Hacking Discussion Switch backup loading using Atmosphere-NX LayeredFS

[Hozu]

I haven't been following Switch stuff since I don't have one yet, but is there a way for people to make their own backups to use with this backup loader?

That's pretty cool, i might try using this with some demos that i could download from the eshop.

Someone has a fix for the "Section 0 is corrupted" error?

(error shows up when extracting some NCAs)

It means you are missing some of the keys. You must have all keys for successful extract.

Nobody said it will keep you 100% safe. In fact nobody even mentioned being 100% safe. Everyone knows modifying your Switch in any way will increase the chances of being banned.

I thought the person you were replying to was asking if it was worth buying a 2nd switch.

 

[Nawashi]

it needs and nca and yes it's a cmd command, you need to navigate to the hactool folder and rename the part "test.nca" with the name of your nca

a bunch of 0's and then "Failed to read section!"

Is anyone else stuck at the loading screen when trying this? Does that typically mean the donor and the game I want to play aren't compatible?

No. Wait for a better more hassle free way aka SX Pro.

Well how long do I have to wait for? lol.

If you were interested in buying the SX Pro you would have to wait at least a month to receive it and some sellers have raised the price.

Not long now. They are shipping soon

You're wrong
That's all I'm going to say

The term plug and play originally came from windows in the 90s which specifies that you didn't have to do manual configurations to make the device get detected by the system

In essence the sx dongle is plug and play because it gets detected by the switch without manual configurations.

"I don't know why you're wrong, but I know you're wrong. Here is a supposed origin of the term to make me feel smart". Is essentially your post. Don't make statements you can't back up.

The term for computer was originally a job for humans and has evolved to identify machines. It doesn't matter what form a word originally took, all that matters is how they are used today.

Anyone can help? I've tried using Stardew Valley as a donor for Puyo Puyo and got stuck on the loading screen then I tried super mario odyssey as a donor for donkey kong country and I still get stuck on the black loading screen

TX option is still the best no matter how much this “back up loader” is worked on. Not that it isn’t a good way to do it for free, but TX doesn’t need any of these complicated steps to pirate games

We wont either in a month or maybe a bit more. Its about patience.

The end result is the same. It's the best method by far to play "backup" while others are checking their tracking number.

Yesterday, there are some painful steps.
Now, you just have to enter a .xci, clic a button, copy files, finish. Sooooo complicated.
Tomorrow, it will be so easy.

Layeredfs way = free
TX way = paid

Which is better?

I did everything in the tutorial and when i launch Mario Odysee cart, the cart runs instead of whats on the SD card. any ideas?

Did someone successfully ran Super Mario Odyssey with this method (excluding Splatoon 2)?
I've tried 5 different games and neither of those worked.
