Hi all,

I have a first-gen NSW which I have recently dusted off, it has remained on Firmware 4.1.0.

I installed CFW following the guide at switch.homebrew.guide all the way through to setting up the emuMMC and did not have any issues, onto a 400GB genuine Sandisk SD card formatted for FAT32 (by guiformat). Also setup the 90DNS to block updates.

So both the system firmware and emulated firmware are now on 4.1.0. The plan was to then update emu to 13, and retain all my fuses.

However when I load into the emuMMC and open the homebrew launcher via game+r, I encounter the following error when trying to open everything I have tried so far: Golfleaf, Daybreak, mGBA, Breeze etc:

Error Code: 2003-0004 (0x803)

The switchbrew website suggests that the error code in the brackets 0x803 is for 'OS busy'.

And for the code 2003-0004, the only thing I have really found so far is the github page from switchbrew suggesting that it could be related to firmwares lower than 5.

I get the same error in sysmmc and emummc, so I cannot update the firmware via Daybreak, nor install any homebrew! I'm not doing anything out of the ordinary, so the low firmware version seems like the most likey cause of the issue?

Should I even care about the fuses and the ability to downgrade in future? If not, what would be the best way for me to upgrade either the system firmware and then the emu firmware, or just the emu firmware? Should I just disable 90DNS and do it via the internet? Obtain a game catridge with a later firmware?

Any advice is much appreciated!

    @K3Nv3, not directly. Mostly use bluetooth earbuds nowadays but when I do/did use IEMs I ran them through a USB C / Bluetooth DAC (FiiO BTR5, but there are newer and/or cheaper models available too)
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yeah I just kinda miss old earbuds just dont know any with type c that have that decent bass

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Consider one of the cheaper USB C to 3.5mm adapters, too. It is technically a DAC as well but less featured, less powerful, and less configurable than something like the FiiO but WAY cheaper and slimmer. https://www.amazon.com/Headphone-Adapter-JSAUX-Compatible-Samsung/dp/B07XYQ2ZKH That'll get you a lot closer to plain ol plug-in headphones
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    That paired with any normal IEMs. KZ ZSN Pro are the cheapies that I actually really liked lol
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yeah these look cool little dip switches https://a.co/d/0HXRfVf

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    huh that's cool, never seen those
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I could still always use my old android phone as a mp3 player but I get lost in the music and miss calls that way

    Hey guys @realtimesave and @Sicklyboy. Anybody that I had missed?
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    No one else that cares

  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Thanks for the like and then taking it away
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It's been discontinued but you can find em second hand. It's the FiiO model K1.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @SylverReZ nice. I've been using my BTR5 pretty much daily, got it in late 2020. Mostly use it as a desktop DAC though and the battery has already swelled up in it once, so I had to replace it. Some day I gotta grab a proper desktop DAC that doesn't have a battery lol

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @K3Nv3, Yeah, cheap and nasty earbuds don't deliver the best mids, they end up sounding really muddy.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Sicklyboy, I got mine around 2022 (iirc) and it was brand new, never opened, and for £15 too compared to paying nearly £30 elsewhere.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Sicklyboy, That sucks when the battery already begins to swell up. You considering on a desktop replacement, and if so, which one?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @SylverReZ damn 15 is shockingly cheap for that. Even 30 feels like a good price just given what a bunch of other FiiO stuff costs. Granted, not familiar with what those were originally selling for, so who knows lol

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    As far as a replacement for my BTR5, I don't really have my eyes set on anything specific yet but it'll likely be from either Fiio or Schiit Audio.

  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Better than tree fiddy
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Sicklyboy, Originally when it came out, they sold for around $40 USD according to FiiO's news bulletin. https://www.fiio.com/newsinfo/54677.html

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Sicklyboy, I would prefer FiiO as the better brand for a USB DAC.

  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I feel like headphones reached a peak even ones from ten years ago sound better than new ones
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @K3Nv3, all depends how much money you wanna spend. I had skullcandy headphones and shit way back when but I never liked anything as much as the headphones (and earbuds) I use nowadays

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @SylverReZ yeah fwiw I've been quite happy with my FiiO BTR5 so I don't have any specific reason to not a FiiO again. Just gotta see what's available and how much I'm trying to spend lol
