Hi All,

so Im new to switch and just installed CFW 9.1.0 with this guide

and I have so many issues that already thinking about getting back to OFW (((

more or less at the end everything went ok, but after partitioning fat32 and emummc stuff i was left with only 32 gb available form my 64 gb sd card. is there a way to make whole 64gb avalable on CFW?
(in this guide I have formatted sd first as fat32 and then partition emummc and have to options to boot from hekate: CFW and OFW - I really dont need this OFW option at all)

second question is that I have homebrew appstore app but how can I access appstore if going online will get me banned?

and third question is how can I install nsz files ? I was unable to run tinfoil as in manual it said that hekate is not supported and also i was unable to run PC app...is there any alternative to install nsz files

1) If you setup an EMMC that 32gigs is that and you cant have it back.
2) Even if you install nsz files they still take up the full game size. They are just containers.

You can make a smaller emuNAND but there is not much point, as you can install games into NAND (which will make them go into your emuNAND) to make use of that space, only about 3GB is taken up by the OS.
64 GB is not much on the Switch though. Some games are >30GB and once you install the updates and DLC, some games are ~60GB.

so what exactly to do to have cfw and 64gb sd available?
first in tegraexplorer sd is formatted to fat32 and then format for emummc setup, after this when i connect sd to pc i get 1 partition 32gb which i can access and the other which is not accessable.

after this I enter hekate for the first time i enter emummc> create emummc then after process is finished i click change emummc>sd raw1
is there anything i can do or skip in this steps that can make 64 gigs accessable?

Just delete emummc folder from sdcard and delete second partition using PC. Then boot to hekate and disable emummc if it's still enabled. If you don't have option to use sysnand CFW in Launch menu, copy fusee-primary.bin to bootloader/payloads in sdcard, boot to hekate, choose "Payloads" and "fusee-primary.bin"

When formatting the card to use as EmuMMC, you still have 64gb, but only in CFW.
As in 32GB are for the NAND and 32 for the SD.

Meaning that if you are in CFW, and install a game in the NAND partition, it will still install it on the SD card, just in a hidden partition.

so you are saying that right now when im in CFW i have 32+64gb storege (just 32 gb isnt visible)?
The hidden patition on the SD, are the 32gb [29gb aproximatly] that you are using for the EmuMMC, whish is the "NAND" on the CFW.

Your Switch on normal mode, will see 32 + 32 [32 From real NAND and 32 from the SD]
Your Switch on CFW mode will see also 32 + 32 [32 From the EmuMMC [Hidden Partition] and 32gb from the SD].

When installing on the NAND of the CFW, that is the 32gb hidden partition.

so heres how you can have full storage available for CFW (if following this guide in the video - not sure about other methods): after injecting tegra explorer format sd to fat32, but skip EMUMMC Setup.
when you boot to hekate skipp all EMUMMC suff and just boot into atmosphere. now you have access to whole storage of SD card.

yeah that's having cfw on sysnand instead of emunand now. Why are you following guides you don't know what they are about?

I knew what it was doing more or less :).after installing i just realized that i dont need to go online so i was wasting 32 gigs for no reason.

Actually this guide for me is more simple to follow than this https://switch.hacks.guide/ - which most of people use...
