Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[vree]

The only way to boost it would be through overclocking. How safe that is depends on how much you overclock the Switch.

Any dumy guides for safe overclocking?

I really don't understand this guide https://gbatemp.net/threads/emutool...r-sd-switch-emu-type-on-sxos-and-more.550756/ to transfer my emunand to a bigger SD card. Are there any alternatives by chance? Thanks

I heard there was a migrate function for hekate, though if you have sxos then i guess it's different.

I use Hekate, do you by chance have a guide which i can follow?

I don't think this one mentions the migrate function, but should be good. Hope it helps:

hi guys, sorry for my noobness i need help to temporarily switch to ofw and then back to cfw.

i rarely use my switch but i need to make a free trial nintendo online account and that can be done only on console.
in russia there is a sale for two more days to buy snes & nes controllers exclusively for nintendo online subscribers. i don't wanna miss it.

currently i'm on cfw and have probably a v9 fw. it's the first fully hackable switch model from 2017.
unfortunately i'm older and due to the language barrier i don't understand many technical terms.
is there a foolproff guide and a wiki or encyclopedia that explains all those terms?

i remember something about fuses being dangerous. i think i had enabled autorcm on that cfwtool.

thanks a lot.

If you ran CFW on sysnand then you won't be able to go online and not get ban.

I notice that when i count up all the GB of installed games on the microSD card via the settings menu i still lack some storage. (this is with the emumcc 29GB) in mind. How come this happends?

There's two things I can think of. One being that cards are never the size they list, like my new 512gb card is under 500 by a decent amount. And the other is the cluster size, which makes any small files take up more room (up to the allocation size).

Nah im stupid I kept my backup of my Emunand on the SD card :')

Well nothing is ever the size it says because the system uses 1024 worth of space per gig for system and allocation tables, so this overhead eats into all SD cards & hard drives.

Some people run atmosphere for updating on the sysnand without burning fuses.
Technically, should be able to switch to OFW too if nothing else is done on the CFW, right? (besides updating there)

 

[Veralyn]

1 more question, my old SD card (smaller storage) can i still use it as a extra storage?? Or will this mess with settings?

For example: If my 256 gb card is full, can i pop in my 128 GB card and just use that for more games? or will i lose certain things.

OFW is sysnand, if they use CFW on sysnand and pirated game, they can't go online without a clean NAND.

You are better off sticking with one SD card.

Ok. I saw both options for sysmmc as as well a OFW. I assumed they were different in that someone could boot stuff iwth the sysmmc if they wanted. Or at least use atmophere for preventing burned fuses. I'm not really sure how that works tho.

When in reference Sysmmc is OFW, also it is Sysnand, Emummc is for emunand. Without autoRCM, if you boot OFW without a custom bootloader the fuse would be burn.

Yes ok. I just saw both options were separate (ofw and another option for sysmmc), so I assumed ofw was for booting without anything at all, while sysmmc could have something if wanted.

In that case, i dont know how someone boots atmosphere with the sysmmc to prevent burning fuses.

 

[PlasticK]

sysmmc, sysnand, emunand, emummc.... i'm confused because i don't know what these abbrevations mean.
sorry i don't want to make many spamposts, is there a wiki that explains these technical terms? i can read it myself.

is there no way to reset everything so nintendo can't detect anything or is not even worth trying?

{--- Custom Firmware ---}
[CFW (SYSNAND)]
emummc_force_disable=1
fss0=atmosphere/fusee-secondary.bin
atmosphere=1
logopath=bootloader/bootlogo.bmp
icon=bootloader/res/icon_payload.bmp
{}

[CFW (EMUMMC)]
emummcforce=1
fss0=atmosphere/fusee-secondary.bin
atmosphere=1
logopath=bootloader/bootlogo.bmp
icon=bootloader/res/icon_payload.bmp
{}

{--- Stock ---}
[Stock (SYSNAND)]
emummc_force_disable=1
fss0=atmosphere/fusee-secondary.bin
stock=1
icon=bootloader/res/icon_switch.bmp
{}

Let use this as example, so CFW( Sysnand) that is CFW on Sysnand, while Stock is without CFW on Sysnand, and Emummc is just the emulated emmc for emunand, you can use a custom bootloader to boot stock so it prevent fuse burn, if you boot sysnand without a custom bootloader it burn your fuse, as for updating via Nintendo server, if you let it finish updating and reboot without going to a custom bootloader the fuse get burned.

Only if you have a clean NAND if you ran CFW on Sysnand which is the same NAND as your OFW.
