Thanks.

Im not really feeling about buying a new SD card. According to the guide you need a 128GB for emuMMC...
Not sure if 64GB can, 32GB will be occupied of NAND?

128GB would be bare minimum, on principle I don't recommend under 512gb. Maybe you're cool with constantly moving stuff around, doesn't work for me.

It's started taking a really long time to install games—does anyone know what the problem might be?
It takes about 40 minutes to install a 15 GB game on DBI.
 
I am new to the switch modding community, I have a patched v1 picofly running Hats. Are there any discord groups I could join to keep learning the hobby?

Homebrew Tutorial  Thread 'Ultimate guide to upgrade your firmware/Atmosphère'

ONLY UPDATE YOUR CONSOLE TO 2x.x.x IF ALL THE HOMEBREW YOU USE IS UPGRADED




Sometimes you need to upgrade your console, upgrade the firmware or upgrade Atmosphère, using the @l7777 's guide (https://gbatemp.net/threads/updating-hekate-atmosphere-and-hos.631739/) as base I hope to create a list of necessary steps to successful upgrade your console.

This guide uses Hekate, if you don't want to use Hekate skip the steps about it. You may loose some features.

Yikes, so it's now more risky/complicated than it was before? 😬

Not sure if this the right place to post this but I am trying to run The Last Remnant on Ryujinx. I am trying to use the Undub patch but nothing is working. The voices remain in English. Does anyone know what I can do?
 
Just got myself a Switch, with FW 22.5.0 installed and I have separate sys and emunands. It seems to be possible to downgrade the emunand to earlier HOS version, but are there expected or unexpacted pitfalls if I want to revert to 19-ish?

Also, if I do revert, are the already installed tings kept, or do I need to reinstall everything from scratch?
Post automatically merged:

Aaaaand to answer myself - the information was spread thin on the internets, but using old tuts etc. I did the following:
  • Installed 19.0.1 to the EmuMMC using Daybreak and in my case using the FAT32 only option and doing a clean slate install.
  • After the installation, before first boot into HOS I used the downgrade fixer tool (better be safe than sorry I guess).
  • On the first boot into HOS, I deleted the "user content" from SD - losing my saves and installed stuff. No biggie, reinstall won't take long and I had JKSV available just in case anyways.
Pros:
  • Lighter HOS (I personally don't need the more recent FW's for either S2 or game compatibility).
  • No need to either live with game update nags baked in the system or go through several hoops in order to remove them.
  • No user experience enhancements!
Cons:
  • Doing the downgrade loses all installed content, so better have backups (and JKSV) handy.
Apparently from now on, I can keep the Emu and SYS at separate versions, but have to track SYS version with Atmos, Hekate etc. Suits me, but probably not everyones cup of tea.

Got a few games that fail to start. I get a black screen with an exclamation mark in a square box and underneath that the text:
Could not start the software.
Please try again from the HOME Menu.

In this case it's The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero and The Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure that do so for me. I updated them to the latest versions, which should require firmware 22.5.0. My Switch runs firmware 22.5.0 along with the corresponding Atmosphere version, sigpatches, etc. As far as I can tell, the files are not corrupt at all; NxFileViewer reports their state is original.

Why does this error show up? And how can I fix it? Not just for these games, but in general if this shows up for any game.
