What do you mean patches?.
Also how do you split files if using fat32?. I thought it be just a case of downloading .xci I guess and installing with awoo installer?
Don't use the term "sigpatches" and you will not be confused. There are 2 sets of patches; ES and FS patches. ES patches enable you to play unconverted .NSP files while FS patches allow you to launch converted .NSP files as well as install .XCI files. Without these patches, no game you download and install will work.I don't get sigpatches still. Cna you explain?. So I can't download a game and just install?.
Also how do you install via usb connection to the pc, is that with awoo installer. SO I download game then use awoo to install to switch to sd card?
After depleting my 3DS backlog I'm tempted to buy a switch .
Some questions:
1. Is unpatched switch future proof to play future games?
2. I'm mostly interested in Lite, (except if number one answer is "yes unpatched is future proof" then I will go Unpatched). Is it safe to buy patched lite now ? I'm afraid after buying it then I can't play future games because no future support for SX. Or V2 because lite might drift.
Basically I'm interested wether buying hard mod is advisable or not
I mean...I just told you which patches are for what types of files. But in practice, that doesn't really matter as the ES and FS patches are usually bundled together so as long as you have downloaded both, you don't need to worry about which patches to use. The patches have instructions on how to install them and typically all you do is put them on your SD card. The CFW will apply them as long as they are in the right place.How would I know which patch to use?, plus how do I install these patches. For example if I download a rom, how do i get the patch for it to play it on the switch?.
Yes that is perfectly fine. I should also add that SDSetup unfortunately no longer bundles patches so you should also download those which you can find here.Hey Guys, I was recently trying to update atmosphere and tinfoil but I have seemed to have messed up somewhere or deleted a file i shouldnt have. I downloaded the latest hektate files as well. With Hektate im getting an error Old nyx found there will be dragons. But the biggest issue is when launching into cfw I get an error stating missing ini or cfg files.
I am not sure where to proceed from here. Would it be possible to remove the cfw stuff and try to mod the switch again?
A friend recommended just downloading a zip from sdsetup and overwriting the existing files on the switch and trying that but I was not sure if that was safe
I'd recommend deleting your previous CFW files rather than overwriting them. If you're unsure of what to delete, just delete everything except your Nintendo folder (as this contains your games) as well as any mods in your contents older.is there anything i should delete from the switch before i download the files from sdsetup and the patches.
Also just for clarification, the process would essentially be to
1 download selected files from sdsetup
2 download patches
3 extract and transfer to switch and overwrite existing files?
also I'm on 9.2.0 currently so im not sure if this will also be an issue for this.
Thank you for the help as well I have been confused for the past 2 weeks on what to do
I've been holding out for an untethered cold boot exploit for the switch so that I don't have to use a second device to send a payload everytime I cold boot. Is something like this possible yet or do I still need a second device to send an exploit?
