    ROM Hack Looking to backup save data for games that don't support cloud saves, like Splatoon 2

    How would I go about backing up the NAND, and can I do it without a CFW? What is the risk of a ban or damage to the Switch? I have plenty of storage for a NAND backup. I just want to have backups of Splatoon 2 and similar games on hand in the event that my Switch is destroyed or stolen. I don't...

    ROM Hack Looking to backup save data for games that don't support cloud saves, like Splatoon 2

    I have been very disappointed in the fact that Nintendo has failed to make it possible to back up save data for Splatoon 2, and it appears that Animal Crossing: New Horizons will be in the same boat. There are a number of ways they could fix this problem, such as by storing the save data in a...

    Hacking USB Loader GX Problems

    UPDATE: After converting the drive to MBR using Windows Disk Management, I went into Paragon Hard Disk Manager, and rather than only showing the first 2TB as usable, it showed the whole drive as usable. I formatted it as FAT32, and then checked the drive information using fsutil. It now said...

    Hacking USB Loader GX Problems

    I finally received the Western Digital Passport drive, and when I went into System Information, it said that the drive had 512-byte sectors! I attempted to convert it to MBR, and like before, it locked out all but 2TB. I attempted to convert it back to GPT and then format it as FAT32, and...

    I went ahead with the 5-partition plan, and sure enough, I was met with the exact same issues as before. I have now purchased the Western Digital Passport drive linked above, and I will attempt this whole thing again when it arrives.

    Hacking USB Loader GX Problems

    Are you sure that there is no way to convert a drive with 4,096-byte physical sectors and 512-byte logical sectors to a drive with both 4,096-byte physical sectors and 4,096-byte logical sectors? I just want to make sure that there is no way to use the drive I have now before I purchase another...

    Hacking USB Loader GX Problems

    I investigated further, and I determined that this drive actually does have 4,096-byte physical sectors, but still uses 512-byte logical sectors. Is there any way to change the logical sector size to 4,096 bytes? If so, would that improve my situation? If not, would this drive work...

    Hacking USB Loader GX Problems

    UPDATE: I attempted to change the drive to an MBR drive, and I discovered that the maximum amount of space I can use with MBR is only 2TB, or 2,048GB. Apparently my drive only has 512-byte sectors, and I as able to confirm that in Windows System Information. I will just have to go ahead with the...

    Hacking USB Loader GX Problems

    I tried deleting the two Wii partitions, and replacing them with three equally-sized partitions, which I then transferred the Wii library to, with one third of the library being on each partition. The partitions are FAT32, and they are now all under 1TB. However, the Gamecube partition has...

    Hacking USB Loader GX Problems

    I have been attempting to get a complete set of all Gamecube and all Wii games running off of a single 4TB Seagate hard drive on my Wii with USB Loader GX. Because Nintendont requires a FAT32-formatted drive for Gamecube games, I decided to create two partitions. Due to the 2TB partition size...

    Official hakchi2 - NES Mini very simple pimp tool

    Whenever I try to use "use_nestopia.hmod" or "--core nestopia," all games under Retroarch crash, sending me back to the menu, no matter what. In other words, Fceumm works fine, except for FDS games, but Nestopia always crashes.

    Official hakchi2 - NES Mini very simple pimp tool

    Does anyone know how to get Famicom Disk System games working through Retroarch? I tried putting the disksys.rom BIOS in the Retroarch.hmod archive, and then flashing the NES Mini. I then set the directory for the BIOS in Retroarch to be /etc/libretro/bios, but .fds games still crash, whether...

    Hacking Super Mario 3d Land E3 Beta on Sky3ds?

    I just bought a Sky3ds so that I could play the original SM3DL E3 Beta (sm_retail.3ds, sm_dev.3ds, sm_gateway.3ds), but no version of it will run. I've tried the .cia versions of all of those files as well, to no avail. A stock Super Mario 3d Land rom will work fine. Is there any way, Sky3ds or...
