I just got my switch back from maintenance, it was sent there because of a orange screen problem and a NAND chip replacement was done in order to solve it.
Since I won't be able to use the same SXOS license to hack it again, here's what I want to do:

-Backup my saves;
-Hack it with Atmosphere and install a EmuNAND;
-Clean the SysNAND to play online. I don't know exactly what was done to it on the maintenance but I know the SysNAND isn't clean. Here is what is found on the SD card (see image).

Any recommendations on how to do it?

Well you can backup your saves with either Checkpoint or EdiZon and if you don't want to resort to homebrew, Nintendo has their cloud saving service. Since you used SX OS on it, setting up Atmosphere is basically the same process but with different files. However there is no way I know of to clean the sysMMC.

When you create the emunand, your sysnand is copied over. So that would include all the saves as well. (at least it is like that with SXOS, I assume atmosphere/hekate does it the same way).

To clean the sysnand after that, the ideal thing is to restore an old, clean backup. If you don’t have that, rebuilding a clean image for restoring might be your best bet. Or a factory wipe, but that will not delete all error logs etc. from what I read.

    are you using haxchi, tiramisu or aroma?
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    yeah
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    no, I'm asking which one of them you are using
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    aroma
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    in that case, there is no such thing as homebrew launcher for aroma
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    you have to launch your homebrews directly from the wii u menu
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    there is a plugin that display them on the wii u menu, pretty sure it is enabled by default
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    so like it doesnt exist
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    yeah
    ?
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    it doesn't exist, at least not for aroma
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    ohhhhh
  • NinStar @ NinStar:

  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    okay
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    I don't have a wii u anymore to test it myself, but if homebrews are not visible on the wii u menu I think you can press L + R + minus to open the plugin menu, there should be an option called "homebrews on wii u menu" or something similar
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    nope
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    it is L+dpad down+ select
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:

  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    yes, now I remember it
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    then it is working, I also don't like that they did this but it is the only option you have if you are using aroma
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
