    Hacking Question SX OS - Moving to New SD card

    The only thing you have to look out for is that the so-called archive flag is preserved, especially on the Nintendo folder. This happens automatically on Windows, but is a real pain on macOS. However, there is a Hekate functionality to fix the archive flags as well, just in case something does...

    Hacking Question Finished setting up Nereba & have some questions about EmuMMC & staying safe

    You are completely right. There is a way to preserve fuses and keep the sysNAND clean at the same time. It basically means to catch the reboot after the official upgrade with jig and button combination and bring the console into RCM. The fuses are only burnt on first boot with the new firmware...

    Hacking Question Lost NAND backup

    If you want to go online with sysNAND it has to be on latest firmware anyway. So no options there. If you want to, you can preserve your fuses. However, this MIGHT involve a higher ban risk. Unfortunately no one knows for sure.

    Hacking Bricked after battery drains out

    The fuses prevent you from downgrading. When you boot a certain firmware, it checks your fuse count. If you have less fuses burnt than you should (=you upgraded the firmware), it just burns the necessary fuses. If you have more fuses burnt than you should (=you downgraded), it refuses to boot...

    Thanks for this, I was not aware that there is a tool for this now!

    Hacking Question Finished setting up Nereba & have some questions about EmuMMC & staying safe

    Great, that you were successful! 1. the emuMMC is always generated out of the current sysNAND. 2. when using atmosphere and hekate, the Gamecard slot is automatically protected. If you want to protect fuses as well, don’t upgrade your sysNAND. Upgrading the emuNAND does not blow fuses. 3. use...

    Hacking Question Lost NAND backup

    Your best bet is following this guide and going to a firmware below 6.1.0 (everything from 6.1.0 is not supported by this guide). No one knows if this is completely clean and undetectable for Nintendo, but your best bet if you don’t have a backup. Definitely do a NAND backup BEFORE you start...

    Hacking Nintendo Switch Jailbreak support

    Ideally try to get the serial number and then compare with the common lists whether it is patched or not: https://nh-server.github.io/switch-guide/user_guide/getting_started/#serial-list Theoretically ALL Switches are vulnerable to the newer Deja Vu exploit. BUT it is at the moment only...

    Hacking Bricked after battery drains out

    Just found this. So maybe it’s worth a try to manually downgrade to 4.1.0 or something with ChoiDuJour and then try pushing a payload again. https://switch.homebrew.guide/usingcfw/manualchoiupgrade Danger You cannot upgrade or downgrade directly to any firmwares from 6.2.0-8.1.0 as the...

    Hacking Nintendo Switch Jailbreak support

    If it is one of the original Switch consoles that are vulnerable to fusee gelee, it doesn’t matter. It will always be exploitable. If the console is one of the newer ipatched models, it needs to be on firmware 4.1.0 to be exploitable. Try to find one of the first kind. They are much easier to...

    Hacking Bricked after battery drains out

    Unfortunately not, the NAND is console specific. You might be able to rebuild your NAND from scratch, if the PRODINFO partition is still intact. But I never did that, you would have to search on how to do that. Or one of the other experts chimes in on this.

    Hacking Bricked after battery drains out

    So just to understand the situation: the Switch was drained, but you managed to recharge it, you can push payloads etc. The only thing is you can’t boot the OS beyond the Nintendo logo? Sounds like a botched upgrade of the firmware to me. Do you have a NAND backup that you can restore?

    Hacking SXOS 2.9.2 final & upgrading emunand to 9.0.1 ? compatible ?

    The 2.9.2 final is the same as the beta. :) But no problems neither during the upgrade nor after that. Just be aware that some older custom XCIs (with integrated updates/DLC) still do not work correctly. And make sure to use the latest ChoiDuJourNX to upgrade, otherwise you might brick your...

    Hacking Question Old Switch emuMMC to new Switch emuMMC

    Hi, I am not the absolute expert for emuMMCs, but from what I know this will not work. The sysNAND is definitely console specific (PROD partition for example). So I would bet that the emuNAND is as well since it is generated out of the sysNAND. I am afraid you will have to recreate it on the new...

    Hacking Question Safest way to use Checkpoint?

    Or, even though it is a bit more effort: just create an emunand out of your sysnand, maybe on a spare SD card. Then you can extract the save there without any ban risk.

    Hacking Can I downgrade my emummc?

    Yes, sure you can. Just be aware that resetting everything to factory settings is recommended when downgrading.

    Hacking Question SXOS or no?

    Depends. Normally an XCI is just a gamecart dump, so you have to install update and DLC NSPs on top. However, there are a lot of so called "custom XCIs" around that include update and DLC already. You can also generate them yourself using NSC Builder...

    Hacking Question How the online works for sysNAND and emuNAND.

    That’s two things. If you use 90dns or incognito or SXOS, you can connect to the internet to use e.g. homebrew App Store. You just should not use the official Nintendo services (eStore, online play etc.).

    Hacking Question Beginner questions before hacking

    You mean from the physical cartridge? Definitely no. You can create a save file with the cartridge and then later on buy the game online and download it. The save file will still work. On a hacked SXOS Switch the same thing applies. You can mix NSPs and XCIs as you like, installed or not...

    Hacking Question How the online works for sysNAND and emuNAND.

    The standard on an unpatched Switch would be to go online with the sysNAND and stay offline with the emuNAND. There will always be a risk ban, but from what I read it is pretty safe by now. On a hacked patched switch with firmware 4.1.0 the story is different. The sysNAND cannot use the online...
