does nxshop also provide games updates?
NXShop no longer works.

Hi guys,

Its the first time i want to updated my hack switch and i try to find a step by step to updated my hack switch from 8..0 to 9.0.

I have a modchip inside my switch so i dont need to do th jig part.

First i have to update my switch to 9.0 in normal mode ?
After that i have to update my custom firmware in custom firmware mode ???

Do i have to use All-in-One CFW Package to do my update ??

Sorry for all those question like i said its the first time i have to updated my switch.

At this moment my switch is on plane mode to not get banned but if i want to updated to 9.0 i have to go to my wi-fi to updated my officiel firmware ??

Sorry for all those question.
Generally, people with a hacked console accept the fact they risk a ban so you should accept that risk too. There will never be a safe way to hack the console and not risk a ban.

Anyways, generally you update your CFW before you update your firmware. Updating CFW is easy as all you do is update and replace the files on your SD card. As for updating your firmware, if you wish to stay offline, you can use the homebrew application ChoiDujourNX to update your firmware.

really happy, ive just got an unpatched switch on 9.0 firmware....

sorry but where do i start? lol
Since you're already on firmware 9.0, you will have to use a CFW that supports firmware 9.0. While SX OS was recently updated to support firmware 9.0, it is definitely unstable not to mention paid for. I recommend setting up Atmosphere which you can do by following this guide
I am about to buy a switch that is not patched (According to some serial number check website). But it will have the latest updates from what i understand.

Will i still be able to run custom firmware on it? And if so, is there a guide that explains me how to do it?

Thanks!
Unpatched consoles are hacked via a hardware exploit. This means your software aka your firmware version will never stop you from being able to hack it. However the CFW needs to be updated in order to support that firmware and if it is already on the latest firmware, then you will need a CFW that supports that firmware. Currently, the only 2 CFW that supports firmware 9.0 which is the latest firmware version are SX OS and Atmosphere. SX OS is a CFW you have to pay for and you can do nearly everything on SX OS with Atmosphere. In order to setup Atmosphere, I recommend following this guide

many thanks. Once i have installed atmosphere, is there a way to load it without having to put the jig in each time?

i know sx os is paid for, but would this be the easiest way and also make it easier for the kids

You do not install Atmosphere or any CFW for that matter including SX OS. You can enable AutoRCM to remove the need for a jig but you need to send a payload every time you turn off the console. Installing a modchip can automate this process but I get the feeling you do not have the skill to perform this. Please do remember that sleep mode exists though.

Could someone please point me to a guide to dump the eshop games I already own on the OFW to the emunand?
I just want to use cheat codes and save editing on the games I already own.

Got SX Installer but it doesn't detect any games and their support forum is kinda useless.

Everytime I switch from sysMMC to emuMMC (or vice versa) I have to resync my left joycon. Why?
This is an issue of how sysMMC and emuMMC are treated as different systems. I'm not even sure if there is a potential workaround.

You have multiple options ranging but not limited to SD to NSP Dumper, Goldleaf, and nxdumptool.

Yes as long as you have a clean eMMC raw GPP/eMMC SYS

Try not to follow video guides as they are horribly outdated and usually written by people how have no idea what they are actually doing. I personally use Aluminum Foil so you should give it a try as well.

Hello guys. I've recently been toying around with my switch and hit a roadblock. More like ive got a black screen problem. I was in the hb store and saw the atmosphere and kosmos updaters and thought it was a good idea to get them and use them. Even though ive done this before on 3ds with luma a few times and got screwed; I must have forgot not to trust updaters. Anyways I can only boot up to Hekate menu and when I launch it reaches the sept by atmosphere logo and then totally black screens/shuts off. I've tried replacing the atmosphere and kosmos files but that didn't work, so now I'm lost. Using eFAT if that matters, any help would be appreciated, hoping its an easy fix.

Thanks, Draxzelex!

I installed the libusbk driver with zadig, but i still don't have any USB Installations option in Goldleaf.

Aluminum Foil seems to be made for Tinfoil which never works on my switch since i always get the message "the installation enviroment is corrupted. please redownload the zip and extract it into the root of your sdcard" (if i do that my atomsphere won't boot no more).
