How to run homebrew on your Nintendo Switch

Two days ago, I posted a link to a guide on how to run homebrew on your Switch with an included starter pack. The response was incredible, 2000+ views on the repo in 2 days. So I figured I'd rework it into a nicer format. I recieved a pull request to add macOS & Linux support, and figured I'd add Chrome OS & Android support. So, here's a link to the new and improved guide: https://t3chnolog1c.github.io/SwitchGuide/

It was macOS. Apparently folders or files copied or created from macOS to exFAT are different somehow. I copied all the files over from Windows and it works perfectly fine. Glad I got it figured out, now I can dump all my carts.
Im glad to read that you found your solution.
Certain OS or Aplications can mess up storage, my switch's nand got partitions corrupted by the mere fact of having partition wizard opened while i connected it to the computer.
Typical Computer Wizardry, driving users, IT Support, Sys. admin. and devs mad sience computers were invented.

Ok so quick question, are you using all up to date files with your starter pack? If they are posted somewhere I don't see it and I am just really curious if you updated to the most recent stuff with sleep working and game loading.

thx, man, do we always have to keep console turned on in hekate??
No you don't have to but since sleep mode is not supported in 3.X, when your console enters sleep mode while using Hekate on 3.X, you cannot wake it out of sleep and instead have to do a manual shutdown by holding the power button for at least 10 seconds.
