So if I am booting up Atmosphere using the Hekate payload then I would NOT want to use the Sweet Patches, correct?
Correct.
So I have my Switch in RCM mode with SXOS and it has been docked for 3-4 weeks. Dock still has power, I checked that first, but my Switch battery drained to nothing.

I'm not sure if I should be shutting the Switch off (hold power for 15 seconds) completely before docking it? I am 99.9% sure I just put it in sleep mode before docking it. What am I missing?
If your Switch is in RCM for extended periods of time and it has AutoRCM enabled, the console will not be able to charge normally and the battery will die. Also docking the Switch with AutoRCM will leave the console in RCM which will lead to the previously mentioned issue. Lastly, "RCM mode" is redundant because you are literally saying Recovery Mode Mode. You don't say PIN Number, HIV Virus, or ATM Machine do you?

Thanks for the confirmation. My Switch got enough charge to boot while I was waiting for reply so it's all good!

As for the correct way to say this or that, point taken. Good to see that man-splaining is still as strong and alive as it was when I joined here in 2003. :P

After sending hekate's payload, I can't find any items such as CFW in Lanch. Nothing is displayed. The switch version is 9.2.0. When you select fusee-primary.bin from the menu Payloads, it stops at the black screen after the logo of atmosphere is displayed. How can I start CFW?

So, I've updated my switch many times since my nand backup. I don't know if I used autorcm since then, my questions are:
1 - I use atmosphere in sysnand now, there's some app that show me the number of burnt fuses?
2 - I saw some posts saying that's possible to restore a nand and therefore downgrade with burnt fuses using hekate to bypass fuse-count, if I do that, how would I update to match the burnt fuses without getting banned?
3 - If it's possible and successfull, would I be able to use OFW normally without getting banned and install emmunand?

Hi I tried using Goldleaf to put my Animal Crossing Horizons save file from my SysNand to EmuNand on SXOS like how I did it to move my save file from my EmuNand to SysNand, but after trying to launch ACNH, it gave me an error code 2002-6400, and restarting won't let me boot into SXOS EmuNand anymore, it'll show the Nintendo and Switch logos, but right after the Switch logo, the error code 2002-6400 pops up again. Is there a way to fix this or get around this?

Hello

I am planning to buy a nintendo Switch brand new soon. I want it new to get the unboxing experience.

my question:
Is it fine to hack the switch right out of the box or it will require some set up.

can I set up the switch offline or am I required to be online for the first time. I assume that if i first turn on my switch it will update to the latest firmware.

Do I need to make a nintendo account at all to create the hack.

can every switch up till now be hack and should i buy the white box or red box if the choice will s available.

thanks

Apologies in advance if answers are already provided/obvious. I did do research but I ended up more confused due to the amount of information thrown instead.

My friend modded my switch for me so I don't have much knowledge yet.

Current firmware: 7.0.1 with ReinX

I want to update to the latest firmware, 9.2.0. How do I go about doing so? I've been told not to "uninstall" ReinX (not like I even know how - will be doing more research) and update it but I don't see the harm in it.

I've also been told that I should switch to atmosphere CFW because it's compatible on the latest firmware?

Links I've looked at:
https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/releases/tag/0.10.5
https://switch.homebrew.guide/comparingcfws (to compare CFW's but don't know how updated it is)

I have a first generation switch - definitely moddable, if that helps.

What is the best free cfw right now that also plays nsp? (i also like to use tinfoil if it doesnt give problems)

I am relatively new the switch modding scene but if you follow the Noob Guide it leads you to install the Atmosphere/Kosmos package which will come with an app called Goldleaf that installs nsp's, I think its the upgrade from tinfoil. You can also check off tinfoil when you are selecting your package if you would like to use it also.

Someone recommended Awoo (a backup installer like tinfoil) and it will install all game formats (xci, nsp, nsz, etc). I am pretty happy with it. I use it with NX_USBLoader (PC side game installer).

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Maybe someone can help me with this, I am trying to dump my eshop Bayonetta game using NXDumpTool and there is an option to remove console specific data and generate a ticketless dump... should I use those options?

Had to get a new sd card. Didn't delete the old one. I want to take my mario odyssey save from the old one to the new one. I did not use checkpoint when using the old sd card.

  1. Only Hekate can show the number of burnt fuses
  2. You would have to update the firmware offline such as with a cartridge or another Switch console
  3. Only if you can update to a firmware offline matching the number of fuses currently burnt

Only certain Switch consoles can be hacked namely the old ones, not the ones in the red boxes. You can check the serial number here.

You can setup the console offline but you do not have to update to the latest firmware except for linking a Nintendo Account which is also not required for hacking.
Hey, is there a tool or app that lets you create your own custom themes, like the one for the 3DS?

Use the homebrew application ChoiDujourNX to update your firmware to whatever firmware you give the tool. To "uninstall" ReiNX, you delete the ReiNX and sept folders on your SD card. Setting up Atmosphere is as simple as putting the Atmosphere files & folders on your SD card.

If you want to but you do not have to.

    I just been playing offline, and they give you a few bots here n there on your team to help battle. I don't think it's as funny as the other games tho, more battle oriented than humor, which kinda sucks, but I'm still early in it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, doesnt the game have a campaign mode?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, and co-op, but you can also start a pvp session and battle just with friends. You get special skill cards (powers) the more you play. And higher value cards, but you can only enable so many cards at a time.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

    Toilet paper is considered the money, you collect and buy stuff with TP, kinda funny. Graphics are def better than the other games tho, I think they used Unity 5 engine.
