Not necessarily. Selecting the exFAT option is generally preferred even though using exFAT is not preferred. This way, you will have exFAT support in the event you accidentally or on purpose boot with an exFAT formatted SD card. Otherwise, the console screen will stay black if try to boot CFW with an exFAT SD card without exFAT support.
Awesome thanks for all your help. Looks like I’m all set. Can you believe my main hiccup was I had old Hekate bin file on sdcard lol

Hello all, i've had my switch hacked for a while and i would like to revert back to "normal". i have 2 questions:
1- will i lose my save games? i've played several games since and i always used the sysnand,so if i remove the atmosphere files from the sd card and restore my sysnand, will i still have the saves on the sd?
2- witch files do i need to restore the nand? i have 2 folders with files from emmc (boot0_boot1 and raw_gpp) and also prod.keys. i followed the step by step guide (switch.homebrew.guide) and did a backup of everything they asked or recommanded.

Thanks

1. You will lose all save files except what was on your system when you made the sysMMC backup. Saves are stored on the eMMC.
2. You need to restore the rawnand, BOOT0, and BOOT1.

3.1.0 (Nightly) is the latest version I could find.
Try asking in the EdiZon Discord.

What do you mean? Does it still say Applet Mode when you use title override?

Updating to the latest Atmosphere should not have done anything to your save file, so I'm not sure what all you did. It's always a good idea to make periodic backups of important save files using JKSV.

“Fuses are burnt when you use the stock bootloader, or normally turn on the console, when running a firmware higher than the current fuse count.”

Ok I understand so without rcm on every boot will check and burn fuses to match OFW number

so how is everyone handling the fuse situation on OFW to play online ? Let them burn or try to save them in hope of some break through on a lower firmware


v1 unpatched with emmu/Atmos

Hi! I've got a Switch about a year ago and now I've finally decided to mod it. I've read the serial number guide the day I got my unit, and it was in the yellow region, so I had to check it myself. Didn't have a USB cable for this and didn't really bother at the time, but today I got the opportunity and it turned out mine is ipatched("Smashed the stack with a 0x0000 byte SETUP request!" in TegraRcmGUI).
I've tried to find info on how these can be hacked and the only solution points to SX Core modchip, whilst most exploit guides say that if the Switch is ipatched then there's no way of exploiting it (although to me it seems like there isn't a definitive hax guide like there is for 3DS/WiiU, so it was pretty hard to come by information from just googling...heck, even the FAQ in the tutorials section here says I'm screwed if my unit is ipatched...which is outdated now or what?). I've heard of it before, and when it came out I even remember reading how people RE'd the hell out of it to understand how the exploit works. But it seems like nothing came out of it, because I can't find a single trace of any exploit for ipatched Switches without that modchip (so, either a modchip-less implementation or a clone of the modchip). So, what I wanted to know is,
1 - Is the SX solution purely hardmod based and can't be done similarly to RCMSmash?
2 - if so, (just out of curiosity) I'd like to know the working principle behind it (I tried googling, didn't help any. or maybe it is described on switchbrew, but the name isn't mentioned, which ties in to question 3)
3 - why is it that any hacks guide tries to avoid even mentioning the modchip? (apart from one guide I found in my native language) it is the only way to hacked ipatched units as far as I can see, so not even mentioning it seems weird to me
4 - what are the drawbacks of the modchip, can it run Atmosphere/homebrew/Linux fine?
5 - is there any cheaper alternative to that modchip? (my Switch is on the latest f/w as of posting this, so pegaswitch and other low f/w version exploits are also out of the question)

is it still crazy risky to mod switch? i just want the smash bros training mode mod pack but dont want to buy a second switch for it and dont want to get banned from online.

Is there a way i can use the mods for a bit offline ? maybe even remove them somehow then go online without issues?

No just the chip for you and you can use Atmos with it , guides don’t mention it because it’s fairly new and most people haven’t gotten it , good luck

There is always a risk of getting banned when bringing a hacked console online.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
