Plot twist: we've all been loading Atmosphere this entire time. No, I'm not even joking, everything that we've been loading has been using Atmosphere's code so it will work just like those, if not slightly better.When Atmosphere launches, will it be a payload, like SX OS, or will it be like Lakka, which is luck-based?
Thanks, next questions.
Is the AutoRCM installed by SX OS bound by SX OS? Or can you use any payload on it?
And is that same AutoRCM installed on the microSD card or the NAND?
i would never condone anyone downloading a piece of nintendos intelectual property in a way nintendo does not intend.can i aquire switch firmware 5.1 from somewhere? im wanting to try and update without burning fuses so i cant just install it via wifi on the console.
Hey guys, I just had a few things I wanted clarification and opinions on.
1. Can downloaded NSPs now be installed without the need for the SX Pro? So using either the Hekate method posted in this forum or ReiNX will allow it to play, correct?
2. I don't play online at all. I don't care about bans or whatever, however, I am apprehensive of even associating my long time Nintendo account with homebrew. While on the switch, it only has the BotW DLC along with a JP account that has Disgaea 5, I still wanted to preserve them for a secondary switch later on in the years.
Will there be issues if I completely unlink and and deactivate my account and factory restore it to have a throwaway account? Can I easily migrate my saves, especially Disgaea 5 since I heard it's encrypted, using Checkpoint on to the throwaway account? I already backed all the saves up. I just want to migrate the Disgaea 5 and BotW saves and I'm good.
3. Are there any major pitfalls in using NSPs aside from bans? Not things like requiring double space. Like serious stuff like bricks or something
4. Are some games not available in NSP format despite being on the eShop? Guess you have to use CDNSP? Can it access the JP eShop?
Anyway, I'm on 5.1.0 and using mostly Android to do everything since I don't have access to a PC atm. Really appreciate the help in advance. Thanks.
I now personally use AutoRCM and have 0 issues as long as I power off from Hekate. Performing a manual shutdown (holding power for 12 seconds) should avoid the same issues.Question about autrorcm..
My jig is getting a bit loose after about 2 weeks. Was wanting to know if it is still advised to stay away from autorcm? I always use sleep and it is plugged in when I'm not using it.
Yeah, it might have been asking to download/update the game by going online but those are blocked via the DNS settings. Not sure if you can download the game properly with those settings so you may need to unblock them to get the game.Hi guys. I'm sorry if this is a dumb question but here we go. I recently prepurchased overcooked 2 and I wasn't sure when it came out so I launched the home menu icon. Instead of loading the pop up that would tell you whether or not the game was released, it went into like a webpage loader, and it displayed a mostly blank page except for text that said 'Homebrew Launcher' and an Install/Run prompt below that. When I saw it I was confused because I don't have any sort of homebrew on my Switch. The only thing I can think of that would cause it would be DNS blocking? I have my DNS set to the values that you get from Switch Hacks guide to block the updates. Once again I'm sorry if this is a stupid question but I am just looking to see what went wrong? Thank you
Only un-link it if you have any valuable purchases worth saving or will be saving in the future. However since you must hack the Switch in order to do a NAND backup, I would suggest un-linking the account beforehand. I would also suggest linking a fake account to the console since you have nothing to lose by linking any Nintendo Account to the console. As for how to un-link it, factory resets don't do anything with regards to being banned so don't unlink it that way or even think about using a factory reset to save yourself from a ban as its been proven to not work (otherwise Nintendo wouldn't have put it in). Just un-link it the normal way (I believe you go to Users to do that).Quick question about nand backups. If I want to do a clean nand backup before installing homebrew/CFW/game backups (all offline), should I do it with my Nintendo Account linked or should I unlink it before nand backup? I would like to not have my account linked while doing homebrew and stuff but I would want to have it back if I restore the clean nand (no homebrew stuff anymore). Should I do a factory reset after the first nand backup (before homebrew) and one before restoring it? Just trying to minimize my account being flagged and stuck if I get banned. Any tips or suggestions?

If you update the firmware on the console, it will reboot and burn fuses. If you don't want to burn fuses, you can follow the tutorial on how to update without burning fuses. Otherwise, you can just update the firmware on the console by downloading it from Nintendo.
You can update with or without burning fuses. If you burn fuses, you will not be able to downgrade in case you want to enjoy the benefits of exploits that don't require a jig and USB cable/dongle. If you want to update without burning fuses, here is a tutorial on how to do so: https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-...nofficially-without-burning-any-fuses.507461/
There is an easier way of updating without burning fuses but you will have to wait until you get your SX Pro to do it. https://gbatemp.net/threads/an-easy...ch-firmware-without-burning-any-fuses.511847/ Bear in mind that this will prevent cartridge games from working on firmwares below 4.0.
Also note that both guides will have you install AutoRCM to prevent the fuses from being burnt.
