    Where do I find "BCT.ini" and then how do I "disable nogc"?

    Thanks. It appears to be working. After updating to new firmware though I can no longer load official game carts in the game card slot. I get an error message and am told to insert a card even though I have one in the slot (I’ve tried Zelda BotW and Mario Odyssey so far and same problem with...

    I am trying this now. Where do I get this files for step 7 and 8? I didn't hear an answer on whether or not I'd lose my existing games and save files following these steps? I have made a full SD card backup for now but still wondering. Thanks.

    Thanks for the answer on AutoRCM, that sounds nice to have rather than needing the dongle each time. I still have the question though about existing game backups and saves already in the card. Will the recommended steps wipe all that out or will it still be in place after (just with the...

    Thanks. I will try that tomorrow. I’m assuming this won’t modify or hurt my existing setup, backups or save files? I’ve got a lot on it that my kid would be pretty upset at if she lost all that progress and existing games. AutoRCM is what again?

    I haven’t updated my hacked switch for at least the last 6-9 months or so. I’m looking to play a backup of animal crossing (and maybe paper mario when I get a copy) and think I will need to update to play it? Is there a guide to update an already hacked switch? I use a dongle to inject the...

    Okay so it sounds like I have to do two things now. 1. Delete any games that I tried to load since I f**d those up by launching them. Deleted from Switch settings rather than any homebrew app. 2. Backup SD card contents 3. Reformat my SD to fat32 (rather than exfat like it was prior) 4. Copy...

    Update: I used the second guide with Kosmos package that didn't require any extra SD partition work or losing 30 GB. It's working now which is great but I'm trying to launch some previously installed NSP's that were on internal storage and getting an error that the app could not load. I'm...

    Okay I’m doing more self research and found two guides. I think it’s probably a step I missed. One says something about creating a second partition but I’d prefer not to lose 30GB and I didn’t need that in on my old ReinX setup...

    I am currently on 8.1 and decided to upgrade to the latest hekate and atmosphere (previously on ReinX). So I went through the tutorials to get my payload injector up to date (5.0.2). I can get into RCM and press vol- to get to the loader screen. However when I try to load either cfw emummc or...

    I am running 8.1 on my switch and had previously been using ReinX and decided to switch over to Atmosphere. I've copied over all the latest files to my SD and removed the ReinX ones (at least I think I have). Now when I go to launch games I get an error "Unable to start software. Return to HOME...

    Thanks for the reply! So do I have to upgrade then to play the latest stuff or will 7.1 suffice?

    Hello and thanks in advance for any help! I am wanting to get my Switch up to the latest (safe) version of FW so I can play the latest NSP’s (Mario Maker 2, Dragon Quest Builders 2, Cadence of Hyrule, Marvel 3, etc.). I am currently on 7.1 with 1.1 of ReiNX. 1. Do I need to upgrade anything...

    When installing nsp via tinfoil, I have about 10 nsp's I want to install all at once using the "Install All" option. Is this okay if 4 of them are game updates? Or should I do the games first then the updates (same question for nsp DLC if I ever do any). Thanks!

    When installing NSP's via tinfoil should I ignore the firmware version? Default is no, but I've been selecting yes. I’m On 5.1.

    Woo hoo, I love modding stuff. I've been doing it forever back to my first DOS PC days until now. I honestly don't care much about the games and I like to support the devs, we wouldn't have games without supporting them. I just enjoy the thrill of the chase and figuring it all out. It's the...

    Okay ya I just had a crap / old install of tinfoil. I tried the latest version, deleted my tinfoil folder. Installed the new version, launched tinfoil and the folders were created and all is working now. For update files, I just install them the same way as the main games right? I'm assuming I...

    Hacking How to access your Switch's eMMC or microSD card as an USB disk on your PC

    Hey there, this tool was recommended to me on this post in the newbie thread. I was planning on using 90DNS but the main reason wasn't for anything online or even for the homebrew store, but just to save me from having to eject and put the SD card back in every time I want to transfer files. FTP...

    So I tried another NSP file and tinfoil gave the same error. I think there is something wrong with my install. In the tinfoil folder the "folders" look like files and I can't go into them to see the nsp files inside of them. All the other folders are working as expected. Weird.

    1. Got it. I’ll try a different nsp and see what happens. So I don’t need any title id’s or anything? I.e. “Install FS sig patches”? All I need is tinfoil itself and the nsp in the right folder? No other missing steps right? 2. Got it. I’ll just leave AutoRCM off then in my use case. The jig is...
