Im at 5.0.1 and using SX OS Emunand and its 2.0.1. After I install several nsp games I noticed that games becomes unplayable after a few restarts.It shows a cloud icon above the game and it says "game is need to be downloaded". What am I doing wrong?

'Game needs to be downloaded' means that you're running official firmware. Make sure you're in SX OS mode

sounds like files became corrupted or corrupted as in fake microsd
how much space have you used on the microsd

you could delete some games then reinstall this game that is currently not working and see if it works

I have a 200 GB microsd card and about half of it is empty. For example I installed "Broforce" a few days ago and played it. After a couple of restart I noticed the cloud icon and reinstalled it. Played it couple times again and now its cloud icon...

how are you installing it? sounds like after you install the nsp, it overwrote some of your games making it think you only have the updates/dlc for the games. try reinstalling those games.

-put the nsp files on the sd card
-open sx emunand and nsp installer
-install them and delete installer files

You need to unlink the two nands after creating emunand

The reason is when linking Sysnand and Emunand will share the same Nintendo folder on your SD while having different ticketblobs. When Emunand installed more games than Sysnand, all of them on Emunand will be archived completely when trying to access Sysnand after a deep reboot, access Data Management or download game on eShop. Because Sysnand's ticketblob doesn't recognize the installed data.

Thus, we need to unlink them. When booting to a wrong nand with wrong Nintendo folder, the system will ask you to DELETE rather than DELETE without asking when linking nands.

There's a tutorial around.

Cheers.

If you have a low FW like below 3.01 it might happen some day in the long term future that you could simply press Power button and the console would boot directly to a fully custom OS or a small CFW or Linux or whatever...

Or even below 4.1 you might be able to load CFW doing something in the console software without needing payloads, chips, mods, jigs... The lower the FW the better.

So emunand CFW is the perfect hassle free way of leaving the console in a low FW while having a CFW fully updated to play backups, homebrew.....

It also gives more safety to try dodgy beta\alpha stuff in a safe environment where it won't make your console brick, it might just require to make a new emunand.

There are more reasons too...

I found if you convert games from xci to nsp on the emunand and then install - it corrupts other games already installed. If you convert xci games on the PC to nsp and then install - the games don't get corrupted. It could be down to the way the micro sd is formatted, but some data on on your card is being corrupted - hence the games not loading after some time.

Are you running retroarch? It can corrupt your sd card of its formatted to exfat. I had the same symptoms.

Sure you haven’t got your sd cards mixed up, maybe you installed nsp on one and used another thinking you installed them on that one. Just a thought?

No, no. I only use one sd card and I install all games on it. I think whenever I install new games, my existing games dissappear.

I wanted to use retroarch but I deleted it since it doesnt support Exfat

seems like all these issues are coming from using emunand. Is there even any reason to use it?
I know right?! Seems like too many are having issues. My Switch is setup with OFW 6.0 + SX OS 2.0.1 + NO EMUNAND + NO AUTORCM = Very Very HAPPY :)

*No issues whatsoever; all the NSP games have been working flawlessly, hope this helps.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • 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:
