Hey,

So i've recently got a second sd card to keep different games and possibly save files for my girlfriend on my switch but ran into a bit of a problem. I'll try to outline it as clearly as possible.

All of this is done with SX OS 2.9.4 (Beta) running and a SX Pro dongle used for accessing the CFW. AutoRCM disabled. SysNAND on 8.1.0, 10 fuses burnt.

Had a 256gb sd card with EmuNAND running 8.1.0 with a bunch of games installed.
Decided to get animal crossing.
Updated my EmuNAND to 9.2.0 with ChoiDujourNX.
Installed Animal Crossing.
Got a 128gb sd card.
Decided to restore my NAND to create the new EmuNAND on the brand new sd from scratch running the original Switch FW (6.0.0). The original NAND dump was done with HEKATE, used the same to restore it as well.
Restored NAND, switch wouldn't work. Realised i had already burned fuses with the 8.1.0 update, so updated both SysNAND and EmuNAND to 8.1.0 with ChoiDujourNX.
Everything was working on my new 128gb sd.
Updated the new 128gb sd card EmuNAND to 9.2.0 with ChoiDujourNX, leaving the SysNAND at 8.1.0.
Installed games, everything working fine.
Popped the old 256gb sd card back in, loaded up SX OS loader, started the EmuNAND, Nintendo logo flashed and wouldn't go any further. Switch still on, but nothing was/is happening.


Any ideas anyone please? got a bunch of saves there i can't access anymore. 60% Fire Emblem hurts the most, not gonna lie.

Thanks for any and all help.

How is the SD card formatted? Also you do realize you don't have to restore the NAND before setting up emuMMC? That is actually worse because now none of your games and saves will carry on over to emuMMC.

It’s formatted with the switch formatting option.
Yeah, i do, but i figured I’d rather be thorough and do it once then not and risk doing it again.
Well the saves would only carry over through checkpoint anyway, because it’s so the same switch, with all the same info, just rolled back.

That doesn't answer my question of how your SD card is formatted. Like what file format system is it formatted to?

Reformat your SD card to FAT32. Most likely your SD card became corrupted due to using exFAT.
okay, so what's the best tool to copy everything off my card (clone it)? so i wouldn't lose anything that's already on the card and could resume everything after formatting

dd, no doubt
can i please have a full name? dd doesn't really show me the correct thing on google lol
also, as a sidenote, can't seem to get EmuNAND working at all anymore, used another sd card, multiple sx os version to create it, but no luck... i did try to format the new card to fat32, but it asks to format it again the moment i put it back into the switch, rendering the fat32 useless, because it is reformated as exfat

Hey, so if anyone wants an update, i've got something.

So tried various things to get it working or a semblance of, but in the end it has been to no avail. Managed to copy the hidden partition, make the hidden partition no longer hidden, format the sd to exFat, to Fat32, converting the EmuNAND from SxOS to Atmosphere, anything and everything really. In the end ran into a wall where my base of knowledge is just not enough to proceed further. The issue in question is a panic whilst trying to run either atmosphere or SxOS.

Title ID: 010000000000002B
Error Desc: std::abort() (0xFFE)

That's the name of the listed error. So at this point, anyone got any ideas please?

Also, so much for the hidden partition being the better option as to not get corrupted. if it wasn't, i'd have a copy of it, not just the content files.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too

    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

    It's always worth a shot

    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
