I downloaded some ROM editing tools from filetrip, here, and when I run the program, it tries to install Strongvault Online Backup, which I know is a virus. Last time it got installed on my computer, it made my computer not turn on and I had to use my warranty to fix this.

Are these programs supposed to be there? I really hope not. Also, anyway to stop the install from attempting to install permanently (I can cancel the install and still use the real program).

I give up. I started the program to take the screenshot, and it started, but I had a brain fart and forgot how to take a screencap. Then, when I remembered how to do it, the real program started immediately, and I didn't change anything. So all I have is a shot of the files from the manual download.

For what it is worth I just checked it out and it worked fine. I have seen pokemon hacking tools laced with things in the past though so by all means report something if it turns out to be the case.

    @Arne214, I think (non homebrew) roms arent posted here
  • Arne214 @ Arne214:
    ah ok
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Damn that case is huge, but is cool.
  • D @ dadadad:
    I was installing mods for games, but when I removed the romfs folder, an error occurred. Now when I try to launch the game, I see a yellow screen, and I have to reboot the switch. Reinstalling the game didn't help. Can you advise me on what to do to launch the game without mods?
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @dadadad delete sd:\atmosphere\contents
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should find out from the mod dev how to uninstall it. Every mod is different on how you install/uninstall.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @The Real Jdbye Wouldn't that take out bunch other stuff also?
  • D @ dadadad:
    Is it safe to delete the entire atmosphere folder? I don't remember what else was there, like edizon and tesla menu are installed through atmosphere, is it not a problem, will I not damage the system? There were too many mods, I won’t be able to contact each one, nothing was said about deleting in the description.

    @BigOnYa nothing that can't easily be replaced

    The installation was only through rofms and in the game folder in content. What else can I do?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, I already told them about that and yet they make a thread
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Well I'm sure the mods will take care of it.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I took 3 years of Spanish in high school, ages ago but don't remb most of it. Like they say, if you don't use it, you lose it.
