Yes I am. Using the latest official release boot not the beta version.
You have to use the latest beta release. The latest official release does not support the latest firmware.

My switch is already modded but im in stock mode, is there a nro file i can download to reboot it into rcm mode?
There is no need to reboot into RCM because all CFW support rebooting into a payload. Also you have to be in CFW to use this feature as rebooting into a payload only enabled via hacking aka CFW.

It's alive! For some reason the update made my switch not able to read exfat SD cards. Good thing I didn't delete anything I needed. Question, where is the games save data? Is it on the system? Or is it in the Nintendo folder contents?

Save data is stored within the console.

Ok thank you.
When I look at the systems fw it doesn't say anything. And trying to install 9.1.0 with ChoiDujourNX but I get this error when trying to install it. Does my sd card need to be exfat to install it?

You cannot reinstall the exFAT version of the firmware you are currently on. Just use FAT32 instead as it cannot corrupt your SD card unlike exFAT.

Oh, well o didn't install it yet. I tried. I guess I'll try installing the exfat fw of the latest version I had on my SD card before it got screwed up.

How do I fix retroarch? I did have the nps installed and was using it some time ago but haven't used it in a while and now I can't load/run retroarch even after I deleted the nps/ data.

Only on firmware version below 5.0 or if you have AutoRCM enabled.

Make sure you are launching the homebrew menu by holding R over a game.

You're asking the impossible. The exploit requires your console to be in RCM in order to send a payload. If you do not have AutoRCM, then you need a jig to enter RCM.

When i put games in a folder on my sdcard while it's in my pc and then the sdcard back into my switch and boot it into atmosphere there is no games to install with tinfoil....the games vanish(regardless of format like xci or nsp) and so I take the sdcard out and put in back in my pc and sure enough the games are GONE no matter what I title the folder I am putting them into and the folder remains but it's empty.

I have no idea what I am doing wrong with my switch? The firmware of my switch is 9.0.1 and the sdcard is 256 GB formatted to exFAT if any of that matters.


Soft modding my Wii was way easier than this.

Help or ideas from anyone would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all, I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place but hoping someone can help me. I am using atmosphere with hekate and wondered if anyone knows how to join promoted den raid battles? I assume the listings haven't updated since I dare not go online to update wild area and can't seem to see the stamp on my hacked switch of my promoted den on my unhacked switch. Any ideas?

Not sure if this has been answered or not, but I have my switch running atmosphere off the sd card. I was wondering if I would still be able to use the eshop to buy/redeem games?
