Swap Switch Contents (V1 and V2)

jon10110 · May 30, 2023

Good Evening,
Is it possible to swap ALL data from one switch to another? The short version is that I have 2 Switches, A V1 with Trinket and a V2 With Picofly, same OFW and CFW versions. Both work but I want to swap all games, files, and data from the V2 to the V1 and from the V2 to the V1. The reasoning is because I have found the V2 to have some restrictions with compatible homebrew and with Android installation (some dont work with Mariko for reasons unknown to me). I have extensive NAND (Clean and Current w/cfw) and SD card backups for both. Thanks in advance for any info you can provide.

Homebrew stuff that lives in /switch folder, can transfer easy (make sure any configuration for stuff like sys-clk that might need to change for different systems is changed). Random files and ROMs etc, sure.
Installed Switch games, probably not - manually decrypting and re-encrypting the installed files and then making sure the ticket etc are installed on the system is likely to be more work than just reinstalling the games normally.

Any partitioning setup for Android or Linux can be reused, but you might need to install a different build of each.

Forgot to say if you have emummc, that definitely won't transfer, but again you can reuse the partition for a fresh one.
