Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[Ichigo1000]

I recently rehacked my switch from scratch and tried to restore a save from EDIZON to CHECKPOINT. I restored the saves and it restores it as if the game has never been played before.. Are the saves different? I know they arent corrupt because I have restored them before a long time ago

- Latest Atmosphere
- emummc 12.0.2
- used edizon to backup on 9.0.0 emummc
- tried restoring on checkpoint on 12.0.2 after putting the Edizon saves into the respectable games directories in Checkpoint
- tried restoring on 4 different games, after restoring with checkpoint, it appears as if i deleted the save and started a fresh new game

I think you need to have a save for the particulr game already on your Switch before you can restore. So if you rehacked your Switch try to play the game up to a point where a save is created, then exit the game and restore your save. I am not completely sure about it but I think that it how it works.

im planing to buy switch lite.
can it be hacked? and how easy it is, is it a permanent hack and is it softmod or a hardmod?

also, is 185€ a good price for a new switch lite in your opinion?

Yes i've previously had a save before and the problem still persists. Do you know if edizon still works? because ive tried it and it just seems to crash everytime.even on the newest version and that is the reason i moved to checkpoint

I don't now about Edizon. However Checkpoint has issues on 12.x afaik. SciresM made a mod that works, is that the one you are using? If not try that. Alternatively you can use JKSV

jksv seems to result in the same thing, i have just tried the sciresm fork, no luck too. this is weird

Can I just copy all my contents from my small microsd card to the newer SD card?

The only way to hack a Switch Lite currently is with the SX Lite modchip. As the name implies, it requires soldering which makes it fall into the category of hardmod. However unless you know how to solder, you will be hard pressed to find an installer as Nintendo has sent C&D letters to every installer effectively putting them out of business. Even if you have soldering experience, tracking them down is even harder as Nintendo has also pressured all resellers of the product. And finally, due to the company that originally making them being no longer active, prices for the SX Lite are through the roof. If you want to hack a Switch, you are better off buying an unpatched Switch.

Can someone help me out here, I wanted to know if I can copy all my contents from my microsd card to my newer sdcard, on my jailbroken switch. I am running out of space so I needed a larger microsd?

Can I run switch backups from an external hd?

Unless you use a hidden emunand partition you can copy your data over to new card, you need SX OS to run backup from HDD, but they only support up to 11.0.0.

Hi All,

I modded my Switch around 2 years ago and as I'm running out of space on my SD card, I had a few questions. I'm using the RCM Loader with the jig on my V1 Switch:

1. If I just want to use a larger SD card, is it a simple matter of just copying all the files over?

2. I'd like to update my Atmosphere but it's not clear what the steps are and whether I will create incompatibilities. The RCM has two payload files, a payload.bin and Atmosphere Hekate Payload.bin, not sure which of these is being used and whether these need to be updated. I downloaded the latest Atmosphere from their Github (0.19.4). It seems to have mostly the same files and folders that I see on my existing SD card, do I just copy these and overwrite?

My biggest concern is that I may create incompatibilities, I've been reading on here about people that updated their firmware and then needed to update sigpatches, it's all a bit confusing. Do I have to update my firmware or can I just update Atmosphere and be done with it?

Sorry for all the questions, it's literally been 2 years since I looked at all this.

Thanks for any help.

You will have to use a homebrew application such as Avatool.

1. If you are not using partition-based emuMMC, then the answer is yes. If you are using partition-based emuMMC, then along with copying all of the files over, you will also have to use an imaging tool to copy the partition from the old SD card to the new one
2. Updating Atmosphere is as simple as deleting the old Atmosphere and sept folders then placing the new one on the SD card. Overwriting the folders doesn't always update Atmosphere correctly so its better to delete the old CFW files first
3. The only reasons you would ever update your firmware is if you want to play online or a game/content requires a higher firmware version in order to work. Aside from these, updating your firmware is not required and tends to introduce new issues that were not apparent on lower firmware versions. Only update your firmware when you really need to

Thanks so much for the help! How do I figure out if my emuMMC is partition based or not? I just used a standard 128 GB card with exFAT for the formatting.

What about the injector files in RCM? Keep those as is?

And, finally, just the Atmosphere and Sept folders? The master download also has a Switch folder with a couple of .nro files like Daybreak, not sure if I need those.

Thanks again!

If you see about 30 GB of space that is not accounted for on your SD card, then it is probably being taken up by a partition. You can also check in Hekate under the emuMMC tab to see if there is one on your SD card. As for the files on your RCM Loader, I believe you can keep those as is. And finally, just to update the CFW Atmosphere alone, it only requires the Atmosphere and Sept folders. The .NRO files in the switch folder aren't required to boot Atmosphere but are some useful homebrew applications that you can use with the CFW.

How do I boot into Hekate? When I launch into RCM, it goes straight to Atmosphere...

 

[Veralyn]

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, if not please tell me where i can post this question instead.

I am looking for sword/shield save file with the god egg/missingno on it, a quick google search isn't giving me any luck :X

It seems like your payload.bin is set to fusee_primary. You will have to change the payload.bin to Hekate if you want to boot Hekate. Don't worry though as you will still be able to launch into Atmosphere from Hekate. Download the latest Hekate from the official GitHub page and rename it to payload.bin

Although I do not know where to find one specifically outside of looking it up on Google, there is a pinned thread in the ROM Saves subforum where you can either see if it has been uploaded or request for someone to upload one.

Thanks...is that the payload.bin that's in the bootloader\payloads folder on the SD card, or the one that's on my RCM injector?

The one inside your RCM injector.
