is there some issue with the ip blocklist on the very latest firmware? i keep running into reddit threads saying stuff like news posts seem to come through on emummc even with exosphere being set up
i dont really think it should be much of an issue either way, with prodinfo being blanked out on emummc, but it still feels weird

Yes you need to setup DNSMitm if you blank out your serial number.

from those posts, the people supposedly did have their files setup in the hosts directory correctly and it stopped working after the update

17.0.x require you to block server communication if you blanked out your serial number or it is going to crash.

I think I've figured out what my issue is (games won't install via DBI, goldleaf crashing, etc.) I don't think my NAND has enough space - I partitioned my emuNAND the wrong way, or something.
DBI, lately, has been crashing my PC whenever I try and install something. My switch calculates the install size, but nothing else. Sometimes I get the error that I've got the wrong kind of USB cord.
What's the easiest way to get around this?

I'd suggest that you start from scratch, by following either one of the recommended guides.
Resizing your emuNAND partition will probably break your games and saves anyway so you'll need to reinstall them and restore your backed up game saves. if you really want just to resize your emuNAND, you can find the guide here.

Alright, starting from scratch it is.
Will I have to reinstall games even if I haven't made saves yet?

Hi
Complete noob to switch , though jailbreak ps3 back in the day.
Now I've got a unpatched switch collecting dust I've decided to use. Previous owner patched it to something in 2019.
Now if I update it , am I locked out in any way from hacking switch later on ? Or best to hack it first?

If it is unpatched you would be fine

Have you tried turning on "Airplane" mode before starting the game? Some games it will work doing that, some not.

No i haven't... but ill give it a shot, though someone suggested i use "LINKALHO" but i don't even know what it is.

If "Airplane" mode does not work, then yes Linkalho.

Can i easily swap microSD card after jail breaking switch?
I just bought a v2 and will play it on default until I grab some money to jailbreak (i will take to a place), meanwhile I will grab a 128GB microsd card that i have, my question is.
Can i ask to jail break with a 128GB and then later exchange to a 512?or the jailbreak will be locked to the 128 card?

You can upgrade your microSD at any time. Here's the guide.

please tell me there's a simple way to create an emummc that is bigger than 12gb but smaller than 55gb

You can make it any size you want.

Here's a video tutorial if you need one.

in hekate, i can make it many small sizes, then 12, then full and then a lot of 2x small sizes, which seem to make separate emummcs.
there is nothing between 12 and full size

Here's a video tutorial if you need one.

Thanks. I was afraid this was as simple as it gets...
I've given up on it btw. i'm taking the stupid 64gb

I was in the process of updating my Atmosphere to 1.6.2 and when it says it has full support for a firmware does that include the point releases as well?

For example the Unicorn Overlord demo require 17.0.1 and Atmosphere says it supports 17.0.0 would I assume its strictly that version or the 17.0.X versions as well?

Not necessarily, I guess? 17.0.1 introduced no changes to the actual code, so Atmosphere works perfectly fine on 17.0.1 as well.
