Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[Draxzelex]

Hey guys,
Can you help me out with the following:

I have a switch running atmosphere 0.9.1 and FW 8.0.1
I use Goldleaf/Tinfoil to install NSP's, but I cannot start them as I get a message to connect to the internet.

I read about the sigpatches and downloaded some which I uploaded into the atmosphere folder on the SD card. but still it doesn't work.

What do I need to do to be able to play the games I installed ?

Try ReiNX

I just wanna check before I update is MM2 update file ok on FW 8.0.1 or wat FW?

Also after making nand back up wat folder/files can I delete of SD card? Is it just everything in the back up folder?

Both the base game and update can be installed on firmware 7.X.

NAND dumps made in Hekate are stored in the /backup folder. Once you have made copies of those files, you do not need them on your SD card anymore.

Is it safe to install a modified nsp game??

Thanks for the info.
I got a few Corrupted games after updating to 8.0.1 with sx os. Is there a better installer than the one in sx os for nps files? To prevent that in future or is it fixed now?

Use the SX Installer homebrew application on their site.

Unless you are on a MacOS or Windows 10 computer, you can just transfer the files from one SD card to another. And the Switch supports up to 2 TB.

I am on a MacOS, what difference does this make?

Do I need to do anything differently if I am on a MacOS or windows 10 computer?

Thanks

So I have a first-gen switch that's on version 5.1.0 (upgraded from 4.1.0 to 5.1.0 with ChordujorNX to play certain games) with Atmosphere 0.8.3. I'm using nxdumptool 1.1.1 to backup NSP's of my 3 switch games: Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart & Smash Ultimate. (I also do a CRC32 checksum calculation along with each backup.) After backing up the games, I'm using Goldleaf 0.3 to install the backups to my micro SD. Mario Odyssey plays fine, but I'm having trouble with Mario Kart & Smash. After installing Mario Kart it keeps showing it as if it's in the cartridge, but there's nothing in the game slot. I click and nothing happens. After installing Smash every time I try to load it just gives me the error "The software was closed because an error occurred." and goes back to the home menu. I assume there's some additional steps I need to do for these specific games or were these found errors for the specific game and I just need to update my tools? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Both MacOS and certain builds of Windows 10 apply the archive bit to all files and folders they touch. This is an issue for the Switch folder which houses all homebrew applications and the Nintendo folder which holds all installed SD content. When the Switch folder has the archive bit applied, the homebrew menu shows no homebrew applications. When the Nintendo folder gets applied the archive bit, it messes up all of your games installed to the SD card. The way around this is either by using something that doesn't apply archive bits such as Total Commander for Windows or fixing the archive bits after the transfer with Hekate.

Ok. I notice in my OFW my tiles are black is that normal?
Also is firmware folder can evething be deleted there now? I have a 8.0.1 folder and and also over 200 files from 6.2 must not of been put in a folder in firmware folder

Not sure what you mean by your tiles being black? You also do not need to keep the firmware file folder unless you want to install the firmware again in the future.

hello everyone. I modded my switch using the SX Pro kit (i know that is not so popular around here) and Everything goes very well, but i got an annoying problem.

Before all procedure, my Switch was on OFW 6.0.1 and keep warning me to update with that popup, and i mod the switch with this OFW, ignoring that popup.

After all procedure (Nand backup, activate SXos (2.5.3), create the emunand [hidden], tried some backups, homebrews, etc) i get worried that somebody press the UPDATE button on the popup.

looking for a solution, i found that, if i enter on recover mode (vol up + down + power) and after load the screen turnoff, this popup should be vanished. AND WORKED, but only when i boot on OFW. Booting on CFW (or SXOs) that F**k popup keep showing itself.

There is anyway that i can remove it for good, from the CFW too?

Sorry if i dont explain myself in a good way, im really a noob on all this (And sorry for the poor english too).

Thanks for your time.

Long time stalker over the years. Finally have plans to get some CFW happening on a few diff systems.
Looking for some advice as to which way forward for my situation on the switch side of it.

I have a day one XAW70001 currently on 5.1.0 and was planning to get a new console for normal/online play and use the day one for CFW
Can't transfer user saves as is without updating system first.
Have a couple of other consoles for collectors purposes.
What do people suggest as the best way moving forward.

1. Update as is now to safely transfer user data to new Switch.
2. Use CFW to transfer user data if this is even possible (as long as this wouldn't affect the new Switch at all RE online play, Nintendo account etc)
3. Forget about the user saves altogether and for the main ones (Zelda, Odyssey and Skyrim) either enjoy replaying them on the new console or keep playing them on the CFW version being that they are not online games anyway.
4. Last option would be to check the firmware versions on some of my other "Collectors" switches. I have a Fortnite bundle one that is in the possibly patched @ XAW70019 and also an Odyssey one which I am sure would be in the not patched. Is there any advantage to having lower firmwares at this stage? I have noticed that people are updating the system to play newer games anyway. Is there any difference in updating the FW via the standard method compared to updating it via CFW other than fuse counts and being able to roll back firmware?

Thanks

I got a 1.0 switch. Can I do cold boot with it? sorry, just a lot of info on this console and not sure where to start.

 

[barelynotlegal]

figure i would ask here before i create a thread..
i was running reinx on 8.1.0 or 8.0 forgot, sorry. and i used sleep mode alot as i have to rcm thru pc. i went to work and i let my daughter and niece play it, i only use it with the dock and thru tv. so family can play. when i came home they said it asked to update. now im not sure if it was a software update or a tittle update. i got a couple of brand new games for the kids. but they said it updated and restarted now i have a black screen with no boot. i going to say a soft brick? now being in the dock it stays charged so i dont think its a dead battery. anyways of getting back? i have it "charging" from a wall charger as we speak. i do have a nand backup it was the first thing i did.
thanX in advance

Hey there!
Im new to the Switch scene and I bought a RCMloader One to inject the payloads.
Unfortunately I can't launch ReiNX. After looking at the ReiNX boot screen, I get a black screen and nothing happens.

My Switch:
Firmware 7.0.1
microSD card (tested with Fat32 and exFAT)
Ive attached my SD file structure
Im using the build in ReiNX payload of the RCMloader One (I can't tell which version it is)

@Draxzelex I updated kosmos to v13 using kosmos updater and my switch is on 8.0.0. As usual it asked me to reboot and when I did that it's stuck on Hekate screen. What to do?

1. This will most likely flag not just your hacked console but also your clean Switch
2. No
3. No

I'm on 8.1 OFW and recently setup an emummc on 8.1 and my switch was never hacked before. Based on your answer is that mean I might be at risk of being banned? Why? is there a reason that the OFW and CFW must not be on same version? Would you elaborate on that please
