So I don't know this will work because I bought the console yesterday and i saw that came with firmware 8.0.
Well, as I said, it’s a Mariko unit, so Fusée won’t work on it. If you want hacks keep it on 8.0.1:
If it’s on 8.0.1 or lower keep it there, an exploit that would allow you to run CFW with almost all features is confirmed to exist for 8.0.1. If it’s on 8.1.0 or higher you’re pretty much fucked in terms of software exploits and will have to rely on Gateway’s modchip if it ever releases.

Screwed right now, but Team Xecture announce a new device that would work for patched Switches and Mariko boards.
no chance of a software based thing? I cannot buy things over the internet and i barely have enough money to pay for all the necessities. The switch was a gift from my cousin.

Is there anything that will allow me to switch between cfw emunand and ofw nand without powering down the console and booting again? SX OS user, if that matters. I play games (legit carts) online occasionally, but the pain of having to reboot and inject payload (using autoRCM so as to not burn fuses) is a deterrent to doing it(I'm lazy).

edit: just realized that this wasn't the n00b question thread

i need for xaj7005 :(
XAJ7005 is probably patched, but you should test it to be sure. If it is on 4.1.0 and has never connected to the internet, it is still hackable even if it is patched.

You can reboot to Hekate from the homebrew launcher if you're using Atmosphere. I don't know or care about what's possible with SX OS.

Nope, if it’s unpatched firmware doesn’t matter, so it’s fine :).
(Only exception is when a new firm releases and CFW hasn’t added support yet)

Hello Is serial XKJ40003987311 patched? I'm planning to buy a jig so i want to know if its worth it:lol::switch:
You should read the op next time. There is described that xkw and xkj (or however the numbers are) are the mariko revisions. And by the way, your console comes with the red box.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • 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
