Hacking Need help installing exFAT driver to 3.0 Switch

[derekzoolander]

Hello all,

Need some help here as I am now on day two of trying to get this done and cannot get it working. Been following the tutorial in the tuts section here.

My issue is that I am on a Mac and have no access to a pc with USB 3 support. Since I have read horror stories about usb3 support in VMs I decided to make a RAW nand backup using the latest hekate from CTcaer. I used hacdiskmount to mount my backup FILE, and extract the modded files as indicated in the tutorial. I successfully patched them using the linked tools, and then restored it into my RAWNAND.bin backup. However, it appears the backup will not restore using Hekate. Fails immediately upon attempting. Do I need to set perms or something?

Second, tried following the instructions word for word, opening NAND directly using 'open physical disk' in HacDiskMount. However, even with the VM XHCI drivers, my switch never shows up. Always comes up as a failed "USB Mass Storage Device" in device manager. No amount of uninstalling, scanning hw etc has fixed it. Any ideas?

You do know you can use bootcamp to run a full on Windows on your mac right?

My 2.0 switch works fine on my exFAT evo 256gb sd card, didn't install anything as far as I know. No issues running anything except HBL. Is this something which was removed by nintendo in a later fw? As I was to trying out how to update it manually since I thought low FW needed that but it just worked.

Did you start using exFAT when 2.0 was still the newest fw? If so, you probably got the exFAT update the official way.

Could be, I don't recall using an SD card until recently but that doesn't mean I hadn't. Didn't play it since launch day until binding of isaac came out then that was my 1.0 - 2.0 update.
