So a fresh switch patched with using hekate - CTCaer mod v5.3.4 & Nyx v0.9.5 on emuMMC, upon installing Tinfoil for the first time it wouldn't appear on the home screen hand just had the loading egg timer where the artwork should be for tinfoil, i figured out i need the latest sigpatches!. I got the sigpatches from this thread

https://gbatemp.net/threads/sigpatches-for-atmosphere-hekate-fss0-fusee-secondary-only.571543/

i copied the files to the root of my SD card and overwrite any duplicate files. After this Tinfoil did then install correctly and was able to load but then i got a red warning screen say i need to remove Kosmo which i did and then Tinfoil worked fine.

But now when i load the hekate_ctcaer_5.3.3 payload and select the emuMMC nand to launch through Hakata i get a message saying....

Failed to apply 'nosigchk'

how do i fix this issue??

You cannot use Hekate and DZ together at the same time. Use another title installer such as Awoo Installer which has no such issues.

Thanks!

So to fix this issue i need to copy over the sigpatch files from the link i posted to my SD card again and remove tinfoil correct??

Is this conflict between the 2 bits of software something recent that happened then as i never had this issue before?

Also are you able to get access to 'shops' through Awoo???

Correct. Also this issue has been present for over a year so its nowhere near a recent development. And while you cannot use traditional shops with Awoo Installer, it does feature Google Drive support that is meant to be used with stashes such as the one from WarezNX.

Thats odd, i modded another switch the other week and didnt get this 'nosigchk' error after removing Kosmo via Tinfoil. I guess i added a file to the SD card that bypassed the error message

Yeah sadly WarezNX isnt taking invites anymore

Is there a convenient way to keep your games updated on a banned Switch?

Then its quite funny that I know about the invite situation

Aside from a second console, there is not.

Hi guys, i want to start using retroarch to play some old ps1 and n64 games.
Is there a beginner guide to install it and play on the switch?

Install RetroArch open it with non Applet Mode, make sure your games are on the SD and select install cores. Install all Emulators you want. Next select launch content, select the Game in the SD and then choose the Emulator you want. Thats all. I think Pause Menu is ZR+ZL.

Im running on Emummc.
Should i install nsp's only on sd card or can i install it on my internal storage too? (Is it save to install it on the internal storage?)

d0ctr · Nov 2, 2020

Hi everyone! I am at the point when I am thinking into restoring my hacked switch and I have found out that I didn't backup keys.prod, but I have prodinfo backup. So my question is can I restore my keys with this prodinfo backup?

Since emuMMC is separate from SysNAND, afaik you can both install to internal and sd card. Saves and games on EmuMMC don't affect sysNAND.

Biskeys which are used for manually restoring (not recommended)

to restore to clean you would need to find your clean nand backup and restore that.

prodinfo is a section of that nand and one used for a) brick recovery if you have it backed up and b) reversing incognito (either atmosphere or the app)

not quite sure if this is the right place for it please let me know or move if necessasary.

so i recently bought a switch witch cfw already on it and a rcm loader included. which was what i was looking for since i don´t know much about this. and when i casuallly looked at hacking a switch i found the whole process really confusing with google searches making me even more confused and often turning up contradictory advice. hence the pre hacked switch from ebay. the card is full with all kinds of stuff i´d say it´s littered with programs mostly also duplicates of tools. but no games
so i downloaded some games. starting sxos with the rcm loader was easy enough. but of the 20 games i tried only 2 of them worked. 15 said they were damaged and needed redownloading and only 2 actually made sense with their error message since they said something about updating the firmware. i´ve used hacked psps and vitas before so this made sense but of course i knew i couldn´t just update normally since this would destroy the hack. but when looking this up people said it´s not a problem as long as your cfw supports the firmware but other people said pretty much the opposite.
i´ve already updated sxos to the newest firmware (3.05) which should support the latest ofw 10.2.00
i already got the firmware but i´m hesitant to use it. the guide here says something about using ChoiDujour for that which happens to be already on the card but it also says to give it permission to write to bis (whatever that is) by placing a flag in my athmosphere folder so does this only work with atmosphere and not with sxos?
or can i just ignore this on sxos?
it also says somethign about auto rcm and ipatched consoles so what is a ipatched console? it clearly isn´t a patched console since those can´t be hacked i thought.
other guides talk about updating my emunand or sysnand or both with hekate no idea what that is or why that matters is this a hekate thing that can be ignored on sxos?
so do i need hekate or atmosphere or both for that?. other guides also strongly advice to back up my nand(s) / emummc before that by reading out the keys. which keys? and why does it matter?

I was following this guide to dump my sysnand to edit pokemon save.
https://gbatemp.net/threads/converting-emummc-partition-to-rawnand-bin.563961/
Since I already installed many games on my sd card, I don't have enough space to dump rawnand in 1 file, but 14. It seems like HacDiskMoun can only read single nand file. Is there any way to combine them together?

Lord M · Nov 4, 2020

So, on ebay i found both 2017 and 2019 version of Switch. Both are good or it all depends by the serials? (i will ask to the seller before buying, of course)

Yes, it is about serials but you can still hack the console if it is fw between 1.0.0-4.1.0 independent from the serial. Unpatched ones (ones you look with serial) doesn't need to be in a specific fw, it is hackable in any fw.
