Hi Draxzelex,

Took your advice and did an SDSetup, FAT32, the works. Booting fine. So began to try and re-assemble. Tinfoil wouldn't install. Added sigpatches. It installed. Then greeted with request for system update when attempting to start. Choose to start software but then it gives return to home screen error. I'm persisting but there's always something new, haha!

Appreciate all the help, people! The finish line is in sight.
TinFoil has never worked for me tbh, I'd recommend using nxdumptool to dump your cart games or eshop, eshop games should boot fine(Must be primary switch/console) it's something to do with sigpatches not playing nice with your installs? Good luck!

@Draxzelex I will be doing a fresh install from this site tonight, thanks for the advice, much appreciated! If I have to do reinstall of everything, then so be it! Have a great Monday and I'll keep you all posted :)


Also, hbmenu seems to be stuck in Applet mode, is this causing my issues? LOL Thanks again

are you using photo album or title override?

Photo album, the previous install package I had allowed for this, no problems. When trying the R command, it just goes to base screenshot notification, saying no photos are stored. I have no titles on here yet so can't try through a game either. Essentially, the person who set it up previously left me in the dark and I'm starting again from scratch.

Tried it, it wouldn't work, shall try again

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

No, it doesn't work, it just tells me screenshots and videos aren't available in this location.

Please, someone haha, help. I've tinkered with this for a couple of months but to no avail.

Just wish to get back playing my favourite console. Thanks again, Drex

You need to hold R and launch a Switch title (a Switch game - homebrew might work) for title redirection - R + album takes you to the stock album :)

I think that's a "not enough free space." error. It could also be an encoding problem. Make sure nothing for installing has accents like é as well.

That's crazy, as there's plenty of free space, haha. Going through things and checking now but I'm pretty sure nothing is accented

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • 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

    It's always worth a shot

    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
