The big one in the middle. It's called SD.

Hehe, ok.

I can see from file explorer, the sd card now registers as 2 seperate drives SD(E) and USB(F) of which F is not accessable as its not formatted.

OK, so once i place these files to the 'big one', i load up hekate, i should then be able to set up the emuMMC, using SD partition option in hekate?

Follow the guide.

ok cheers, done.

Just to confirm, having previously backed up NAND boot 0 & 1, and eMMC RAW GPP, and keys prior to this SD card format to FAT32, i no longer need to redo this back up step?

And actually, to also confirm, now all the partition stuff is done, when i launch CFW, i now use the 'CFW emuNAND' to launch atmosphere?
Can i leave my wifi connection on (currently on 90DNS settings manually)
The current set up means i can boot to horizon OFW without risk of ban?

That is correct.

On your clean sysNAND, you can leave Wi-Fi on. On your dirty emuNAND, you can only leave Wi-Fi on if you have 90DNS and/or Incognito installed.

Using a clean sysNAND for online play with legitimate games and using a dirty emuNAND of all hackery offline (or with 90DNS and/or Incognito installed) will make your ban risk minimal.

Thanks, you've been a real help
Ive just booted up to Atmosphere CFW emuNAND, its suprisingly clean.
I can see some items in there that i selected during my SD card set up ie retroarch, pFBA etc
how do i install the roms for the these? Do i need to remove sd card and install that way, or are they downloadable through switch homebrew?

I've come from the vita scene, on there i could use something called pkgj to download dumps, is there anything like that for Switch?


Thanks again

You need to find the files online and put them onto your SD card in the appropriate locations. You cannot ask for those files on GBATemp.
