    Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

    That was the most concise reply I could have hoped for. Thank you. Since then I’ve already bought an oled model so I’ll be heading over to AliExpress for a diy job and a 2 month delivery time. Nice to see a dongle is no longer required. I just need to catch up with the actual chip details now...

    Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

    Hi everyone. I haven’t spoken in here for a LONG time and I’ve recently moved house, where my son dropped my switch beyond repair. I have decided to buy a new one and realised how much the scene has changed since I CFW’d mine so I’m hoping some nice people in here can answer a few questions. I...

    Hacking Switch wont boot even to cfw

    I was literally seconds away from doing the same. Downgrading from 7.0 to 6.2 with ChoidujourNX. I've even selected and 'checked' the firmware in the program about to proceed. Let me know how you get on. EDIT: I done it anyway after seeing a reputable member said it would be fine. It was :)

    Hardware Trying to fix my Switch - please help

    UPDATED BELOW... Okay so I'm looking for some advice and I'll try to keep it brief. I was using Reinx as my cfw running 6.2.0 on my day one switch. Worked like a charm most of the time. I wasn't thinking straight one day and upgraded to 7.0.0. Switch would no longer boot, after a brief Reinx...

    Hacking Atmosphere-NX - Custom Firmware in development by SciresM

    I'm getting a black screen after the Atmosphere logo then the Nintendo logo... What could that be do you think? Before todays new release I had updated to 7.0 and had been getting a weird error about a Magic package... If that's relevant. Thanks

    Hacking NS-Atmosphere help after upgrade

    After hearing (reading) that Pokemon will need OS 6+ (I was currently on 5.1), I followed the instructions on the NS-Atmosphere website, using firmware 6.1. At the end of the instructions, the final one is to click the button to reboot. After doing that, the switch will no longer boot. If I try...

    Hacking Gateway stopped working/borrow blue card?

    I can't get to the gateway menu as far as I know. Didn't you need the blue card to access that? Edit: FIXED! Sorted it with a multiuploader app from zoogie near the end of the link you gave me at the top. It just made a new code.bin for me which worked a treat. Thanks again :D

    Hacking Gateway stopped working/borrow blue card?

    Yeah that's where I had it, just dumped it in there with the saves etc. Just thought I'd ask in case

    Hacking Gateway stopped working/borrow blue card?

    I thought that at first but I'm still on 4.4.0-10e auto Hang on, is it the root of the SD or the MicroSD in the red card that I should put that file?

    Hacking Gateway stopped working/borrow blue card?

    I tried that but my console doesn't seem to crash when I go to the webpage like everybody elses. It just says gateway is loading on a black screen but everything is still functional. I'm going to have a read through the whole thread now in case someone else had the same problem.

    Hacking Gateway stopped working/borrow blue card?

    My 4 year old son plays my 3ds more than me, mainly OoT or Mario 3d Land, and he drops it frequently. It's been unaffected so far but as of 2 days ago, when I go into the profile to activate gateway by clicking on 'Nintendo ds profile', it just gives me the official options you would normally...

    Hacking Where to get a firmware 4.5 or below 3DS XL?

    How did you get on mate? Mine worked like a treat. Setting it up was much simpler actually doing it than it sounded reading the instructions! Now I just need to figure out a way to get my save game data off my old 3ds onto my new xl gateway 3ds... hmmm

    That's that cleared up then, I'll use the same one. Just need to get home and find my card reader now!

    Hacking Where to get a firmware 4.5 or below 3DS XL?

    Ahh, that came ages ago for me so I'm good to go now I think! I probably have a spare micro lying around here somewhere so I'll just use that. I can't imagine it needs to be too big. I seen on one site it said it needs to be 16gb. I doubt that like

    Hacking Where to get a firmware 4.5 or below 3DS XL?

    And as I'm sitting here, mouthing off, I get a message from my other half at home to say a package has came. It's Gateway... Result! I have a few noob questions before I run home to try it later... How many sd cards does it need? I bought a 32gb microsd for the games, but the instructions...

    Hacking Where to get a firmware 4.5 or below 3DS XL?

    Ah right. Fingers crossed for the postman then. I ordered Friday late afternoon so hopefully I'll see something soon. Same here with replies though, nothing from the contact form, e-mail or FB message. Customer service leave much to be desired! Even if they replied and said it was out of stock...

    Hacking Where to get a firmware 4.5 or below 3DS XL?

    Ok, I did NOT know that?! I would have had it for nearly a week already if I picked it up, haha. I'll e-mail them again and see if I can collect. Their company details online say they're in Cyprus so that doesn't help me, ha

    Hacking Where to get a firmware 4.5 or below 3DS XL?

    Ok fair enough, thanks :) I kept one of the first ones for myself so just waiting for my gateway to arrive, although I'm getting impatient with Teensy right now

    Hacking Where to get a firmware 4.5 or below 3DS XL?

    Does this forum have a classified section? Or (if it's not against the rules), does anyone know of a forum with one for like minded people? I have a friend who refurbishes consoles, mainly 3ds's. In the last week he's had 6 x 3ds's, 3 of them were XL and 2 of those were FW 4.4 and 4.5 They're...

    the vram is one advantage when it comes to AI but ends up being slower even with that and really AI is the only use case that needs more than 12gb vram right now
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Interesting lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think I watched a video where two games at 4K where eating just over 16GB of RAM and it's the one case where the 7900XT and XTX pulled ahead (minus RTX of course)
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So my opinion is that they could age a bit better in the future, and maybe AMD will continue improving them via drivers like they tend to do. No guarantee there but they have done it in the past. Just a feeling I have.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    cyberpunk at 4k without DLSS/fidelityfx *might* exceed 12gb
     +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that game barely runs at native 4k
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it was some newer games and probably poorly optimized PS4 or PS5 ports
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    they definitely will age better but i feel dlss might outweigh that since it looks about as good as native resolution and much less demanding

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I played Cyberpunk on my old 2080 Ti it sucked lol
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    AMD could introduce something comparable to DLSS but nvidia's got a lot more experience with that
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    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:
    Lol
  • 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.
