backup your /bootloader/hekate_ipl.ini file to /bootloader/hekate_ipl.ini.bk and then download the attachment in this post:

Sigpatches (GBATemp) — get your Sigpatches here!

unzip it to the top level of your SDCard and allow it to overwrite anything you already have in place.

There will be a new hekate_ipl.ini file. Grab the Sigpatches line and copy it into your backup hekate_ipl.ini file.

Copy your .bk file into hekate_ipl.ini

Reboot

Done, done, done, done, reboot. Same error. "This software has closed because of an error" with no error code. Just the option to close. I uninstalled the game and removed any folders associated with it in /atmosphere/contents (none) and rebooted again. Then I used DBI to reinstall the base game and tried starting it. Same error with no error code.

I just dont understand.

Interesting. Backup your game save w/ JKSV.

With your backup secured, go into Settings -> Data Management then select your game and then go to delete game save.

Delete your game save.

Try to start the game.

Save is already backed up since I played it last. I keep pretty regular backups of my saves. I backed it up again just to be sure (both with DBI MTP responder and JKSV). Removed save data via Data Management. Just to be sure, I also rebooted.

See attached photo. 😡

Wow. These are all my best tricks, man!

Last ditch, delete the game and the games saves and reinstall the nsp.

e: I’ll try installing it on my latest updated V2.

I’ve already done that, but I’ll try again. So far I’ve tried everything you’ve asked me to try as well as:

Checking Atmosphere crash logs (nothing), checking Error logs in Settings (nothing), uninstalling the game and reinstalling only the base game, updating the base game to the latest update.

Nothing has worked. It’s only this game that doesn’t start.

Run maintenance mode and exit from it. It will recreate your ncmdb cache and solve issue.

Complete these steps​

  1. Ensure the console is powered off.
    • If the console does not respond, hold down the POWER Button for twelve seconds to force it to shut down.
  2. With the console powered off, hold down the volume up (+) and volume down (-) buttons, then press the POWER Button to turn the system on.
    • Be sure to maintain the volume buttons pressed down until the Maintenance Mode menu is displayed.

Hello again,
I have ran into new problem, I am currently trying to install tinfoil, however whenever I try to install it from applet mode, it say cannot lunch app, try again from the home menu, then there is a tinfoil app but when I click on it it would say the same thing.
If anyone is able to answer it, it would be big help

You need to install a game first. Catch-22.

DBI works in applet mode by design!

Use it to install a small game (like Othello.nsp at only 110M).
Who knows, you may like DBI and stop right there. :-)
(if you do like it be sure to give @duckbill007 a thumbs up!)

Once you have a title in your main screen, download the Tinfoil Self Installer .nro file And place it in /switch directory.

Then hold down the (R)ight shoulder button and click Othello…keep holding it down until hbmenu pops up.

Then click the Tinfoil.nro Installer.

Job done…


Look for list of Installers here (no need to limit yourself to having only one installer BTW):

It does not boot into Maintenance Mode. It instead boots RCM. I've verified this with TegraRCMGUI in Windows. AutoRCM is disabled in Hekate.

Edit: I was able to boot Maintenance Mode by first booting Hekate, holding Vol+ and Vol-, then selecting "Reboot to OFW". Maintenance Mode came up. I held power to shut down. Rebooted into Atmosphere and opened Final Fantasy IX aaaaaaand... See attached photo.

Many thanks @binkinator and @duckbill007 for the help!!

Does it exists an better cheating search engine than Edizon? Like PC to Switch or something that find the right codes when you know the values already.

I Got a real dumb question.
Can you hack a switch with a micro sd
like can you hack the micro sd then insert it into the switch and boom it's hacked ?

Only with a V1 but you still need a “jig” to put it into RCM and an injector to get the payload inside.
All others require a modchip to glitch the system to trick it into booting a payload.

I saw your other message but you have already tried what I would have suggested. The fact that installing a game causes the stats to appear seems like there must be something in the emunand that triggers the system to acknowledge the statistics for that game.

That is the only help I have my friend.

Strange. Still up from what I can see.
Post automatically merged:


I didn’t realize there was a corruption message. If you have only two games installed it is probably easier to back everything up, format the SDCard and start from scratch. if you need to backup your game saves before you format with Hekate you can use JKSV.

Would this resolve the "Nintendo Account" issue that my switch is experiencing so that I can actually start playing games again?
