Just a quick one really I've been running an emunand since getting my switch but I've never ever played online and have no intention of ever playing online so couldn't care less if my switch gets banned so I want to get the extra space for games and move my cfw to sysnand are there any guides for this and what changes do I need to make to the ipl txt file?

Also can I just copy my original folders across to my sysnand with all my nro's themes and bits into the sysnand minus the emunand folder?

You can install games on the emunand space by telling the game to install on “internal” storage. At best you’re going to save about 30 Gig which is really not that much. At this price point I’d recommend upgrading to a larger card to increase your cheap SDCard space and keep your options open in case you change your mind down the road.

All that said, if you still want to do it, here’s a thread where someone else did the same thing by simply “backing up” their emunand and restoring it using Hekate:

https://gbatemp.net/threads/migrating-emummc-to-sysnand.612706/

After that you just move you Nintendo folder and you’re good to go.

e: if you boot Sysnand w/ CFW it will of course pick up all your nro and themes From your SDCard.

I might be a bit confused over wording, but what is the source for tinfoil cheats? I noticed elsewhere it says cheatslips, but the cheat thread here says it can be updated through aioupdater (this is how I currently update the cheat database for tinfoil)

Am I already using the gbatemp cheat database and I just got confused? Or is there a way to change it if I’m not? The latest database number was 09022022, I believe, which is the same as gbatemp.

Am I already good here and just confused?

AIO Updater downloads the cheat files from GBATemp. You're already good here and just confused.

Hello everyone, do you know if we can have the same rom twice in Atmosphere by changing the ID/header/name/whatever the switch reads to differentiate roms?

Switch games are differentiated based upon their title ID. There are a few games that exist that have the same name but different title IDs which occur for games released in different regions so they will usually have their own updates and DLC to go with that region. There is no way to modify the title ID of a game.

What would happen if someone copied the game's installation folder in /Nintendo/Contents/whatever and just named it differently? Would the copied game not even appear in the Home Menu, or would it appear but not launch? Could it be uninstalled from the HOS data management menu? Ooh, what if you actually used a valid TitleID but from a completely different game as the new folder name? My money is on not even showing up.

I can test it myself in a few hours, but if anybody could spare me the trouble and the wait, I'd be very thankful.

What do I need to delete from my hekate ipl file now that I am using my system nand instead

Doesn't look like you have a sysnand setup only emuand and stock os

steverebo · Sep 24, 2022

That's my old ipl that has a lot of custom bits for overclocking the ram and blocking nintendo connection I want to make changes to this so it will work with my sys nand

I switched to a 1TB SD card and followed the guide on rentry. Everything seemed to be working as intended and exactly the same as on my old SD. So i queued up a few downloads in tinfoil and left it but when i came back it was sitting in hekate again, so i assumed it had crashed.
I tried launching the emummc a few times but it kept booting up my sysnand instead, with atmosphere active, so i checked the emummc window in hekate and it had somehow disabled itself. I only have 2 launch options, stock on my sysnand and atmosphere with my emummc, so it should never have launched my sysnand with atmosphere active.

It's been working since i activated it again a few days ago but i still have a few questions.

1. I was using a theme when it launched my atmosphere on my sysnand, could i get banned from that? I've heard it's even possible to get banned using custom profile pictures.

2. Is it possible to change my hekate ini to only launch my atmosphere with emummc, so if my emummc ever gets disabled again and i try launching it, it doesn't launch my sysnand with atmosphere active, like it did.

3. Why did my emummc disable itself? I'd rather fix whatever happened before my 1tb card is almost full and I'm forced to start over.

Any help on this is highly appreciated

Yes, you can get banned from any usage of CFW and/or homebrew
Well, you can set autoboot so whenever you launch Hekate, it will automatically boot one of your launch entries rather than having you go through the Hekate menu
It was probably the homebrew app you were using. That one has been notorious for giving users issues whether its spreading hate speech to maliciously deleting files, its considered to be one of the worst apps. I highly recommend switching to TinWoo Installer. Its what I personally use and I never have any issues while using it.

My money is that it won't work. The Nintendo folder is very sensitive to any changes. Just altering the Archive bit is enough to throw things for a loop.

2. Well, that wouldn't fix my problem. When i tried launching atmosphere on my emummc it instead launched atmosphere on my sysnand since the emummc had disabled itself, so having hekate launch it for me would just result in the same thing.
That's why i specifically asked if and how to edit the ini with the correct commands to stop it from reverting to launching the sysnand with atmosphere if the emummc happens to have been disabled

3. It could be tinfoil but i can't even find anyone who had their emummc disable itself, with or without tinfoil. I was looking for something more specific than a guess tbh

post your hekate ipl ini

whatever disabled it, it wasnt tinfoil.

if all you had was a theme running on syscfw, your like 99% fine ban wise. ppl have done worse for years in syscfw, including myself and been fine for 4yrs now.

Wait archive update or find working cheats for your version of game manually. Get Title ID and Build ID from Tesla Overlay
and paste cheats to txt. Cheats txt located sd:/atmosphere/contents/<title_id>/cheats/<build_id>.txt. Also you may try change just Build ID of txt. There were cases that it worked. Name of a game and version ?

if you really wanna learn how to update cheats Here you go, and Here to create new ones, but its fairly complicated, especially to someone new to cheats, albeit a useful skill to learn.

No tinfoil disabling the emummc did sounds like a stretch.

Ok, that's good to hear.

Here's the ini, it's the one they got in the rentry guide

Code:

[config]
autoboot=0
autoboot_list=0
bootwait=3
backlight=100
autohosoff=0
autonogc=1
updater2p=0
bootprotect=0

[Atmosphere CFW]
payload=bootloader/payloads/fusee.bin
icon=bootloader/res/icon_payload.bmp

[Stock SysNAND]
fss0=atmosphere/package3
stock=1
emummc_force_disable=1
icon=bootloader/res/icon_switch.bmp

Thank you for the resources! I tried the program to update cheats, some of them did not updated and the ones who did, did not worked in game
