Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

I know its not hacking related, but why on earth wont my joycons charge when hooked up on the main device (but not plugged in the dock) ?

Its weird flaw that i don't understand either

That way it does not kill your Main battery quicker while on the go.

Typical Nintendo, making more accessories than what is needed. XD

Hi! I just ordered my first hackable Switch and I am very excited for it to arrive. I'd like to ask a few questions beforehand about emunand/emummc(?) as I don't think I understand it very well. It's never something I've had to mess around with on my 3DS or Wii. Any help appreciated
1. How big could I make an emunand? I ordered a 200gb sd card-- could i make my emunand partition 100 or 150gb and leave the rest as sysnand?
2. How would I swap between sysnand and emunand? Does Hekate have a toggle or something?
3. Could I do system/game updates in sysnand without it affecting emunand? On a broader scale, exactly what data is shared between emunand and sysnand? do they basically act as two different consoles?
4. What all could I do to prevent (or at least reduce the chances of) my console getting banned? Would using 90DNS in emunand and not using cfw at all in sysnand be enough?
I know that's a lot, sorry... thanks in advance!

My bad, this is the same error from before. It’s just a general error code.

Errorcode: 2002-1002
“An error occurred

Visit the Nintendo website for support if this happens again”

And when exactly does this error message pop up?

can i update emummc to version 13 and leave it sysnand version 10.0.4? if there any issue if i boot back to sysnand 10.0.4 after updated my emummc version 13?

Yes, that is the whole purpose of emuMMC; to be on a higher firmware version than sysMMC.

1. You can make it as big as you want but it doesn't offer that much advantages because a bigger partition will just mean a bigger "internal memory" but the internal memory for emuMMC uses the SD card anyways so might as well use the default size or smaller even
2. Hekate is a bootloader meaning its the first thing that the console launches when you're using it. When you're in Hekate, you choose if you want to boot into sysMMC or emuMMC. If you want to switch between them, you would have to reboot back into Hekate. If you are in CFW, you can do this by using the Restart function found in the Power menu (if you hold the Power button for 3 seconds). Otherwise, you will have to turn off your console and send the Hekate payload again
3. The whole purpose of emuMMC is to operate independently of sysMMC so doing an action in one has no bearing on the other. While they share no software, they do share the hardware which applies to things like the cartridge slot & anti-downgrade fuses
4. Never going online with CFW/homebrew is sufficient. However you accomplish that is up to you. Yo can use 90DNS or just not have any Wi-Fi settings at all in emuMMC

Well when I look up that error code, it says title-ID/save data not found which is basically what you were describing earlier. Have you checked to see if the SD card is fake or not?

 

[rotteldastation]

@Draxzelex I see! Thanks much for the detailed answers

Okay, so I probably should have done this earlier, but I formatted my sd card again reinstalled everything (not only the emunand) and chose for a SD file instead of a partition. It's working now! Thanks for your help!

I still have one question I once booted into sysnand with cfw and setted 90dns up, then I installed exosphere, then I also launched homebrew via a game this shoudn't be a problem right? And is it always safe to restore a nand backup?

 

[Dvallin]

Where should I go to check on the scene with a specific game (IE ACNH, Mario Kart, etc) to see what people are getting banned for? I want to be safe and clear my games before then. I've also heard specifically that you can play Splatoon 2 while booted into CFW as long as you DO NOT load any cheats or mods (IE layeredFS)

 

[RedRaz0r]

Hello all! I have an up to date Switch (save for the latest patch) with matching cfw. I purchased a new, larger SD card, and am having trouble with it. I can boot to cfw fine with my old memory card, and am using a file based emummc. I tried copying everything to the new SD card, and when I try to inject either fusee or hetake, it either crashes or doesn't load. Am I doing something wrong? I did a slow format on my new SD card and it still doesn't work

 

[NeoGranzon]

They asked me one thing:if you download a .NPS game from the internet and want to transfer it to the Switch,how do you transfer if the sdcard is in FAT32?

 

[Virdoo]

Hi,

I've got banned switch and fresh switch lite. Is there any way to transfer save files between them without riskng a ban on Lite?

 

[almmiron]

When in dbi, "installed games" partition show me folders and files. Can I Delete the nsp files?

It only show as duplicate, or it is duplicate?

You can use dbi or tinfoil to install directly from your pc

And if I wanted to transfer it from a smartphone?

Is it okay to take the SD card out in Hekate? According to the forum below, it is, but I'd like to make sure before I do it:

If you're offline when launching homebrew, then no. And yes, the whole purpose of eMMC backups is to recover from bricks so they are a last line of defense if everything goes wrong.

There isn't a dedicated place for that; you just have to hope someone made a thread/Discord/etc. for that particular game. For example, there is a thread on GBATemp dedicated to Animal Crossing bans.

What is the error code?

Hi,

I've got banned switch and fresh switch lite. Is there any way to transfer save files between them without riskng a ban on Lite?

Unfortunately there is not as the only methods involve having both consoles hacked or using the built-in save transfer tool which requires going online.

If you've already installed those .NSP files, you can delete them.

Ideally, you shouldn't but its better than removing the SD card when the console is on. Hekate will reboot if you do that so make sure you insert the SD card back in before Hekate reboots.
