Hacking Question Firmware Switch - From Reinx to Atmoshpere

[this_brotha]

Originally I have installed reinx on my switch but because it takes a lot of time until reinx gets updated, I tried to switch to atmosphere. Probably it wasn't the best choice to start with the Reinx at all. So I followed all the instructions from Switch Homebrew Guide, until I managed to install atmosphere on my switch. Launched it and updated to 9.1.0 (from 8.1.0) as well. Everything works great but a lot of my games needed redownload and they were not installed at all. (I changed SD cards From Reinx to Atmosphere just to do a clean install). So I have one SD card with Atmosphere installed and one with Reinx.

In Reinx in the main root of the SD card was a folder called Nintendo, that was not present on the Atmosphere one. I guess all the data and games were installed on this folder, So now I wonder, should I copy this Nintendo Folder from the root of the Reinx's directory to the root of the Atmosphere, and will the switch instantly see that the games are installed or I will have to install them again?

You need the "Nintendo" folder. And it is not necessary to switch the sd card. Delete the reinx folders and files and put the latest atmosphere release to the sd card. Thats all.

Just copied it inside the eMMC backup folder that Hekate creates and it worked. Thanks for the answer and your help

Before launching atmosphere you can create a backup on your SD called eMMC, in that folder there is a Nintendo folder that I just merged with my existing one. After doing that, that worked perfectly. I guess it can work if you just copy the folder to the SD's root folder.
