Wow that looks like it actually worked:

I guess it was a bug with the Zadig version.

Also thanks for your help @Lacius. Why do you recommend Tinfoil over Goldleaf?

 

[Firion Hope]

So my hacks are a bit outdated now, but I'm using an old ReiNX on 4.1.0. I want to install emunand and have it on the latest version, and then update to the latest atmosphere with kosmos. I have the R4S dongle and I'm curious how to go about it, do I just update to the latest dongle firmware and do it that way or do I have to do something different since Im on a lower switch fw version?

glad to see you saved your switch, currently the only cfw that supports emuNAND is SX OS atmosphere has emuMMC you can find tutorials here on gbatemp. there is no risk in updating if its rcm exploitable switch just update and setup emummc

Historically, Goldleaf has had a lot of issues often solved by using DZ Tinfoil. In addition, Goldleaf historically rarely received updates (the last was in March, before the most recent one).

With the new version of Goldleaf, I don't know if that's still the case.

How does NSP installation work with Tinfoil? I tried going to the FIle Browser then the usb:/ or usbfs:/ but they show 0 folders.

You need to be running nut server on your computer.

A few questions:

1. Do you plan on using online play?
2. Is there a reason you're on 4.1.0? Is that where you want your sysNAND to be?
3. Which exploit do you want to use: Fusee gelee (RCM) or Deja Vu (browser)?
4. Do you care about preserving your fuse count for future downgrades?

1. No, at least not anytime soon.
2. I heard its the last exploitable version for certain exploits and figured its better to keep it there, but as long as I dont lose features by updating Im not opposed to going on a different one.
3. Whichever you think is better is fine.
4. I kind of do, I'd prefer to keep my options open if possible.

you need to keep your fuses if you want to downgrade to 4.1.0 again
fusee is better (in my opinion)
that depends which homebrew is installed some homebrew dont work with other fw but reinx works with 8.1.0 if you want to keep your fuses use choidujournx to update and not get banned. (if i remember correctly you need to use hekate everytime you boot if you want to keep your fuses)

Given your answers, here are my recommendations:

1. Make a NAND backup with Hekate if you haven't already. Store it somewhere safe.
2. Remove all CFW files/folders from your SD card (that would be folders like /sept/ and /atmosphere/)
3. Download the latest Atmosphere from github (currently 0.9.2)
4. Download the latest fusee-primary (next to Atmosphere)
5. Download these signature patches
6. Put Atmosphere and the signature patches onto your SD card
7. Download the 8.1.0 system update files
8. Put the 8.1.0 folder onto the root of your SD card
9. Download ChoiDujourDX and put it into the /switch/ folder on your SD card
10. Put the SD into your Switch
11. Boot your Switch into RCM
12. Launch Atmosphere using fusee-primary
13. 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.

If you're not going to use online play, and your Switch is unpatched, then you don't need to use an emuNAND.

If you prefer fusee gelee over Deja Vu, then it's highly unlikely you will ever see a need to downgrade to 4.1.0. That being said, you can still use AutoRCM to preserve your fuses so you can downgrade to 4.1.0 later if you want.

You can use the latest fusee-primary with your dongle.

When I tried to install Fire Emblem I got the message "NCA signature verification failed. This file is modified, and could be malicious. Enable 'install unsigned code' in the options menu to override this error and install."

Should I chance it or find another NSP?

 

[Deleted User]

if you 100% trust the source that you downloaded the nsp from enable it if you dont well, buy it legally.

I got it from one of the top threads on Black Umbrella.

i dont know anything about piracy sites except hbg shop due to the drama it caused.

It was probably just repacked. It should be able to be installed by enabling the "install unsigned code" option. If you don't trust the source, make sure you have a NAND backup stored somewhere safe beforehand.

XCI files aren't any safer.

So I had to modify your instructions a bit, because I cant launch rcm without the dongle as I dont have a cable to connect my pc to my switch. So I went to this site http://www.r4i-sdhc.com/R4SDongles.asp and downloaded the latest uf2 at the bottom and flashed it, and then downloaded the atmosphere pack at the bottom. So it launches fine and has the atmosphere splash screen come up before the normal switch one, but when I click on album nothing happens, even if I hold r or ZR. For reference my switch sd card looks like this (I cleaned it and deleted everything except the Nintendo folder before downloading the pack) any ideas why it wont boot into homebrew menu? Edit: I saw my dongle has an option for custom payloads, so I could flash it and put the latest fusee payload and then only download the bear essentials you mentioned if you think itll work?

Are you running emuMMC when you try to open the HBL?

 

[Firion Hope]

Are you running emuMMC when you try to open the HBL?

no, I think its just included in the pack in case you want to set it up later

 

[Deleted User]

Well i haven't used that pack, try to use KOSMOS instead of this? And is your dongle injecting fusee-primary.bin?

okay so I finally got it to work, I had to use the third party payload software for my dongle and flash that, then I had to rename the fusee payload to just payload.bin and with the other stuff in his post it now works
