Hacking Question External SD Card Disconnects During Sleep Mode

[TheGameNFormer]

Hello,

Recently I tried using this method to load xci backups with a usb c sd adapter. I am able to load games through sx os but, when I enter sleep mode the sd disconnects resulting in a cartridge error. Don't know if it's specific to my device or if it's a standard thing. ( https://www.reddit.com/r/SwitchHaxi...use_an_external_card_reader_to_load/?sort=top )

use a hdd

tried using an external hdd. same thing happened. Don't know if it's a bug within SX OS. Using the 2.5.2 beta

hmm

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

will try

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

so when you put your switch in sleep mode it stops the cpu ram emmc etc

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

the xci function relies on the cpu and all of that

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

so its normal that xcis unmounts on sleep mode

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

its for saving that precious juice

gotcha. It's weird because xci's launched from the internal sd slot don't do that.

Usb devices are powered off during sleep mode and unmounted.
