SO i successfully installed SX OS on my switch. License valid etc.

I can't seem to create folders that show up on the switch. It's in exFAT.

So it boots up fine with the custom firmware - i can navigate the menu in Album

i must be doing something stupid.. still dont get loaders. but i dragged a few homebrew nro's and the cartridge dumper nro and it still doesn't show up.

Apologies again - P.S. I only have a macbook pro.

Mac does not do well with this but you have options.

Okay first, do you see any homebrew you copied over? it is listed in SX menu under the homebrew tab.

If not, do you see them if you copy them to the root of the SD card? (i.e. not in folders)

If so, delete the folders, use FTP or NX-Shell homebrew to make the directories.

Once the folder(s) are recreated try testing if anything placed in them pop up.

If the folders do work you should be able to use your mac to place things in the folders or my usb to sd card app if it works for you.

check if the sd is corrupted, if it is try to save all of your data off the sd card then format it and drag it back on.
i had an exfat card and some files were getting corrupted because of layeredfs crashes

Need to set the archive flag on the Switch folder. Windows does this automatically.

From Terminal:
Code:
sudo chflags -R noarch /Volumes/SDCARD/switch

This doesn’t need to be done for FAT32

I'm having the same issue and the Terminal code isn't working. Trying to add MAME to my sd card on a MacBook Pro and it isn't recognizing my roms folder.

I used NX shell to make the folders, but when I copy the roms into the folder the Switch no longer recognizes it.

Its because of MacBook. Use windows instead.
I don't have a windows computer :cry:

Maybe I can use my office computer... do I have to reformat the sd card?

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
    i need help with nusspli failed downloads, can someone respond to my thread? pretty please:wub:
