I've not been keeping up with switch stuff, is SX OS still the only cfw that can install .nsps from a usb stick? I know you can install over usb on others by connecting to pc, but is SX OS still the only one where you can just throw the .nsp on a usb stick and install it from there?

Thanks.
You misunderstand the concept of USB support. That is not a feature of CFW but rather of homebrew applications. Technically, it could have been implemented in homebrew applications as long as the author was aware of how to do it such as with libusbhsfs. To answer your question, there are homebrew applications that have gone out of their way to implement HDD support such as DZ and TinWoo installer.

I’m using tinfoil and SX installer I put nsp files on the SX card but some games are not installing and some can’t even see it.
MK base and update installed but all the DLC keep saying fake or garbage
Monster hunter rise nothing happened stuck on 0 mb.
Hyrule warrior calamity error nca
Luigi mansion won’t show up at all
Who want to be a million stuck 0mb
Whatever happened to TinWoo installer?

It says RCM OK with green background!

I injected hekate v5.5.2 and the console tells me to enter date and time.

How do I get to the album section where checkpoint is?

So it's been awhile since I've messed with Switch Homebrew, but if I have a original switch running the latest Atomsphere and hasn't been banned yet on Nintendo servers because I blocked the DNS since I originally hacked it, is there any safe way now to play my switch games online?

Im stuck on
Accessing the Homebrew Menu
Homebrew installed by placing an NRO file into the /switch folder on your SD card can be launched through the Homebrew Menu.

I have a hbmenu.nro file on the sdcard but not in the switch folder. Inside the switch folder is Checkpoint folder and daybreak.nro.

Do I have to move or copy the hbmenu.nro to the switch folder?

Unless you have a clean eMMC backup, you cannot take a hacked console online otherwise you risk getting banned. I should also mention that blocking the DNS has the same effects as being banned.

The hbmenu.nro does not need to be moved otherwise it would've been mentioned in the guide.

The jig is only for entering RCM. Once you are in RCM or even in CFW, it doesn't serve any purpose. I should also advise you to enable AutoRCM so that you do not need to use the jig ever again. You can read up on the ins and outs of AutoRCM here.

You can just check in Hekate to see if an emuMMC partition is detected/setup. Also as the site suggests, please refrain from double posting. If you need to say something else, simply edit your previous post.

You mentioned in your previous post that it asked you to disable Airplane Mode. Did you disable it?

EDIT:

I have linked my nintendo account to my switch and was able to transfer and receive data file to my switch. However, when i enter hekate and launch emummc, my old user is only there and the new account ive just linked and received save data on isnt there. i exited emummc, and i started my switch as normal and save file and new account is there.

Is there a way i can launch the emummc and have that new user there so i can use checkpoint?

Yes, it wasnt connecting to the internet because airplane mode was on, so I turned it off. I deleted my internet connection and added it again and now it seems to have connected to the internet.

I have encountered problem, it says switch unable to find the console that will send save data. Im trying to transfer my save file from my patched switch to this switch. Do I have to have same nintendo user signed in?
According to the official Nintendo support page, having the exact same Nintendo Account would make the transfer impossible although it does state that a Nintendo Account is required on both consoles.

In advance, I hope this doesn't create a duplicate post...

Did you create the emuMMC before or after the transfer?

I created emuMMC before the transfer.

Has any attempted to try to softmod the lite console yet? I'm curious because it may be an updated "Mariko" console with a different GPU but even Nintendo knows any game console manufacture that even tries to change the Graphic cards where the unsigned Arbriturary code is handle in the bottom that there is always a way to exploit a console many ways. I'm not backing down from a challenge.

So far you still need to install a SX Lite if you want CFW on the Switch lite, it could be possible to softmod, but no one has gotten one to work yet.

Then it is as I thought. When you create an emuMMC, what you are actually doing is creating a copy of your sysMMC and placing it on your SD card. Since you made the emuMMC before the transfer, it only coped what was in your sysMMC before the transfer. That also means any changes made to your sysMMC will not be reflected in emuMMC. Therefore in order to carry the save data over, you may have to remake the emuMMC again.

Are there any applications to check if a switch rom is corrupted or edited? My last switch bricked because of a corrupted switch rom.
Consoles being bricked due to games is limited to Let's Go Pikachu and another extremely obscure game so unless you ran one of those titles, I highly doubt your console was actually bricked. To answer your question, as long as you have an eMMC backup, you can recover from all software-based bricks. To add on, as long as you are getting games from a legitimate source, you have nothing to worry about.
