Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[Draxzelex]

Thank you for your quick reply, I look in that folder and I do not see any boot entries in my original file from the hekate github. How can I create these boot entries? I just copy and pasted the new hekate bootloader into the root of my SD card and didn't touch anything else. Am I missing a step? hekate_ctcaer_5.5.4_Nyx_1.0.1 is the file im trying to use.

Where did you originally download your Hekate files from? Vanilla Hekate does not come with any boot entries in hekate_ipl.ini so you must have downloaded a pre-configured one if you used to use Hekate to launch Atmosphere.

yes, I have overlays, sysmodules, emiibo, can I delete them?

Delete one by one and you will find which one is causing the issue. If you can add an exception in the overlay or sysmodule, use the titleid of the game.I personally will start with emuibo first, and if you have a cheat engine, check if you have cheats enabled for this game (maybe too much cheats lines).

I just followed the nh server github guide and it seems to be working great. I placed a .nsp file via ftp on the SD card and tried to install with Goldleaf but I get an error saying that I got an old fw or old sigpatches. I'm running 10.2 + Atmosphere 18.1 and tried installning new sigpatches with AIO Updater app and chose "hekate.zip" rebooted and got the same error. Any idea where to start troubleshooting or how to fix this?

Thanks in advance!

What’s the required firmware of the nsp you want to install ? The answer might be there

Make sure you have the right patches corresponding to the bootloader you use to launch Atmosphere. Also Goldleaf is arguably the worst title installer. I would recommend using TinWoo Installer instead.

According to nsw2u it says 10.2.0, Untitled Goose Game. Another strange this, don't know if this relevant or any help related to my other question, but after I finished the guide and booted I can see all my old games but most of them are not playable and has ha cloud with an error over the game icon. Why was some deleted and some still playable. Whats the easiest way to make them with cloud playable again?

tried it with tinwoo before but allways failed to install and got the new sigpatches through tinwoo but still have the same problem

Just because you are using the newest patches doesn't mean you are using the correct ones for your specific bootloader. Remember that there are 2 sets of patches; one for Hekate and one for fusee. These patches are not interchangeable with one another.

Hi
Can you install games over your home network with tinwoo?
Id like to keep my backups on my nas and install from there, save messing with sd cards.
Or could also do with a file manager that can work over network / WiFi / ftp.

ok i boot in to hekate then amo so i need the hakate sigs and where can i find them ?

It features a LAN/Internet option so it might be possible to setup although I am afraid that I am unfamiliar with such a process.

Well just because you use Hekate doesn't mean you require the Hekate patches as technically, you can chainload fusee from Hekate and still boot into Atmosphere. Do you use fss0 or not?

 

[XPG0]

yh i rcm in to hekate then load the fusee-primary.bin to load in to cfw

 

[Draxzelex]

yh i rcm in to hekate then load the fusee-primary.bin to load in to cfw

Exactly so you don't need the Hekate patches but rather the fusee patches. You can grab those from here although I should also mention that fss0 is objectively superior to fusee.

 

[XPG0]

whats fss0 and how would i go about using it ?

Thanks, will chuck it on later and try

Its Hekate's own way of launching Atmosphere. Its faster than fusee, allows you to use Hekate to disable or enable nogc, and lets you pick whether you want to launch emuMMC or sysMMC. If you want to set it up, I recommend either grabbing it from SDSetup or DeepSea. I advise on using the former because it lets you pick what you want to download as opposed to the former.

Got it working with your tips above to use TinWoo instead. But anyone have any idea how to solve the the above in bold?

Hi,


I started using my Switch again after a long time and I can’t seem to boot into OFW or CFW. Here’s the timeline:

1. Put Switch into Airplane Mode. Made a NAND backup when Switch on on FW 5.1.0.
   
   
2. Used ReiNX for a while.
   
   
3. Needed to update FW to play newer games. Used ChoiDujourNX to update FW to a newer version (9.0) without burning fuses. This automatically enabled AutoRCM as part of its process. Installed atmosphere.
   
   
4. I must have booted without RCM at some point and burned fuses (oops!)
   
   
5. After a while I decided to test out Android using Switchroot on a different SD card. Played around with it for a while.
   
   
6. I put the CFW SD card back in but this wouldn't boot anymore. Only black screen.
   
   
7. I can still inject the Hekate payload. I'm advised to restore my NAND backup. This is successful.
   
   
8. Booting into OFW just gives me a blue screen (due to burned fuses I assume).
   
   
9. I try booting into Stock with Hekate using this guide: https://birbchirp.gitbook.io/switch...phere/optional-booting-atmosphere-with-hekate
   

But I get this error when launching: https://i.imgur.com/jziT72P.png

I try and boot into Atmosphere (risk of ban but I’m desperate) but get this error: https://i.imgur.com/OQhE0Jr.png

I’m using the latest version of Hekate (which confirms the fuses are burned: https://i.imgur.com/Vr1i65i.png )


I'm out of ideas and have no idea what the issue is so any advice would be greatly appreciated!


Thanks
