Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

Is there a way to play games from a network or USB drive instead of installing to emuMMC in Atmosphere?

That was only possible with SX OS

ACNH has bummed out on me today, giving me 'the software was closed because an error occurred' screen.

MOVED TO OWN THREAD HERE:

so it doesnt get too lost

Seems like my right joycon rail stopped working randomly. The joycon doesn't get recognized as connected.
I've always used a jig, no paper clips etc., but I guess even the jig can damage it.
Generally not a big deal, since I never use the Switch portable, but I'm still kinda bummed about it.

I can enter RCM just fine with the jig, but could that break too in the future?

Late edit: it was the joycon, not the Switch.

Did you try other joycons?

Don't have another right joycon. Could it be the joycon itself? I'm inclined to think it's the rail cause of the jig use.

Hey, I have a switch that I haven't touched in a while.

It's currently on firmware 12.0.2 and i want to update it to preferably the latest firmware (16.0.3)
It is currently running atmosphere using hetake -> payload -> fusee-primary.bin with my Sx Ox.

Is it safe to go directly from 12.0.2 to 16.0.3 with ChoiDujourNX or Daybreak?
If so should i update all programs such as atmosphere, hetake and choi/Daybreak before updating firmware?

sorry if I sound rusty I basically haven't used it in a very long time. Appreciate replies

EDIT. I think I figured it out!

ELI10: I wanna learn how to install updates for my firmware, cfw, atmosphere and hekate, how do I update them?

I really don't know or understand switch hacking, I bought an already hacked switch and don't know much about switch hacking.
Please give a simple step by step guide without too many big words and abbreviations.

Rentry guide is good for this.

That is correct, 16.0.3 is the latest firmware and there is CFW support for it.
