Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[Dust2dust]

Hi can I get confirmation. Upgrading sd card on a OFW switch (can’t be hacked) I just copy over the Nintendo folder right? And it has to be FAT32 also or can be exFat?

Just copying the content from the original SD to the new SD card should work. If you want to play it safe, format the new one to FAT32. But as you're not using CFW, I guess the risk would be minimal to use exFAT if you really want to.

It's rare for the chip itself to be the problem. They are all almost the same. 95% of the time it's the soldering.

But to answer your question, yes it's likely that all the flex cables can just be inserted into a new chip. Assuming you get another lite modchip of the same variety as your current one. There are different kinds.

Again, I doubt this will fix it.

Even a "long" (1-2 cms extra) cable can create problems

@masagrator I always wanted to know the same, what do you think

Thank you one last question do i have to get the same exact chip (image 2) or can I get a different one as long as its lite?

limiting battery charge is pointless, any somewhat modern device with a rechargeable battery already has a circuit that prevents it from charging to a point that would be harmful for it

the best thing you can do for battery health is to leave your thing on charge as often as you can, then it's not charging/discharging and going through battery cycles

Can you link to this? Is it something you wrote? I would like to read it.

Modchip switch. Booting into black screen after Hekate logo, after updating to 18.0.1 on EMU
followed guide: Ultimate guide (can't post URL)

installed atmosphere 1.8.0 and booted fine. Now just booting into blackscreen after firmware update. I also can't get into hekate, the splash appears and then goes away. Please help me understand how i'm stupid.

edit: UPDATE YOUR FUSEE.BIN

Unfortunately, formatting your Switch won't clear its telemetry.

Taken from this thread, this is the only safe way I know of to "remove" problematic logs:

Any other way is probably not safe enough and ban may or may not be immediate.

alright thank you. I was VERY worried. I did back up my nand before I did anything else. So ty

I need help. After upgrading my sd card where should my emummc files be? And which can I delete? Cuz I have them in 2 places only right now. Inside the restore folder and restore/emummc. No where else. Which I find strange

I need help. After upgrading my sd card where should my emummc files be? And which can I delete? Cuz I have them in 2 places only right now. Inside the restore folder and restore/emummc. No where else. Which I find strange

The EmuNAND files should be stored on>

SDMC:/18.1.0/emuMMC/XX##/eMMC (on my case XX## is SD00)

Your NAND backup is on
SDMC:/backup/SERIALNUMBER

And if you want to restore your NAND backup you must put it on
SDMC:/backup/SERIALNUMBER/restore

THE BACKUP SHOULD BE STORED ON MULTIPLE LOCATIONS ON YOUR PC, OFFLINE MEDIA EXTERNAL HARDRIVES, ETC. AFTER THAT YOU DON'T NEED IT ON YOU SD CARD.

The restore one is needed on the SD Card ONLY if you plan to restore that backup soon.

The EmuNAND location(s) are needed for your EmuMMC works.

ok thanks but that didn't answer my question and did you look at my pic? cuz I don't have the bin files located like where you do.

Indeed I did answered your question, The folder you depict on the picture not inserted on the post, should be empty unless you are going to restore a NAND backup soon.

I have a question. I restored an old nand backup (fw6.0) on my switch and created an emummc. The issue I have is that I was able to update my sysnand but emummc is still on fw6.0 I want to update it and have cloned the sysnand but I have nothing installed so everything opens in applet mode. I tried to install some games but I keep getting this error 'checking if the software can be played'.

I tried to install hbmenu nsp from here but that just shows up as corrupted

Can someone please help me?

also what would happen if I just factory reset with emummc?

NVM i fixed it. Turns out the games I installed needed a higher firmware and maybe even the homebrew stuff which was why it seemed corrupt. Anyways I installed an old game and then updated emummc with daybreak.

Does anyone know how to use the SysDVR exefs patches to allow streaming incompatible games with sysdvr, when you're using syspatch rather than regular sigpatches?

No.

sigpatches only allow to run unsigned software. if SysDVR is incompatible with a game, ONLY a change on SysDVR can enable it.

Okay, so I'm planning on buying an unpatched Nintendo switch v1 (models made before july 2018) is it true that those specific models can update to the latest version of the switch without being patched. Also can I go online on MLB the show 24 for example and play online as long as it's a official version of the game that is not pirated or cracked?

Yes a console CAN NOT BE PATCHED once leaved the factory.

Currently looking at moving from sigpatch to sys-patch sysmodule. Should i remove sigpatch? If so whats the best way to do it?


Thanks

While both can coexist without conflict, you can reduce the clutter on your SD card as you don't really need two things doing the same thing at the same time.
To remove sigpatches, remove pretty much everything that's usually included in sigpatches archive file i.e.:

• folders es_patches and nfim_ctest from the atmosphere/exefs_patche folder.
• folders fs_patches and loader_patches from the atmosphere/kip_patches folder.
• patches.ini file from the bootloader folder.

Also, remove kip1patch=nosigchk line from the hekate_ipl.ini file.
That should be it. Don't forget to reboot afterwards.

Fantastic reply. Thanks very much for your help! Really appreciate it

I want to use some cheat codes for MLB 24 and I'm certain there is no anti-cheat in the game cuz I see a lot of people selling currency for dirt cheap and they accumulate it fast. Would I just search for codes for the game on this website and the same process of how people inject the codes but I just do that while being online? I'm gonna use the codes on online single player, meaning I'm playing on an online mode but its against the AI. i ask this because I see some people using codes online there just isn't really a tutorial that I can find for that. i only see it for offline unless its the same process

If you use cheats for online games, you will get your Switch banned and will no longer be able to play any online games.
