Umm guys?
I want to restore my old 3.0.0 NAND dump.
However I'm a bit confused that the folder content differs slightly.
Here's my 3.0.0 dump:
Code:
biskeydump keys.txt
biskeys.txt
BOOT0
BOOT1
Partitions (<- FOLDER)
rawnand.bin.00
rawnand.bin.01
rawnand.bin.02
rawnand.bin.03
rawnand.bin.04
rawnand.bin.05
rawnand.bin.06
rawnand.bin.07
rawnand.bin.08
rawnand.bin.09
rawnand.bin.10
rawnand.bin.11
rawnand.bin.12
rawnand.bin.13
rawnand.bin.14
Restore (<- FOLDER)

And my newer dumps look like this (the following example is a 6.1.0 dump):
Code:
BOOT0
BOOT1
dumps (<- FOLDER)
rawnand.bin.00
rawnand.bin.01
rawnand.bin.02
rawnand.bin.03
rawnand.bin.04
rawnand.bin.05
rawnand.bin.06
rawnand.bin.07
rawnand.bin.08
rawnand.bin.09
rawnand.bin.10
rawnand.bin.11
rawnand.bin.12
rawnand.bin.13
rawnand.bin.14
restore (<- FOLDER)

So basically the newer dump does not have the partitions folder which on the other hand is empty and might be ignorable?
The restore folders in both dumps only contain an empty partitions folder as well so they are ignorable too?
So the only difference is the dumps folder in my 6.1.0 dump which contains
a fuses.bin and a tsec_keys.bin while the old 3.0.0 dump contains
biskeydump keys.txt
biskeys.txt
in its main folder.

To make that short? Do I have to adjust a few things or can I restore that old 3.0.0 dump as it is with hekate 5.0.1?

You're all good, the BOOT0/1 and rawnand.bin.* are the actual nand backup files that you need to restore. the key .txt files and the .bin files are extra dumps which you should keep around but aren't needed to restore.

Hey how long does it usually take for Fix Archive bit (nintendo only) to work? It has been over an hour and I have around 20+ games installed

So I upgraded to a 256 samsung evo card but I've noticed every time I use reboot to payload (set to hekate and via HOS restart) and boot hekate (even if it's auto boot) there's a long 2-3 minute hang on the boot logo before anything happens.

Right now my autoboot is set to boot fusse_secondary



Whereas if I push fusse-primary.bin, sx or like even lakka, the switch boots straight into it. I know my card isn't a lemon because it hits it's advertised speeds in CrystalDiskMark and it's space is true according to sdtester. I currently have a 1 for 1 copy of my 128 sd card on it, (except for a few files) and if I reboot to payload using my 128gb sd card it's fast and instant.

Here's my hekate bootloader setup. Anyone know what the issue is? I know there's been talk about U3 cards acting up, and I'm not sure if this is one of those things.

Code:
[config]
autoboot=1
autoboot_list=0
bootwait=1
verification=1
backlight=76
autohosoff=0
autonogc=1

{-- Custom Firmware --}
[CFW]
emummc_force_disable=1
fss0=atmosphere/fusee-secondary.bin
kip1patch=nosigchk
atmosphere=1
logopath=bootloader/bootlogo.bmp
icon=bootloader/res/icon_payload.bmp
{}
[SX OS]
payload=bootloader/payloads/sx.bin
icon=bootloader/res/icon_sx.bmp
{}
[Lakka]
payload=lakka/boot/coreboot.rom
logopath=lakka/boot/splash.bmp
icon=bootloader/res/icon_lakka.bmp
{}

{---- Miscellaneous ---}
[Stock]
emummc_force_disable=1
fss0=atmosphere/fusee-secondary.bin
stock=1
icon=bootloader/res/icon_switch.bmp
{}

Is it necessary to have Atmosphere and the hekate bootloader folder's on your sd card to be able to load Hekate's Stock mode?

I wonder since i don't need any of its features(for now) and it would feel more "clean" to go online without them on my sd card.

At a minimum you need the hekate_ipl.ini for configuring the stock launch option in the first place, and for 7.x up you need whatever is involved in sept. This means that stock is not really launched in a stock way.

That's an issue with Tinfoil, not Hekate. There is probably a patched NRO somewhere that don't show that message.

So, i screwed up by trying to update my clean switch to 8.1.0 with hekate's stock mode. Ending with burn fuses.
The problem is now the switch seems to go to RCM, but it wont let me inject a payload. When i connect the usb c cable, the switch boots to Horizon.
Switch was on 2.3.0 before this.

Could the hekate_ipl be the problem? I grabbed it from the Kosmos pack. Atmosphere and hekate from github.

Code:
[config]
autoboot=0
autoboot_list=0
bootwait=1
verification=1
backlight=100
autohosoff=0
autonogc=1

is booting stock mode not normal for burning fuses ? you should better had used CFW (SYSNAND)

if the switch is in RCM it does not leave it alone without payload, but if the switch is off and you put in usb cable with power it boots up without any payload to stock and burns fuses when no autorcm is installed
but iirc ChoixDoujourNX enables AutoRCM as default if not manually disabled

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So my opinion is that they could age a bit better in the future, and maybe AMD will continue improving them via drivers like they tend to do. No guarantee there but they have done it in the past. Just a feeling I have.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    cyberpunk at 4k without DLSS/fidelityfx *might* exceed 12gb
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that game barely runs at native 4k
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it was some newer games and probably poorly optimized PS4 or PS5 ports
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    they definitely will age better but i feel dlss might outweigh that since it looks about as good as native resolution and much less demanding
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I played Cyberpunk on my old 2080 Ti it sucked lol
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    AMD could introduce something comparable to DLSS but nvidia's got a lot more experience with that
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
