Unfortunately no. You have to be able to turn on and access the switch to install firmware.


Whenever you get your switch working or another one, make multiple backups. It's too important not to have nand backups. And never downgrade firmware.

Can I ask why are you downgrading your fw
Atm 10.2.0 is the sweet one to be on runs just about anything you can throw at it ?

Did you not use lock pick and backup your prod.keys

Is your card exfat or fat32? It sounds like your card might be exfat and then the switch won't boot if it's missing the exfat driver.

If you got a spare SDCard. Can you format it to fat32 with Guiformat. Then add Atmosphere to it? And see if your Switch boots.

my sdcard is exfat
Does it boot to ofw have you tried booting without sd card in the switch?

Edit
Did you have switch in rcm mode from 4.10 up 11.x.x
As it sounds to me like you burned the fuses if it was running on ofw 11.x.x

any error screens?
Thb dude it sounds like he was on ofw 11.x.x if so he's burned the fuses
That's the point of rcm mode no fuse burning
He needed to be in rcm mode from 4.x.x up to 11.x.x
So he could downgrade

Thank you, I do know that very well. That's why I'm trying to figure out what happens. Since booting and turning off isn't that is very normal.

    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow

    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I think Nvidia s future lays in AI GPU acceleration stuff if they can get that going it's going to be super interesting in the long term
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    AI assisted game creation might become a thing
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At least that's something I think would be pretty cool.

    Many TBs of assets and the programming of something like that is going to be tough but I think it's something we might see in 20 years maybe sooner
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Psionic Roshambo AI assisted game creation is kinda already here, there was recently that AI that can turn any 2D image into a fully modeled 3D object, it's not perfect, but it's a starting point, beats starting from zero

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    before that there was one to generate a fully modeled scene from a 2D image

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but most recently, there was one that actually generates a working unity scene with terrain and textures already set up that you can import right into unity, that's a huge time saver right there

    and using LLMs to generate NPC dialogue and even dynamically generated quests is something i'm sure is already happening

    will just take some time for games made using those things to be completed and released
