Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

My bad, how about the other question?

You can but mod doesn't really work for online play, just going to get you banned for using it online, you are fine to use it offline, as for your other question there is a paid shop for tinfoil, as for XCI/NSP google is your friend use that.

whenever I did the reboot to bootloader/update.bin it would lead me in to sys cfw

Weird, so someone (or you) deliberately swapped the update.bin with the fusee.bin or something? Since it boots into sysNAND CFW? And not into Hekate?

so what I did after clicking on it I pressed volume down & it led me back into hakate

Yep, I definitely don't know what's going on your Switch. As I said, I have zero experience with hardmodded Switches. Different people are following different tutorials available online, leading to even more different setups. I doubt that there are two nearly identical setups.

so can you guide me on the format thing

I've already posted here, just make sure to adjust where necessary.

I tried haku33 but it didn't work, should I just go with the normal format

Only if you've already made a at least one NAND backup.

I did remove all the apps that were installed on it deleted the old user & created a new one, should I just do the regular format that is in the settings?

I would make a NAND backup right now and attempt the usual factory reset and, if it works, great. If not, restore the old backup and do not attempt to factory reset.

& Also what's with the keydump error thing when it load into tegraexplorer? Did I do something wrong with the console that it gives me that message or is it just a regular message that pops up on that menu?

I guess you need to update your Lockpick_RCM and dump the up-to-date ones?

& Why is it booting into that menu instead of directly booting into hekate? Is it because something got messed up on the sd card?

Can't say for sure, it could be that you've swapped some of the payloads around. For example, I use the Reboot to Payload app on my Switch to reboot into hekate's payload instead of usual Atmosphere payload i.e. I just renamed hekate*.bin to reboot_payload.bin and removed the old one. Something similar must have been done to your Switch as well.

If you remove your SD card and you can boot into OFW while holding both volume buttons without an issue and if you get to No SD screen if you try to boot normally, I'd say that you're good to go to backup your SD card, then format it and set it up again from scratch by following NH Switch Guide.

Thanks for the info.
Though, Google is your enemy as much at it is your friend.

So it sounds like I updated the firmware in the emu mmc, and that’s why my system still shows 10.0.4, right?

I followed the guide you linked. Still a yellow screen when loading the emu mmc. Ofw and cfw on the sys will load up just fine. It’s only the emu nand that gives the yellow screen. The only thing I can think is maybe my card needs reformatted because something is corrupted and just start completely fresh. Would that be my next step? If it’s not that, I’m completely lost.

Still a yellow screen when loading the emu mmc.

Can you post your hekate_ipl.ini? It could be outdated and still using fusee-secondary.bin or something which has been deprecated for a while.

If stock still boots, then you could try to recreate your emuMMC.

Remeber this will wipe all of your emuNAND, this means saves, additionally installed nsp's and more!

1. Select "Create emuMMC" under emuMMC in hekate and select your emuNAND partition/file.
2. Then hit "Change emuMMC" and select the same thing as you did before.
3. Last copy the /Nintendo folder into /emuMMC/RAW1, so you have /emuMMC/RAW1/Nintendo.

After that your emuMMC should be a copy of your sysNAND again.

You can also use this as an opportunity to update your games in stock for the emuNAND beforehand

Is there any way to find if my Joy-Cons are genuine or fake without opening it ?

You mean like if it is oem or third party?

 

[forgotten-865]

Yes

 

[Hayato213]

Yes

If it is oem you will be able to update joycon firmware officially, and see it's serial number, if it third party you have to use third party updating too to update firmware.

I already started the nuclear option a few days ago and am now just getting back to it and this post tonight. I reformatted and followed the NH guide, and I’m finally back into the emu mmc. I’ll remember this thread if I ever start having that issue again. I gave up all the saves I ever had, but eh, I’m not worried about them. I wasn’t in the middle of anything.

I’m back on 1.8.0. Will that be sufficient for Prime 4 after updating the fw to 19.0.1 and using the sdk downgrade or whatever needs done?

Also, are the correct sigpatches the same ones available today? I’ve installed syspatch, but I’ve read to have the patches as a backup. Or since I’m on older fw and atmosphere I don’t need them at all?

Is there a way to get the saves from SYSMMC and import them into the games I have on EMUMMC?

I think 90DNS is blocking my switch's browser entirely because every page I try to open brings up the "not available" message

Yeah, since a recent update the browser checks if it can reach Nintendos servers

Currently no

Currently no

Alright, thanks for clarifying. Kind of related to my previous questions but can I go around a required software update? I want to play CTGPDX but it only supports 3.0.3
