I’m having a lot of trouble with EXFAT at the moment. I have about 100gb of stuff on the card at the moment. If I backup my SD can I just transfer the files on to a new card formated to FAT32? If not is there a way to back up everything to reinstall later? Thanks dudes.
Oh, good. Thank you again! I'll post again if I have more questions.
Hello, I used the NH switch guide to get homebrew on my unpatched switch. I have done some basic C++ coding in the past and am interested in learning the ins and outs of hacking, modding , etc for the switch. Getting EmuMMC up and running was straight forward but i want to really begin to understand it all and not just follow instructions or wait for someone else to create the tool needed. I see tools like hekate that do much more than just what a hack your switch tutorial says but nowhere to actually learn or understand all of it. I know there isn't a mystical site that will grant me the knowledge but hope someone can point me in the right direction of how to learn a bit more in depth. Lots of modders and hackers that I've seen, not saying that this is the case here, see these details as trivial or easy and tend to brush interested noobs like me off and don't realize that a lot of times there is a big stretch between the simple programs you make in a classroom and the tools or programs created for these types of hacks. I love tinkering and prodding, love the prospect of data mining games and all that but can't seem to find adequate resources, not tutorials on how to implement existing hacks, that can point me in the right direction.
Hi, I was reading this answer and allow me to ask you. I'm New with cfw on Switch. A friend of mine did all the procedures. I have a 32gb SD Card and I bought one with 256gb. Do I have to format it as FAT32? I have some nsp filés, could you please informa the name of soft that split the files? Thnx in avance.
This Python script splits the files. You'll need Python installed to run it.

Yes, FAT32 is what you should format it with. exFAT works but is prone to corruption easily as the Switch's support for it is subpar.
If you want an emuMMC (basically a copy of your normal sysMMC operating system, like having two Switch's on one device) then there's a guide (https://nh-server.github.io/switch-guide/user_guide/emummc/making_emummc/) on how to partition your SD card to split between a Switch-formatted partition (that a PC won't be able to read or understand but from which the emuMMC will run) and a normal FAT32 partition for standard Switch use.
The Switch doesn't support the NTFS file system.

hi.. thank you very much for answering my question about switch streaming, really appreciate it.. Im sorry to ask so many questions.. the threads are very confusing because they contain many eras of knowledge, its a simple question, I have XAJ70064774513 serial number, wich tutorial can I follow to hack my switch to play pirated games? thank you very much
the serial code is in the 'patched' list by the way.. and I have updated my switch to the latest update available, thank you, Im not sure if its still hackable too many different threads, hoping for ur answer guys

Yes, I do understand all that. My console already has CFW (Kosmos) but, since i stopped going online the moment i installed it, it should be unbanned. What i'm trying to ask is if by using Lan play and or ldn_mitm i could be banned. I ask this, because i do know that people use those options to play online with their banned consoles, but didn't find any info on how safe they are for unbanned ones. Since my switch is (should?) be unbanned, and i would prefer it to stay so, i want to have a good notion of the risks involved.
Thanks again for your answers!

Is it possible to trade still in Pokemon Sword/Shield with a banned switch? I remember in LGP/E you could.
I have the switch I bought at launch running the original firmware. I been waiting for the homebrew community and I finally homebrewed my switch to run atmosphere. My question is, I recently purchased pokemon swords and shield. Do I need to update my current firmware to play the games and if so, how do I keep my homebrew? If I update my switch I am sure I can't run homebrew anymore right?
Thank you.
Thank you.
Well finally got my mits on a second switch for modding, so i have a few questions
What precautions are best practiced to lower ban risk?
is it wise much at all to use eShop/Link even a "Dummy" Nintendo Account ?
If it *IS* banned, will some things like the Youtube app still function?
Easy ways to look for for Bricker code outside of "if it looks sketch, GTFO" ?
and while atm i only have this basic bundle from switch.homebrew.guide and RetroArch, what's considered "essential" ?
i may be experienced off the 3DS side of 'temp and years of using my 3DS, but after finally having a spare Switch to mod? i'm about as freshly noob as it gets,

I finally have my two emuMMC configuration set up. I updated the one I will use online from 4.1.0 to the 9.0.1. Now that it has been updated, it can no longer read game cards. So far I've tried BotW and Let's Go Pikachu. BotW will boot in the 4.1.0 sysMMC and the 4.1.0 emuMMC. I'm not sure how to troubleshoot it.
Edit: Performing a factory reset failed to fix the issue.
Edit 2: So the issue is some update to the game card reader in 9.0.0 was implemented. I disabled the nogc patch in Hekate and now I'm all set.

If your console is patched and on the latest firmware, you might as well buy a new console and/or sell your current one. If you want to be 100% certain it is patched or not, follow this guide.
Like I said, LAN play involves no CFW or homebrew so the risk should be zero since it involves no modifications to your console. Idn_mitm however requires CFW so there is a ban risk.
Depending on the ban, certain services are blocked however all of the possibilities are related to online. Trading can be done online or locally.
Those games are playable on firmware 7.X. In addition, if your console is unpatched, then you will always be able to hack it and run CFW/homebrew because the exploit used is based on the hardware. If you need to update your firmware to play the games, you can use the homebrew application ChoiDujourNX
You can delete it from the hekate_ipl.ini file
You can use emuMMC as a ban shield by allocating all CFW/homebrew to one eMMC partition while performing legitimate online play in the other. You can use sysMMC and emuMMC interchangeably for these reasons although most people prefer emuMMC for CFW & homebrew while they use sysMMC for online shenanigans.
Its completely fine to use a dummy Nintendo Account online assuming it is not the one used with Kefir which has a very high ban risk.
While there are different types of bans, even third-party applications such as YouTube will cease to function because the console still has to go through Nintendo's servers to check if you are banned or not.
If you are not dumb, you can easily avoid brick code. Technically speaking, brick code exists even among common applications such as hacdiskmount if used incorrectly.
A NAND backup is essential. You can perform one with Hekate.
Why do you want to factory reset it in the first place?

I feel like school, back when I was actually in school, was more entertaining though, because of how much I get to interact with people, hang out with friends, and other stuff like that. All I get to talk to at work is my boring coworkers lol -

Anybody here have a Xbox series S and a series X, is the performance difference noticeable? Not worried about 4k. I have a series X but not a series S and was curious. (Reason- I was thinking of buying a series S for a second tv, for when grandkids come over, to keep them off my X)
