Hey I got an RCM related problem I'm wondering if anyone has the solution to: I'm getting update nag so I changed my Wi-fi settings to block nintendo's servers, have auto RCM enabled (because its so annoying to get into RCM otherwise) but I'm still getting update nag). I was told to change some settings in maintenance mode but I can't access with auto RCM (I was told to launch any FW in hekate and immediately hold + and - but it just loops me back to hekate...) Is there any other way to get in maintenance mode or some other way to remove update nag?
If you have AutoRCM installed, why not update? Keeping AutoRCM installed will prevent your fuse count from changing, allowing you to downgrade later if you want.
Also, if you are using CFW, you should not connect to the internet without 90DNS and/or Incognito installed. In addition to preventing auto updates, it will also prevent you from being banned.
had a question revolving around emunand and ofw about dlcs. If i ran my cartridge botw in emunand with the dlc's, and then proceeded to go into ofw (with no 90dns) afterwards, would that light any redflags by nintendo?
Nothing you do on your dirty emuNAND should affect your clean sysNAND.
My understanding that now I should:
- Find 8.1 update. Use something to update without burning fuses?
If you don't care about online play, then you should use ChoiDujourNX to update to 8.1.0. If you don't want to burn fuses, ChoiDujourNX will automatically install AutoRCM during the update process.
- Add some keys? So that games work?
When you update, you need to make sure you also update your CFW and signature patches for game backups to work.
- What about the saved games? Will it continue working/saved data present. Or do I need to do something?
Save games should be unaffected by a system update. It is recommended that you use Checkpoint to periodically backup decrypted versions of all important save games and store them somewhere safe online, just in case something happens to your Switch.
Edit1: Is it safe to update to 8.1 directly? or I need to do 7.0.0 -> 7.0.1 -> 8.0.0 -> 8.0.1 -> 8.1.0?
You can update to 8.1.0 directly. There is no reason to do it the other way.
I recommend following these instructions to get everything working and update to 8.1.0, assuming you don't care about online play:
- Remove all CFW files/folders from your SD card (that would be folders like /sept/ and /atmosphere/)
- Download the latest Atmosphere from github (currently 0.9.2)
- Download the latest fusee-primary (next to Atmosphere)
- Download these signature patches
- Put Atmosphere and the signature patches onto your SD card
- Download the 8.1.0 system update files
- Put the 8.1.0 folder onto the root of your SD card
- Download ChoiDujourDX and put it into the /switch/ folder on your SD card
- Put the SD into your Switch
- Boot your Switch into RCM
- Launch Atmosphere using fusee-primary
- Update to 8.1.0 using ChoiDujourDX. If you don't want AutoRCM installed as a way to preserve fuses and/or conveniently load RCM, make sure you untick that option. If you do want AutoRCM installed, keep that option ticked. If your SD card is formatted as exFAT, make sure you install "8.1.0 (exFAT)" in ChoiDujourDX.
