Homebrew RELEASE ChoiDujourNX - a system firmware installer homebrew for the Nintendo Switch

Thanks but I'm worrying about running out of batteries.

As I said before, if you're letting the console run out of battery, you're only doing damage to the console; it is never a good idea to let the battery the Switch uses go completely empty. It will reduce the lifespan of the battery significantly.

Is there an option to turn off switch completely, in case to not use it for example 10 days? What we can do in this situacion?

You mean in the context of autoRCM? Yes, boot into a bootloader of your choice and use the power off option there. A console with autoRCM can only be completely powered down there.

 

[Zdobuzdo]

You say, to boot into cfw(sx os) and press turn (power) off?

 

[shchmue]

Hekate i think is the only common loader with a power off feature that kills everything with AutoRCM enabled. use that or else just hold your power button for 12+ seconds and that will be off just the same.

You download ChoiDujour, you have to download ChoiDujourNX (yes there is a difference and both are on there).

Any CFW will do as they all do the same job. Its a matter of preference really. SX OS if you want to only use .XCI files, EmuNAND, HDD support. ReiNX if you just a CFW for backup launching and homebrew. Atmosphere if you want continual support for your CFW and eventual EmuNAND support (and a few miscellaneous features like rebooting any payload from CFW or protection of AutoRCM during system updates).

For installing .NSP files, OG Tinfoil is still my go to. Goldleaf just sounds too buggy in comparison plus it has a lot of useful but features that can be regulated to other homebrew applications.

I also still use the OG tinfoil. Goldleaf fails to install anything over USB for me.

can you install more than one CFW?

 

[Draxzelex]

You do not install any CFW with the Switch. CFW are just files you place on the SD card.

okay, i think i have an idea on how to use them:
1) run hekate and make raw nand backup;
2)update using choidujou to 6.2
3) copy all CFW i want into microsd then run them PHOTO, while holding R?

an i right?

Your steps are fine but if you hold R when pressing the Album, you will enter the Album. If you want to enter the Homebrew Menu, you press Album without holding anything.

Are all firmware dumps from popular sites inclusive of the exFAT update that I can install via ChouDujourNX? Or do I need to look for specific ones if I want exFAT support?

Inclusive (bar 1.0.0 which doesn't support exfat)

Get the firmware you want, and choidujourNX will give you the option of exfat or non exfat
