**** failed to lunch firmware for me...**** ok now my mistake

i use layared files without problems ...
i picked up the last plague_crash_fix.zip

continious listing files, don't work for me (too much roms ?)

yep it doesn't work well with too many roms
waiting for the next release

great job btw NermaN! very useful mod especially with the latest fix
npdm patching saves a lot of time

This is first release of my poorly written mod.

It allows to easy choose donor game and target backup. I wish it work without reboot, but fs_mitm seems to be not stable enough for handling it right now, probably you still will need to reboot your switch after changing backup using included app.

It consists of:

1) Modified loader.kip - replace one that you use now
2) Modified fs_mitm.kip - replace one that you use now
3) mod_plague.nro - put it in /switch folder, for launching later with hbloader.

Now you should put your backups into /backups folder on your sdcard, path should be something like "/backups/minecraft/exefs/main.npdm" for npdm file. It also handles main.npdm patching for you.

Future plans:

1) Try to patch fs_mitm for better save / game compatibility, fix crashes.

As I said this stuff right now is poorly written and not tested, you should read already written guides for setting up layeredfs.
Is it possible to load the backups within the Nand ?, or USB port of the Dock?

I'm in 5.0.1
recommend updating to 5.1.0, for this method ? thx

as far as i know (and from what i've read so far), you don't burn any fuses when moving from 5.0.1 to 5.1.0
and no advantage of staying @ 5.0.1 either... so its recommended to move to 5.1 if you are on 5.0.1
(@anyone, correct me if i'm wrong)

what exactly does the restart fix do?

From what i read and understand:

Before Fix: RCM mode > RomFS > Run Plague App > Set games/donor > Restart into RCM Mode > RomFS > run game
After Fix: RCM Mode > RomFS > Run Plague App > Set games/donor > run game

You basically dont have to restart your switch after setting games to run the game

Is it possible to load the backups within the Nand ?, or USB port of the Dock?

MicroSD support only so far

How are you doing it? Maybe I am doing it wrong... ;)

I can switch games and also open homebrew sw, this works great now! But if try to start the new selected game I am stuck in a black screen with "Licensed by Nintendo" on the top left and "NINTENDO SWITCH" on the bottom right. I tried with and without closing the running game, also changing from one donor to another but I am always stuck in the black screen. If I reboot everything works like before. My Switch is running 5.0.0

zelda and odyssey are my donor games :D The Backups are on the pic below

Could be a bad rom dump (if you’re not using your own backs ups ✨) or something got messed up during the conversion to Romfs

I had this problem myself until I cleared my memery card and re-edited all games and put them back on the card. This may not have been the actual solution but I did it just in case.

You can also try using a different payload and different Hekate/LayerFS files for the memory card

a simple idea, if you continue working on it.
on a sxos lot of titles don't work because they are not really on the machine, but this app list all of them and don't work if it's too much titles. is it possible to just show the app/demos really on the machine or if the app can't see the difference using a ini file with just the title ids wanted to be used as donors.

beside this nice job !

can you mod it one more time with latest changes ? it should now fix Zelda: BotW ! yay
I compiled the latest Atmosphere commit (83c9747) with the plague modifications, tested BotW on 5.1.0, working fine!

Tested using Super Mario Odyssey donor on 5.1.0:
BotW: works, saves
ARMS: error on start
Mario Kart 8: error on start
