Is there some site / database, or any legal place I could download themes for the homemenu ?

Themezer.net

Do you have the latest sys-patch for the firmware you're on?

I downloaded the aio folder from sigmapatches website. I had to reinstall the folders because i constantly got corrupted files. I assume that all the patch sig and sys would be up to date. How do i know that and how do i update them please ?

Just received back my V2 switch with modchip installed , but since it's on firmware 19 on the emunand can i download and install the 18.1 firmware update?
If so , how can i do that ?

I downloaded the aio folder from sigmapatches website.

It should be fine, seeing that they've updated their files for 19.0.0 and Atmosphere 1.8.0-pre, but you never know what you're installing with those AIO packs. I'd recommend that you update the files manually instead of using AIO updaters and alike. It'll make troubleshooting much easier and you won't end up with all the extra stuff that you either don't use or usually don't need. I'm not saying that their stuff is bad and comes with some extra stuff, just talking in general. I do understand that AIOs are much more convenient for regular users.

How do i know that and how do i update them please ?

I'm personally using sys-patch only i.e. no sigpatches as they do the same thing.
If you're on 19.0.0, you should get this one. If you're on 18.1.0 or older, this one should be fine.
For installing games I recommend getting latest version of DBI.

I believe that there should be no trouble downgrading from 19.0.0 to 18.1.0 on emuNAND. Hekate can stay up-to-date, you shouldn't run into issues with it. As for Atmosphere, I'm not sure but I believe that you'll have to get 1.7.1 instead of the latest one as I'm not sure if 1.8.0 works with the sys-patch 1.5.2 properly. As for the rest of the homebrew apps, you'll have to manually check each one of them.

I'm yet to update my console to 19.0.0 but I'm still waiting to see what will Nintendo do about the issues 19.0.0 introduced to some of the users on their stock firmware Switches. Not sure if they are even real as I didn't have time to check them out myself. ^^

As for the downgrade process, just download 18.1.0 firmware files from a certain site(s) on the Internet and place them somewhere on your SD card. Next time you boot into your CFW, open up Album and find Daybreak and install the firmware you're downgrading to. Once you reboot, it should be working properly.

Hi!
I'd like to use Retroachiements with my Switch on CFW. I've never been online yet. I've read about Exosphere, Incognito, MITM... and I'm a bit lost.
What should I do if I want to get online to use Retroachievements? Is there a recent guide or something?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the answer. I noticed that my firmware was on 16.2 i downloaded 18.1.0 firmware and updated with daybreak. Atmosphere is on 1.8.0 Now whatever game i try to launch is written "Launch failed, go back to HOME" ... All my games are doing that. I tried to update the sys-patch with the version you told me but don't work neither. I tried to download the sys-patch from this one : https://gbatemp.net/download/sys-patch-1-5-2-binary-fw-18-1-0-atmosphere-1-7-1.38686/

So if i understand well, you suggest me to go back to atmosphere 1.7.1 and all would be fine ?

you missed to read the guides, need to install sigpatches and sys-patch read

I think that it wasn't the same guide that i followed the first time. Well, i did all the process from this guide, delete and reinstall all games i tried and had corrupted files at the beginning and now it works just fine

Thank you!

Hey guys I have a switch I bought off Aliexpress it has atmosphere 17.0.1 AMS 1.6.1 and I am trying to get the guts to upgrade to 18.1.0. . My switch when I am in tinfoil shows in my payloads if I want SX OS I have the option how should I go about upgrading my switch I do not know if I am using a mod chip either. The model is a HAC 001 and says Japan at the bottom I do not know if it helps any. It is a XAW00000 model. I need to update my atmosphere but again I have no idea if SX OS is involved and if I should use deepsea or retroreloaded.

SX OS only support up to firmware 11.0.0

I am not sure I even have SX OS but I do know on my system it says 17.0.1 ATMS 1.6.1 So how do I update my device? Tinfoil shows in the payloads SX OS and atmosphere I am not sure I even have SX OS

The only custom firmware available today is Atmosphere. You can ignore what it says on Tinfoil. Base on what you provided you are on Atmosphere.

You can but I like recommending users to setup 90DNS. It was established well before exosphere or dns.mitm and works just as well.

Hey! I'm in a predicament here. I'll explain the situation first. I have 2 switches, a switch lite, and a nodded day one switch. I want to play my tinfoil installed games on my switch lite, because I want to have my games and online capabilities in one place. I was about to press buy on the MIG switch, when I asked a question that I couldn't find online. Can I use the dumps of my tinfoil installed games on my switch lite via MIG switch without being banned???? I know MIG switch always gives a possibility on being banned, but can I use these tinfoil installed games without any additional risk? (FYI i don't plan to go online with other players ON THESE SPECIFIC games, but will on others. help!

No, Mig Switch can only use backups of physical games not digital games.

actually? i heard about a tool called switchsdtool or smth?

Dumping them is not the problem. Mig Switch is a flashcart that can only play dumps of physical games. Everyone knows this and its explained everywhere, even on their website.

I'm unable to run Pokemon Scarlet or Shield using the actual cartridge with it stating

Some necessary data could not be found.It will downloaded now

How do I fix that and allow the game that I own be run on a switch that I own but have hacked.
