hello everyone, quick noob question. Does the profile/save data transfer tool added in switch firmware 4.0.0 allow you to transfer your data from a 5.0.0+ console to a 4.1.0 one? or only same firmware on both?

I have a current firm switch with some eshop games, anyway to buy a new(exploitable) switch and transfer everything to it from 5.0.1?

No, the save transfer tool requieres the same firmware version and the highest version. Ao if you want to transfer saves from 5.0 to 4.1 you have to update 4.1 to 5.0 and then transfer.

So, there's no way to transfer saves to a PC or download saves through the Switch?

I have a question about CFW - when custom firmware does drop and we can use emunand, will we be able to use our cartridge savegames on the emunand? I'm on 4.1, for reference. I'd rather not lose all my hours in Zelda and Mario...

Do me a huge favor and add a section
Can I play games online on older fw
or
Can I go to the eshop while on a older fw
Which both of these questions will be no... until there is a work around. Which I don't see one in the near future

Should be able to. Installing emuNAND involves making a copy of your sysNAND on your SD Card, and all save files are stored on the system.

sadly you will need to update and re download all your purchased games

you will still be able to use Team xecuter when released

no, you can't update your games without updating the whole system. And if you want, you can obtain a copy of pokken DX (Be careful, only 000 cartridges have 3.0 on the cart. Info here) to update to 3.0 and install homebrew launcher.

THIS SHOULD BE STIKIED... Really.... so much people forget the basics of how a game update works.

When we hack our Switches and get CFW installed, will it be possible to go online with our (actually) legitimately purchased games?

I have Splatoon 2 and I am itching to play it, but I also want homebrew on the Switch.

With the Wii and the Wii U you could go online even after hacking it. Is that how the Switch is going to be after being hacked?

@SciresM would be the one to know, really.

I want to modify my botw save, I saw somewhere that it might be possible. If it's not yet, it looks like it will be soon-ish. I have firmware 4.1.0. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

you will have to wait. The exploit for 4.1 hasn't been released yet.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
    i need help with nusspli failed downloads, can someone respond to my thread? pretty please:wub:
