Hi everyone,

I just hacked my 2nd switch. No problems with the first one. Loaded into atmosphere emummc no problem.

This time, when booting emummc for the first time, it did not "reset" the switch. It loaded into my regular profile with the same game data as I had before (albeit with no games on the sd card anymore). If I check the system firmware, it is "9.0.1|AMS 0.9.4|E."

Steps I took:
1. Verified switch was unpatched. Started with sysnand on 9.0.1.
2. Formatted a 256GB card in fat32, with 2 primary partitions, 1 being 29856MB in size for the emunand.
3. Copied Kosmos files over to the largest partition including sig patches.
4. Loaded into Hekate using RCMloader (NOTE: I did not check to see if there was a newer version of the payload. I used the same on that was current for Kosmos 14.1, which was hekate__ctcaer_5.0.2.bin.
5. Backed up eMMC BOOT0 & BOOT1 and also eMMC RAW GPP and copied to my home nas.
6. Ran Create emuEMC > SD partition, and then did "Change emuMMC" to "SD Raw1"
7. Got the green check under "emuMMC Info & Selection"
8. Selected Launch and then "CFW (EMUMMC).

When I did this, I got the atmosphere boot screen like normal, but I did not get the initial setup wizard to configure the console. It went straight into what looked to be my original profile, including links to all the games I had played before, and my wife and daughters profiles as well. Something is different though, because like I said the firmware was now "9.0.1|AMS 0.9.4|E."

Did I do something wrong? What should be done now? I did boot into sysnand once after the hack with the rcmloader plugged in and the jig in place, but it was in airplane mode.

Should I do a restore?

Now that I think about it more, on the first switch I hacked, I wiped the system first.

So to my original point, should an emunand "clone" the existing sysnand as it is? When I boot into emunand the very first time, should my Nintendo account, my wifi settings, my old game saves, all be there like on the sysnand?
