartridge and cfw on the same nand you need to disable nogc

I do a full backup to a new SDCard every couple of weeks and then use the new card and out the old card into a rotation with several others. That way I have a couple iterations of backups. Probably a bit paranoid but that’s the insurance I buy myself.

Correct. AutoRCM “corrupts” your official bootloader by flipping a couple bits at the beginning causing the system to panic and boot into recovery mode. Just a creative, and yes convenient, way to force it into RCM instead of shorting out pins. You need a payload injector no matter what (unless you modchip it or put in a Trinket M0.)
Great. Thanks.

By the way, I was trying to contact you on the side but I can't seem to private message you. Are you on the GBATEMP discord or do you have any other way?

My discord is Ricetomeetyou#6238 if you could don't mind reaching out for one thing.

Can anyone help with loading atmosphere? Before that, there was SX OS firmware on Emunand. But in the homebrew menu, I accidentally pressed some button, and CFW did not start anymore. I farmed the SD card, updated the nintendo switch to version 15.0.1 and wanted install atmosphere but I get error Title ID 524850534F53454D. What should I do?
P.S. I have already reinstalled NAND from the donor, and the error does not disappear

Think the problem is the prodinfo since it is a from a donor nand

разве ты не написал это "Я уже переустановил NAND с донора"?
I wrote. I just don't have a console and I'm not very good with terminology. There is a donor NAND on the set-top box and my dad substitutes the keys for his native NAND so that the set-top box just starts up. I'll try to explain in more detail in the morning if you'd like. Sorry if I wrote something stupid somewhere

It count as donor if you used someone else key.

No worries. Glad it was helpful.

Last time I went private messaging with somebody I woke up drunk playing that knife game on a wooden picnic table with a one eyed American Indian dude. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. We’re among friends here so go ahead and fire away.

There seems to be an issue with this: https://github.com/HamletDuFromage/aio-switch-updater/issues/100

Try with this one and see if you get the same error: https://github.com/tomvita/Breeze-Beta
Thanks for the link!

Breeze seems to run without any errors, but I'm not sure how to get it to load cheats.

I've downloaded the cheat database and the app updates:

PXL_20221130_023503754.jpg


Then I've started a game, hit home, then album, then Breeze:
PXL_20221130_023259965.jpg

PXL_20221130_023513741.jpg


I've tried with Diablo III and Pokemon Violet and both games show no cheats available.

Trying to load cheats from file throws this error:

Alright then. I wanted to say that I've never met an online stranger more willing and more patient to walk me through an issue than you have been. You are extremely knowledgeable and are literally a treasure to this site. I really appreciate helping me get back up and running. I just need to know how I could send you a little something (Venmo, Paypal) as a way of thanking you. Just gifting you more Patron isn't enough for me.

titles…what the deuce? That’s for SXOS.

Since you’re running AMS we need contents.

Somehow you ended up looking for cheats in the SXOS folder structure. We need to change a setting somewhere. I’m downloading a 6G file to test something else…as soon as it’s done I’ll check, in the mean time see if yiu set something funky somewhere when you started up Breeze and I’ll check back with you in a bit.

I can do that too, but at least let me buy you a coffee. I've seen you respond all times of the day and night so I know you could use it 🙂
