    Accidentally restored BOOT0/1 to SYS instead of EMUMMC

    Can I ask if this is a problem - ie that it might affect my use of SYSNAND in any way? What are my options if so? Or are BOOT0/1 unchanging - ie there is no problem as long as I have restored my backups?

    Does anyone in the UK install modchips for the Switch Lite?

    As per question. If not allowed, please delete this for me with apologies. I have some experience on my own, but I am kind of afraid of doing it myself.

    Hardware Question about swapping PS5 external hard drives

    First of all, I know that you can only have one external hard drive active at any one time. This is clear and consistent with PS4. However, on PS4 there is an option under Settings -> Devices -> USB Storage Devices that allows you to 'choose' from an external hard drive connected to the PS4...

    Hacking Using an SSD, or SSHD vs an HDD with USB Loader GX / Nintendont: Any benefits?

    So, I just want to ask a question that I have not been able to find information on elsewhere. I know that the Wii USB interface is 2.0 which limits speeds at 25-30 MB/s write and 30-40 MB/s read. Obviously any kind of SSD (or even SSHD, when it uses the NAND cache/flash part) will be...

    Hacking Question Partial Brick / Error 2001-0114 / No WiFi Network Can Be Detected

    Some months ago I purchased a Nintendo Switch "as is" from someone online who wouldn't tell me what was 'wrong' with the system or how it came to happen that the device is no longer working. I was simply told that it is stuck on the Switch logo. Since it was a launch (unpatched) unit, I decided...

    Hacking Possible brick? Swith only displays boot logo then turns of. Hekate loads fine

    So, I bought this second hand Switch which the previous owner was very hush-hush about what he did to. All he said was that it had a "defect" and was sold "as-is" in broken condition. I was expecting a device with a hardware fault, but it functions perfectly fine.... except that the OS won't...

    Hardware Does anyone else's touchscreen look like this? Weird looking touchscreen on V1 unit.

    I got a new Switch tablet (V1, Unpatched) on my hands, and I swear that it has what looks like a screen protector on top of the touchscreen. The first photo shows how it looks up close. The second photo compares it to another V1, Unpatched Switch to show the difference. Yet, it seems...

    Hardware How can I upgrade from 64GB to 128GB with my current data and configuration (using Luma)

    How can I upgrade from 64GB to 128GB with my current data and configuration (using Luma)? Is it as simple as cloning the SD and using a partition manager to extend the partition size? Or is there a recommended way to do this? I want to make sure all my current data, games (including official...

    Hardware Nintendo Switch White Screen or Error Screen When Launching Any Title

    Hi there, I bought a second-hand "faulty" Nintendo Switch which seems to be moddable (unpatched) but otherwise runs Nintendo stock software. I do not know if it was ever modded or had custom firmware installed on it. The device seems to work perfectly: screen, sound, controls, WiFi, all work...

    Gaming Fire Emblem Fates Limited Edition DLC problem

    I have a EUR 3DS (Launch/First Gen Model) and I run the latest Luma. I have FE Fates LE installed, I believe it is probably the US version + DLC. The game plays fine and can play any of the three campaigns. But the DLC seems broken. If I try to use the Outrealm on the Map, I get an error that...

    Hardware Dual SDs: What happens if I delete software from the wrong card?

    Okay, I have a Switch with two SD cards, with different games installed in each of them. I accidentally deleted a game from one card without realising that it had a cloud icon - meaning it was actually stored on the other card. What will happen once I put the other card back in, the one that...

    Hacking Getting an outdated (hacked 4.2 Wii) up to par with the latest stuff

    I have a Wii (PAL/EUR) on 4.2 with probably very outdated versions of Homebrew Loader/Channel; USB GX; cIOS etc. I want to get the system up to spec. However, I only found guides on hacking the Wii from scratch. Mine has Priiloader on, and other stuff already. Do I have to update to 4.3 and...

    Homebrew Question about FBI and Game Updates (can we blend game serials)?

    Hello everyone. I have a very specific question. I know that CTR-P is a game title; CTR-M is an update; and CTR-U is a patch/update for a game. I also understand that one should not mix updates or DLC from different regions (ie use USA updates and DLC for USA CTR-P content). However, Fire...

    Hardware Do 3DS games use the SD for storage?

    Okay, this is probably a stupid question, but what does the 3DS use the SD card for? To explain better, I have a 32GB card that is almost filled to the brim. It has installed titles, updates and DLC, some Virtual Console games, etc. I have about 50MB of spare space left. I know that DS...

    Hi, I have a 3DS I am trying to restore, the original model. While it is easy to find replacement parts for the New /XL/LL and 2DS systems, it is excruciatingly difficult to find parts for the original 3DS (first-gen). Mine is Ice White and Ideally I would like to keep it that way, but if...

    Hacking Help Understanding the Nintendo/Contents/registered SD folder

    I have a very specific question. I have two SD cards; one is 256GB and the other is 512GB. The 512GB card was produced by making an identical bit for bit image of the 256GB card and then transporting this image file onto the 512GB card. A partition manager was used to then resize it to make use...
