at the very least, whats the best thing i can do to minimize the chances and back out
If all you did was boot Atmosphere without doing anything (no homebrew, no piracy, etc.), then your odds of being banned are very low. If you want to use your system online, just power off the system and boot without an RCM payload like fusee-primary or Hekate. The files present on your SD card are irrelevant.

If you want to use CFW without being banned, you should create an emuMMC to use all hacks with. The emuMMC will be kept offline (or you will install Incognito to it) so nothing you do there can get you banned. You will use your clean sysMMC for online play.

I just got my CFW switch of eBay, Delivered yesterday. Everything was working fine. I got told all I need to do when and if I turn the switch off (Sometimes I do to get the SD card out to put stuff on) is put the RCM loader in, and press the power and volume up button.

Since messing around trying to get a SYSBOT to work, I now have to use the RCM on the pins in order to boot the CFW. Have I accidentally removed something or tampered something within the SD Card files? is it possible to get it back so all I have to do is press the Power and vol up again?

download and replace all your cfw files on your sd card

Example: if you were using atmosphere you would goto their github and download their latest release and copy it to your sd card overwriting any previous files

Hey everyone, i'm new to this forum and had a question about how LayeredFS works on Reinx I'm using the most recent version of it and i'm trying to get mods to work on it, at this point i've tried multiple methods to get different mods to work on it. I've tried placing the mods under /reinx/contents/(Title ID for smash) as was suggested by a user helped on another thread, but none of the mods were there when I started up the game, after this I tried Ultimate Mod Manager in which I dumped the data arc file and installed a couple of mods through there including some of the same mods I had previously attempted to install through LayeredFS as I understand it and still nothing. Is there a step I'm missing or am I not understanding how LayeredFS works in Reinx? (Also idk if I formatted this right, first post on here)

Thanks for the step by step, Lacius, I did see your post above but I wasn't sure if it was truncating/eliding over anything.

If you want to use CFW without being banned, you should create an emuMMC to use all hacks with. The emuMMC will be kept offline (or you will install Incognito to it) so nothing you do there can get you banned. You will use your clean sysMMC for online play.

This would come between steps 8 and 9, above, or else finish 9 in airplane mode and then do this MMC, right?

I don't know which steps of mine you're referring to. Before ever launching CFW on the sysMMC, an emuMMC should be created, and all CFW usage should be done with the emuMMC. It's recommended that you enable airplane mode on the sysMMC before making the emuMMC. Then, once you boot the emuMMC, you can install Incognito to the emuMMC.

An emuMMC is only needed if you plan on using online play on a clean sysMMC with legitimately purchased games (or if the Switch is on 4.1 and ipatched).

I'm having this issue: Trying to run hbmenu in applet mode from gallery while playing Crash Bandicoot crashes the Switch. For another (smaller) game, "A Short Hike", it doesn't crash.

  1. Make sure the SD card is FAT32.
If it's FAT32 I won't be able to fit backup images larger than 10GB. Also Windows 10 doesn't seem to offer it as a formatting option. Is exFAT going to work?

Ok so if I don't care about purchased games, I don't need an emuMMC.

What steps do I need to take to be able to play online, in addition to the 9 steps on page 1100?

You should never install an NSP file directly off the SD card. That's inefficient, and it wastes valuable SD space. Instead, you should install NSP files over a USB connection, FTP connection, or internet connection. A Tinfoil shop like HBG can download and install games/updates/DLC directly from the Switch over the internet like the eShop does.

Use guiformat to format a large SD card as FAT32. Windows won't let you.

You can't play online with pirated games. If you're not purchasing games, you're probably not playing online.

Wondering if anyone can help.

Im wanting to install SYSBOT. Im pretty sure I am running SXOS (That's what my RCM boots it into).

However - My SD card doesn't have any of the files for SXOS. I can't go on their website either as it is blocked. How can I go about getting this files for it to run correctly, and to get this correctly installed.

thanks.

Cool, thank you for all the info.

I bought a 400GB microsd so that I could fit all of my games on there, I guess I didn't need to do that?

Additionally I didn't buy a RCM tool, but after failing with a paperclip 10x I'm starting to worry about killing the Switch, so maybe I should.
