Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[kruptah]

Successfully using home-brew now with atmosphere which is really cool, but what I'm after is to play that new Zelda asap.

Will I be using SX OS for this and is there anything else that is worth a try?

Also, SX OS with argon on my microSD has a 'BOOT.DAT?' error after initializing.

I've downloaded boot.dat and payload.bin but need to know where to place them in my microSD.

Thank you.

Hey everyone,
I'm new to switch cfw-s, I have ReinX installed on my switch and I'm trying to get some mods working with Skyrim.
I saw that most topics about this claim that LayerdFS, the tool used to mod the game, works well with Athmosphere but doesn't work with ReinX, however these posts were all from 2018.
I also tried following this guide, but without success - I don't have checkmarks near my .kip files: https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-make-reinx-work-with-layeredfs-and-mods-including-qlaunch.518947/ (it's one of the worst written tutorials i've ever seen)

Can anyone troubleshoot me on this? Did you manage to get LayeredFS working on ReinX?
Do I have to change my OS to atmosphere? if yes, how do I do that?

Thanks!

Trying to run xci and nap files on my modded switch with firmware version 9.0.0

Does SX OS even work on version 9.0.0?

If not how am I to play the new Zelda, can you please recommend a way?

I know close to nothing about switch stuff, but based on what I've read, there hasn't been an update to offer 9.0.0 with sx os, so you'd have to use atmosphere 'til then. no idea if that's a big undertaking just for one game.

No, SX OS doesn’t support 9.0.0 CFW yet. But Zelda only needs 8.1.0.

Atmosphere cannot run xci and nap files just home-brew only am I right?

Going to try the way of Gold Leaf and Tinfoil home-brews to view images.

Did you also try the sigpatches from the sigpatches thread? People write there that the jonnies patches works fine for them if they boot with hekate.

Atmosphere is able to install and load NSPs. But it can’t mount XCI like SX OS.

Yeah I tried those. Dropped them inside atmosphere folder and still get error invalis NCA(4518). Might be missing sigpatches or a too low firmware. Lol I had never had so many damn problems with a jailbroken console. This is crazy man..

Will have to inquire about loading NSP's with atmosphere, can you give me a quick run down and maybe recommend an easy xci to nap convertor for OS X?

Thanks.

4NXCI.

Downloading now, thanks.

 

[Christian Rosado]

4NXCI.

Yeah, 0.7.2 - Quick bugfix Gold Leaf

 

[pLaYeR^^]

Yeah, 0.7.2 - Quick bugfix Gold Leaf

Idk man, normally it should work with simply copy and paste.

 

[Christian Rosado]

Yeah, 0.7.2 - Quick bugfix Gold Leaf

Do you use EMu nand by any chance? And with what do you boot?

What's the EMUMMC partition of my microSD card for?

Noticed it was there initially after setting up, but after completing my way through the set up process via guide the EMUMMC was no longer available.

Just reformatted my microSD and wondering if I need to be copying anything from my initial setups home directory that I have saved?

Thanks.

Not sure where to ask this but will SD card speed effect framerates based on speed? Is a card marked Micro SDXC I, U1, and (10) work well with installed NSPs?

I wanted a larger card. My old card was SDXCI, U3, and v30. I just want to know if there'll be a visible difference anywhere besides loading times. I do know the new one is a bit slower but if it doesnt effect performance in game I dont mind.

Games are ran from the switch's RAM, loaded from the SD card. Slower card speeds affects loading times, but not framerates.

PLEASE ADVISE

Just ran Goldleaf and installed some nsp files to my SD card and they both now show in with my games, but will not launch as they require a download that won't initialize.

With my Switch having a firmware version of 9.0.0 is there anything I can use that supports piracy?

It would seem ReiNX and SXOS do not support version 9.0.0 yet so I'm under the impression I cannot play any xci or nsp files, correct?

Thanks in advance...

Make sure you're using the latest signature patches. Make sure you are installing the games and not just the game updates.
