uhhh yeah

lower versions of hekate don't support 6.2 due to the black magic nintendo pulled securing their console lol

version 4.5 or 4.6 should work fine

One last question mate, I now have the tsec keys, fuses and nand backed up. What is the best way to convert xci to nsp. Ideally via the console but via pc will also be ok. Thanks again mate i appreciate your replies. I followed one method but when I went to run kezplez nx before using zerotwoxci it just showed software was closed due to error

zerotwoxci on console and 4nxci or any of the others on PC

what is the homebrew app i need that will allow me to boot the cfw menu homescreen, remove my sd card (so i can load games) and insert back in swich and reload the bootloader? without having to rejig

 

[ggmkp]

After installing cfw (sx os) and enabling emunand
I can't play any of my eshop games that I purchased...

It's asking me to download them as the software is not currently on the console.
How can I redownload and play my games?

Do I need to find a pirated xci or nsp file and play that way?

I don't think there is such a homebrew application.

Did you make a copy of your Nintendo folder and rename it to Emutendo?

Did you make a copy of your Nintendo folder and rename it to Emutendo?

I'm using the sx pro with hidden emunand partition in SD. I now have 2 folders: Emutendo and Nintendo.
So where do I copy the backup of original Nintendo folder?

And do you know if I can update games online using Emunand with stealth mode enabled?

SX OS created an Emutendo folder when you first made the EmuNAND partition but I don't think its a copy of your Nintendo folder. Delete the old one, make a copy of your Nintendo folder, and rename it to Emutendo.

For your second question, you cannot update games online with Stealth Mode enabled (that would defeat the purpose of Stealth Mode) but you can update your games offline by installing the respective updates in .NSP format.

Thank you!
One last quick question. Do I need to have both Emutendo and Nintendo folder? I just don't have enough space in sd card to have 2 copies of my games

The Nintendo folder stores your games for SysNAND while the Emutendo folder stores your games for EmuNAND. Unless you don't want to go through the hassle of moving one of these folders onto the SD card whenever you want to play on SysNAND/EmuNAND, you need both.

Looking for advice, I want to hack/exploit etc. When I buy this system in the future, should I buy a new one, or a used one? If used, what version should I be looking for?

Pay attention to the serial number. Since the exploit is hardware-based, not software-based, firmware is irrelevant. But since we can't just pry open the consoles to take a look underneath the hood, we instead compare the serial number to a list of patched and unpatched units. The place where you can find the list is right here under the pinned threads.

So with your help I managed to get this working. Ive installed Mario Bros Deluxe xci and its works great but ive tried with good dumps of Mario Kart 8 and Mario Odyssey but always get software needs update message. Im running 6.2 firmware and have the 001 version of odyssey and the 002 version of MK8 so they should be the latest versions, any idea why i always get the message and cant start the games please? I did get a bit on installing both these games that says Getting Tic size Ticket installation failed! this may not be an issue depending on your usecase Proceed with caution!
Not sure what that means as then it says installing ncas which completes fine. Any help greatly appreciated
