It is stored within the internal memory. Also that file is updated whenever you update your firmware which is why you shouldn't always update your firmware unless its absolutely mandatory or you're prepared to update every single game you have.

You cannot disable a piece of hardware; once its installed, its there forever. Modding a Switch Lite requires either the SX Lite modchip or one of its clones. Lastly, you can use Reverse-NX to trick the console into docked mode.

I don't understand how Nintendo is going to figure out where the games were downloaded from. Even in the even that they could, if Nintendo could scan for files on the SD card, everyone would be banned for having a partition for emuMMC or files for CFW/homebrew.

Thanks Draxzelex for the quick responce - Thanks for clearing that up, I will go find all the updates and only upgrade when I need to.

You can do this, but you could also just copy your emuMMC from one SD card to the other.


Your users and saves on your sysMMC are stored on the sysMMC, so they will be preserved no matter what you do to the SD card.

For the users and saves on your emuMMC, you will probably want to transfer your emuMMC from one SD card to the other, since the users and save files are stored on the emuMMC. Alternatively, you can backup decrypted versions of your save files using a tool like JKSV, and you can restore those saves on any Switch under any user using JKSV.


If your sysMMC is clean, you should update your sysMMC using the official method from the system settings. If you want to play online using your sysMMC, it must be on the latest version.

If your emuMMC is dirty, you should update the emuMMC using Daybreak. If you update your dirty emuMMC using the official method from the system settings, you will get banned. Your emuMMC should be on a relatively new version for game compatibility. 12.1.0 is supported by Atmosphere, so there's no reason not to update to this version using Daybreak on your emuMMC.

If you are not playing online and don't plan to play online, there's really no reason to even use an emuMMC.

Thank you very much. Its much clear now. which guide do you suggest to follow to migrate old sd card to new? thank you

@wiistat just so you know in case, the save files between the sysnand and the emunand will not interact with each other. You can copy the ones from your system when making the emunand so that it has it, but after that they will have separate save files.

Typically the sysnand would be for playing online games (kept clean). If you use your emunand for games other than that.

Thank you.

To all of you, the support and help here for newbies just mind blowing. thanks

Hi there
I'm finally decided to update my Hacked Switch. It's for now on Hekate 5.0 / Switch OS 8.1.

I saw that i can update to Hekate 5.5.8 / atmosphere-0.19.5- and OS 11.0 at least ( in order to play to Skyward sword) used to move with ChoixDuJourNX, but heard about Daybreak, if i get correctly, it can only be used after Atmosphere 10.X or something, so I should keep on ChoixDuJour for now, am i right ?

I plan to fully backup the SD before do it ( i dont want to lose games saves) , any other warning / advice before do it ? Anything to do with sigpatches ? I can also create a whole new SD Card with SDSetup as i got a new one bigger.

Thanks in advance for your help !

Is there any reason to need a Came Card in the Switch? Not sure why I had to get a Game Card, but I can not use it, due to the Game Card not able to be Read, even with Editing the BCT File.

Nobody should be using ChoiDujourNX. Update Atmosphere and use Daybreak to update your system.

Thanks for your answer. I'll then on my SD :
- replace atmosphere with the new one
- add DayBreak
- add new Switch OS

Then boot on hekate and use daybreak to update the switch. If anything else just let me know, i'll update the post once done !

 

[he11bringer]

So I have a problem, I was on 11.0.1 i think and i havent used my switch in awhileeeeeeeeeeeeee so i accidently clicked on start software update and now im on 12.1.0. when i try to boot into atmosphere(0.19) it just crashes, is there anything i can do? I can boot into hekate and go into OFW but dont know how to fix this... thank you in advance

A cpouple of points:

You should also update Hekate in the first step
Daybreak is included with Atmosphere once you update it

Update Atmosphere and Hekate to the latest version. Then you should be able to boot CFW. You also need to update sigpatches to install and launch games

This is mostly right. A few things:

1. It is recommended that you delete the atmosphere folder from the SD card first if you're updating from a very old version of Atmosphere.
2. If you are using Hekate, update it to the latest version too.
3. Daybreak comes with newer versions of Atmosphere.
4. Daybreak is a homebrew application. After you launch Atmosphere, you can find Daybreak in the Homebrew Launcher.

Update Atmosphere, Hekate (if you use it), and your signature patches all to the latest versions.

Signature patches: https://github.com/ITotalJustice/patches/releases/latest

Evrything worked as a charm. Thanks for your help and support

Update Atmosphere and Hekate to the latest version. Then you should be able to boot CFW. You also need to update sigpatches to install and launch games

it is on latest ver of atmo n hekate and ive just put in the sig patches suggested by you guys, it crashes and says error code 2128-0101 (0xca80) after i launch cfw (sysnand) on hekate also when i try to inject reboot_payload from the atmos folder it also does the same crash

What happens when you use the latest version of fusee-primary instead? (you can download this next to Atmosphere)

Good news on my end, I managed to replace my sd card reader and it works again!
Now onto questions again.xD

I'm having trouble installing xci files. I'm trying with tinwoo by usb, but it says failed to install.


Edit: Some xci files work. But a lot of them just don't. While nsp files work well.
Any good way to know which ones will work?

 

[Windsall]

Edit: nvm this post. I'm realizing that the sd card reader connectors can sometimes loosen up I guess. I tried my best to put the foam thingy as well as I could so that it stays connected.

 

[Windsall]

So far I haven't been able to install DLC, even as nsp files.

In gold leaf it says invalid NCA.
I have the latest sigpatches and have updated firmware as well as the games are patched.

How have people gotten DLC files to work?

 

[rob61]

I've been trying to get Mario Golf running on my unpatched SX OS with 10.2 without success. I used SAK to "strip" the xci file. My keys file is over 1 yr old so I'm wondering if that might be the issue (older games work fine, newer games don't on 10.2 firmware). Would an updated keys file help? If so, can I somehow take a keys file from another Switch I have (newer patched with the latest firmware) to get them?

Still depends on the firmware required for the patched version of mario golf, I believe base game is 12.0.1, so not sure about sx os patched version, I assume you can.

is it normal that the tesla overlay menu doesnt show up when docked ingame on a big screen? (it shows up but its hidden) when i go to the home menu it shows up no problem)
