Once again, thank you so very much for helping me through all of this, you're awesome! :D :bow:

You're welcome, I'm glad I was able to help you! Lots of things can go wrong in other people's CFW setups, mainly because there's too many different ways you can use your Switch. My only advice is to keep it simple and keep it clean and you should be good to go. Only a couple of times I've run into issues and one of them was dying SD card, while the other was hekate's Erista model boot bug or something (i.e. something that I couldn't control). The rest of the issues were already solved by someone else in the past and I guess I was lucky. :D Cheers, mate.
 
I'm on FW 20.1.5. I've seen a few games such as FireRed and the new Scott Pilgrim not running at all without HOS 21. There's a new Rhythm Heaven game coming in the future and I plan on playing that. Also, I'm aware Atmosphere is no longer in development.

I wonder if I should update to HOS 21 already just in case. Ever since I got my used Switch Lite "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" has been my motto, and that took quite some restraint since I like to tinker things a lot! Also, my bro got a Switch 2 and he got some games which I could play online on my SysNand such as Animal Crossing or Splatoon 3, but I'll need to update for that.

Should I update it already? I fear for a new, sudden update which could break things even further. Also, how should I update it? Do I really need to use Daybreak instead of simply making a System Update when on my SysNand? If so, why?
 
I'm having an issue with copying and pasting an nsp file onto my SD card. It says "The file (nsp's name" is too large for the destination file system". The nsp is 7.43gb, and I've got 40gb free on my sd card. Is this a common issue with Switch sd cards, or is it a Windows 11 thing?

FAT32 formatted SD card?

If done correctly it might just be that the game update it is trying to nag you about is higher than your current firmware, I mean you can update to 21.2.0 fine,

In Impezza guide it does explain how to setup exosphere and DNS MiTM but it seem like you done it correctly.

Why do people recommend using the Russian version of DBI? Is the English version not being updated? I mean, I installed it but all I can do is install games with it because I can't read anything else.

Hey! Just to be sure: we do this before, or after the firmware update?

impeeza, thank you for everything.
Just to make sure: do we extract this 2 files (NX-OVLLoader and UltraHand) to the console, before or after the firmware update?

Any time, but it is better to upgrade all software before update the firmware in order to be sure everything is working fine

The author apparently intentionally made that if the DBI app is tampered with (i.e. by getting unofficial translations) it'll gradually or randomly stop working. I'm not sure but if you run any unofficial DBI versions on your console, your console gets flagged regardless and even the official one gets affected. Check the release info here.

The only reason I personally keep recommending it because it's probably the best title installer on the Switch. The other installers have issues from time to time but I've never run into one with DBI.

Yes. I hope that it isn't dying.

Well, 4GB is the max file size FAT32 SD card can store, therefore 7.43GB is too big for it. I personally use DBI to install games to my Switch by connecting it to the PC and adding files to the dbibackend. This video shows off how I personally use it. I suggest using the latest Russian version of the app as unofficial translations may lead to unexpected errors. If Russian language is a problem, you can try sphaira, Goldleaf or Tinwoo Installer and see if those work better for you.

So I installed a pico on 21.1.0 atmosphere-1.10.2, and Hekate works fine, glitching works, emummc loads fine but when starting (any) homebrew like DBI (the latest russian version) i get a 2169-0002 error, it does show the screen for almost a second but then shows the 2169 error screen (applet mode) or a default error screen in non-applet mode, the same for goldleaf. I read it's a common thing, but is there a installer that will work? Or another solution?

Latest version DBI 878 works for me!
 
I'm having an issue booting my Nintendo Switch into Atmosphere. Let me start by saying there are times where I don't know what I'm doing with homebrew and sometimes do stupid stuff that makes my problems worse than they were originally.

I noticed by switch was having issues with Sigpatches or whatever they're using now because I couldn't use Tinfoil anymore at all. So I went looking but had a hard time finding where to get Sigpatches for the latest version, or even understanding how to get them to work allowing me to use Tinfoil.

In a real boneheaded move, I thought to try to downgrade to the 19.0.0 Firmware in hopes this will resolve the issue with Sigpatches.... Well... it didn't. Now I have a new problem. I can't seem to boot into Atmosphere. In fact it gets stuck on the Nintendo Switch Logo upon Boot Up. If I could boot into Atmosphere, I could use Daybreak To Upgrade the Firmware back to the latest version and tackle the problem from there.

So can anyone give me some advice how I can fix this issue?
 
Hi.

I used FuryBaguette's Switch Layout Editor. I did everything as It was told in the tutorial, then used the edited layout to create a theme. On my modded Switch 1 the blue line that surrounds the game icon refuses to move the next game, when I use the joy-stick or d-pad. What can I do to make It work? Please help!
 
I'm debating weather or not to get my oled switch modded. Is it worth it to overclock the CPU/GPU/RAM to get a better framerate in games? Are there any risks to the console if I overclock it?
 
Hi, I upgraded my switch atmosphere 1.10.2, hekate 6.5.1, firmware 21.0.0 but i can't downloading any game(ex. tinfoil,tinwoo,dbı). If I try to download get error messages. Sys-patch(1.5.9-f407d0d) don't starting on sysmodules(1.4.7) and no_erpt , ctest20.0.0+ unpatched. Can anybody help? I really want to play animal crossing but can't download.
 
I must be missing something obvious but ever since upgrading atmosphere and the CFW to 21.2.0|AMS 1.10|E every game I try so start goes into a flashing "Please wait ...." loop until I press the Home button.

This only happens when the Switch is connected to the internet either via WiFi or hard wired connection.

Anyone got any ideas as what obvious thing I am missing??
