    Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

    Understood, thanks for all the help. Yea, I watched a video of how to do the mod for mariko units and between the difficulty of that and the difficulty in tracking down chips, i agree that my best option would be to just find an unpatched older unit and sw mod it. I read using a paperclip is a...

    #4, this is the SX OS that requires a license, right? I'd be down to look at performing the mod myself or finding a service if I can't, providing it meets my needs after the mod, but I read SX OS is dead anyways yea? So I'll probably just look for a HAC-001 unpatched to run the sw exploit...

    Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

    Oh I misunderstood, thanks for that. Sorry for so many questions, been reading a lot but it's a lot of info. So, what are chipped systems for, then? Do you think I should look into getting one of those? I'm not quite sure I understand the advantages/disadvantages. You were saying the hardmod...

    Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

    That's great info, thanks, I was wondering if it was better to be on a low FW vs being on older moddable hardware. I guess with the older versions, the hardmod means you can use whatever FW you want? I've been a jailbreaker for many years so I'm accustomed to staying on old FW revisions as long...

    Thanks guys. I'm looking on fleabay at $600 unpached new versions. Is this a smart idea? Seems steep but I'm just starting out on switch stuff. I was looking at the cart upgrade method to bring a new version unit to 8.0.1, kinda like the idea of having more recent hardware.

    Thank you for the clarity. So, would something like this be good? https://www.walmart.com/ip/Refurbished-Nintendo-Switch-Console-with-Joy-Cons-Power-Adapter-HAC-001-Refurbished/794713343 Or would I need to check the serial to be sure? Would it be a good idea to try to get a HAC-001-01 new...

    Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

    Hello, I am a 3ds hacking vet but a Switch noob. I don't own a switch and I'm looking to get one but it seems pretty complicated. If I understand correctly, if I'm looking to buy new, I have to check the serials and I get the impression that pretty much all current stock is unhackable (is that...

    Hacking Luma3DS Updater Thread

    Certainly, I'm on the latest revisions of everything since I had to go to GitHub to update everything manually. Luma is 10.2.1, updater is 2.6. Maybe it's just a connection issue although all my other network functions such as QR FBI installs and FTP work just fine. I'll try running updater...

    Hacking Luma3DS Updater Thread

    Anyone else having an issue where it's stuck on "fetching" hourly builds? It just hangs there forever. I updated Updater manually but I ended up having to update Luma manually as well since the updater isn't working which sorta defeats the entire purpose.

    Homebrew Retroarch Emulation Thread (Nightly Builds Included)

    Thank you, I actually have that installed already too, but it doesn't have FF/rw and some other features I use so I just stick with RA. I did copy config but I couldn't restore it because of the controls being locked out. So I renamed it to .old with FBI and that's how I unlocked controls.

    Homebrew Retroarch Emulation Thread (Nightly Builds Included)

    Ahhh yea it was xmb already. I changed to rgui and restarted and I can read things now, thanks. Any ideas on what I did wrong or how to prevent that in the future? I'm launching from snes9x 2002 and it also seems like it didn't keep some of my settings before - I'd sometimes have to rebind...

    Homebrew Retroarch Emulation Thread (Nightly Builds Included)

    I guess it's glui based on your description. I mean it's a garbage layout and half the text overlaps and the options are all spread out? Also all my hotkeys are forgotten and resolution etc

    Homebrew Retroarch Emulation Thread (Nightly Builds Included)

    Hi, I accidentally pressed the D pad while navigating input settings in snes9x 2002 core which apparently makes it impossible to do anything since I had no way of setting it back to 3ds controller input (cool design there). So I renamed my config and restarted the core and now I have a garbage...

    Homebrew [Release] freeShop - open source eShop alternative

    So, I am new to this whole shabang...will this keep downloading if I close the lid? I assume it behaves similarly to the regular eShop?

    ROM Hack 3DNUS; Mod by: Dr.hacknik

    That is a brilliant workaround, and it did the trick, thank you! It launched, although running the extension tool from within the program throws an access denied error, so I thought, maybe I have permission issues going on (cuz that's not a huge headache or anything). It was just my AV software...

    ROM Hack 3DNUS; Mod by: Dr.hacknik

    Just wanted to report back in, for those in the distant future - for the love of god, do NOT run that cleaner utility. It is used as a last resort when your .net framework is borked beyond repair and can very easily lead to requiring a clean OS reinstall. I almost had to format my system, took...

    ROM Hack 3DNUS; Mod by: Dr.hacknik

    Yech, after I ran the cleanup utility and rebooted, I ran the .net 4 installer again and it keeps giving me a fatal error, won't install. Troubleshooting now. thanks for the help :) All this to patch my damn AGB_FIRM. On the upside, I just learned that windows has been blocking my updates since...

    ROM Hack 3DNUS; Mod by: Dr.hacknik

    Whoops, haha. I think what I was remembering from the PDF was the "Q: 3DNUS Suddenly Crash's for No Reason! Well there must be a Reason, but try Installing the Latest .NET 4.5 Framework & Power Pack 3.1 or 3.2." So I ran it again with net 4.6 installed, but I still get a crash after "config...

    ROM Hack 3DNUS; Mod by: Dr.hacknik

    I'm on 7, 64 bit. I used the x64 link in OP but there's no redist folder in the archive, I was a bit confused when I kept seeing references to it. Thanks for the link. Just fyi, the readme stuff all mentions that PowerPack is required still - at least as of what I downloaded last night, anyways.
