The new SX OS update added the EmuTendo folder. Is unlinking still necesary?

Does the sysNAND stay clean after this guide if I never ever hacked my switch before?

Awesome guide, BTW. Helped me a lot!

 

[krazyblunts]

question - if i never used xci's or nsp's but I did use reinx and i did use pkhex (pokemon) to modify my save file. do I still need to restore my unhacked nand? or can I just create the emunand?

 

[sergux]

Is this tutorial still actual?

Until TX release a major update yes, 2.3 sx os with SD emunand is on beta and it has some issues right now.

Just follow the steps, or if u do that is at your own risk, maybe there are traces and ninty could detect them then ban you.

 

[thaikhoa]

I've just updated the guide to support SX 2.3 Beta.

 

[ssssss13]

Can you create emunand on FAT32? Where IS it placed on the se?

 

[thaikhoa]

Can you create emunand on FAT32? Where IS it placed on the se?

Yes you can create emunand on fat32. SD:\sxos\emunand\

 

[ssssss13]

Yes you can create emunand on fat32. SD:\sxos\emunand\

Thank you! It Will work if i just transfer files to PC,format to FAT32 and paste files back? My emunand Was created on exfat so so maybe sxos used bigger than4 GB files and therefore that nand IS useless on fat32

Yes it will work that way.

 

[tivu100]

Been out of the loop for so long, so please forgive my ignorance:

Is this Emunand is universal for other CFW or just SX CFW?

 

[slaphappygamer]

ok, so im gonna make the plunge. i have a clean 5.1.0 nand. im going to make an sdnand from my current 5.1.0 (that ive installed nsps and homebrew to) with all my saves and reinstall my games. after that, ill restore my sysnand with my clean nand. am i on the right track? i havent emunanded before on any system.

 

[starbury86]

Hi guys,

I have a new switch with firmware 4.0.1. I did a nand backup,created an emunand within sxos and updated the emunand to firnware 6.1 using choidujournx. The sysnand is still on 4.0.1 and I have 2 sd cards to keep it as clean as possible.

I'm playing my xci and nsp files only on emunand being offline and used the sysnand with the other sd card to play my original copy of Mario Odyssey and Zelda.

Can I update my sysnand after booting it from sxos (to avoid burning fuses) to 6.2 for playing fortnite, accessing the eshop and updating mario/Zelda or will there be a problem with my 6.1 emunand? I read something about problems with sleep mode and also the new security with the 6.2 update so I did not update my sysnand until now.

Thank you very much for your help.

Im not gonna say it will work forever but I've played a ridiculous amount of smash online on my off after making an emmunand

how do you deal with the sleep mode not working?

 

[switchalex]

how do you deal with the sleep mode not working?

Welp, I tend to only use my switch on my dock, so when I want to play my cfw

Turn off switch -> rcm -> sxos and play
and it won’t sleep while im playing


When I want to play online

Turn off switch -> sx boot into ofw or just turn on switch normal -> play smash till my eyes hurt

The sleep mode issue doesn’t happen on the ofw, but yeah you really just choose how you want to use your switch and take an extra two minutes setting it up there
