If you already hacked your switch. How do you make a clean nand backup that you can restore to go online
You cannot.
And i’ll be able to update my firmware without any risk of ban ?
If you update your firmware online after installing EmuNAND, you're going to wipe the EmuNAND partition installed into boot1.
you can check *censored*. Sorry i dont know if we are allowed to post website names. If is not allowed feel free to remove this comment.
You cannot so I suggest you edit your comment before a moderator does so or worse removes your post entirely.

Hi guys, just one short question...

I want to change my sd format from exfat to fat32, can I just copy the files onto my pc, format the card and then copy the files back to the sd card or are there any extra steps I need to be aware of?

Thanks in advance!

No i meant before setup Emunand
Yes as long as you restore your complete clean NAND before downloading the system update online.

All games on the Switch must go through verification on Nintendo's servers to be played online.

but what happens if i own a legit copy? there will be no problem with the game verification, but they will know that i'm using cfw (atmosphere) right?

Most likely yes in which case you risk a ban if you've ever booted CFW/homebrew but did not restore a clean hack-free NAND before going online.

Hi, I'm new to Switch and Switch hacking, I got the switch with XAW1005 which is hackable and ordered a 64gb memory card and RCMjig. My firmware is 4.1. Should I keep it at 4.1 or should I just upgrade to 6.2 using nintendo system update and then start backup and Reinx 2.0 since it works now on 6.2.

I'm on Windows so I can't use Fusee Gelee, and I got TegraRCM instead. What's the difference between TegraRCMGUI and TegraRCMSmash though? Which one should I use to inject payload? Thanks!

Should have just followed the original tutorial we all linked and recommended you because that is how you are going to go manually to firmware 6.0/6.1. Reposting for posterity: https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-...nofficially-without-burning-any-fuses.507461/

Hi, I'm new to Switch and Switch hacking, I got the switch with XAW1005 which is hackable and ordered a 64gb memory card and RCMjig. My firmware is 4.1. Should I keep it at 4.1 or should I just upgrade to 6.2 using nintendo system update and then start backup and Reinx 2.0 since it works now on 6.2.
If you must update your firmware, I highly recommend updating without burning fuses using the homebrew application ChoiDujourNX. Fuses prevent downgrading so if you don't burn them, you preserve a downgrade path for lower firmwares which can be useful for future exploits such as a hypothetical untethered coldboot hack.

I'm on Windows so I can't use Fusee Gelee, and I got TegraRCM instead. What's the difference between TegraRCMGUI and TegraRCMSmash though? Which one should I use to inject payload? Thanks!
What? Fusee Gelee works on Windows, Linux, MacOS, Android. TegraRCMSmash is Fusee Gelee, just for Windows.

Anyway the difference between TegaRCMGUI and TegraRCMSmash is that TegraRCMGUI is a GUI for TegraRCMSmash but it trades some functionality for a user-interface. I personally recommend TegraRCMSmash over TegraRCMGUI since there are issues exclusive to the GUI but not found in the original program.

Like Drax said earlier, TegraRCMSmash has no GUI (interface), but its really easy to use: drag the .bin of your payloader (f.ex: Hetake) into the TegraRCMSmash.exe (after entering RMC mode with the jig and the volUp+power) and its done

I have a question myself: I downloaded "NintendoSDK Firmware for NX 6.2.0-1.0" from "xb--something" to update with Choi. Is the right file?
Also, I read that Choi applies autoRCM automatically... I have to put autoRCM in the SD, or the Choi.nro has it build-in?

BTW: using Kosmos

If your plan is to update to firmware 6.2, then it is the correct file.

And for your second question, both ChoiDujour and ChoiDujourNX enable AutoRCM by default. ChoiDujourNX can allow you to toggle it off during the installation process but its not recommended as that will burn fuses.

Also AutoRCM is written to your NAND, not to the SD card. More specifically, its written in the boot0.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • 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
