I have used Atmosphere on my Switch with 90DNS and no EmuMMC. Did I do something wrong? I heard that the SysNAND could be dirty or something. I haven’t done a lot of things, I only did a NAND Backup, installed Tinfoil (and never used it really) and some HB Apps. Will I get banned?

If you have installed any nsp,xci,nsz,xcz (even homebrew nsp like tinfoil) it "dirties" the nand. What alot of people mean by dirty nand is installing stuff thats not legitimately bought or installed homebrews (when I say install, I mean putting it on the home screen. Not putting the nro files in the switch folder)

So since you have installed stuff thats not from eshop, it is considered "dirty". If you try to connect to nintendo servers at this point, you will be flagged for a ban.

Best course of actions now is make an emmunand/emummc (both mean same thing). Restore a clean nand backup (a nand backup that was created before you installed tinfoil, etc,) thats your best course of action. Also if you're gonna use tinfoil for the "shops" 90dns bogs down your download speed. Install incognito_rcm/atmosphere incognito on ur emunand.

Can I just uninstall Tinfoil or do I need to restore the backup? And if I need to restore, how do I do that if I don’t have enough space for all files to fit on the SD?

You have 2 options.
1) restore a clean nand backup. This is the preferred option
2) use a homebrew called haku33. It wipes your system like a factory restore. But its not guaranteed to be ban proof.

As for space. Buy a 128gb or 256gb. This way you can create an emunand for all of your "backups" and cfw stuff. Use sysnand for legit stuff and online.

  • 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
