Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[denideniz]

I'm not the biggest expert when it comes to modchips but apparently, the schematics for the SX Core was "leaked" several months ago. Not sure if that is exactly what you are looking for.

SX Core version can fit into lite right?

No, SX Core is only designed to fit into Erista units regardless if they're patched or not. The TX Team made a modchip specifically for the Switch Lite aptly named the SX Lite.

is there any pcb for sx lite?

I have been using SX OS in the past, but I have now switched over to Atmosphere (latest), FW 12.1.0.
I am trying to run TLOZ: Skyward Sword HD (all DLC + latest update) on my switch. However, it always shows the "The software closed because an error occurred".

I am also playing other games on my switch, such as, Dying Light: Platinum Edition, TLOZ: BOTW, Dead Cells, Mario Kart 8, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, TLOZ: Link's Awakening etc and all of them are working perfectly. All these are also with all DLCs and the latest update included.

It appears as if I am just not able to play TLOZ: Skyward Sword HD. Any ideas what could be wrong?

For whatever reason, it was only the SX Core's schematics that were revealed and not the SX Lite's. Whether that's due to less interest or them being harder to track down, unfortunately there is no alternative to the SX Lite.

Did you install Skyward Sword via the Album app from SX OS?

No, I did a fresh atmosphere install and installed Skyward Sword (and all other games) from TinFoil (all DLCs and latest update option enabled).

Well since its the only game causing issues, I'd recommend trying to download the game from a different source.

Hi

I hope when you say Lockpick doesn't work, you're referring to the homebrew version. Have you tried using Lockpick_RCM?

Oii mates, I'm having a problem atm. I have 2 sd cards, one is full with games so I decided to buy the second one. now that I have installed the latest atmosphere and hekate, sigs etc. I keep seeing the games from my 1st sd card, but its just the tiles in the menu. Something to do with cloud save game or something like that, can't recall since i'm not home. however, the 2nd Sd card has a brand new installation of atmosphere. how come I still see the games from the other SD card on my new sd card?

Even if the game data is installed to another SD card, remember that all save data is stored on the console. The message you're seeing is probably telling you to download the game data onto the new SD card.

I can think of two reasons: first, the games you're seeing were actually installed to Switch's internal memory and not the other SD card, second: At some point, you booted into the ofw with those games installed on the first SD card, the ofw "saw" the games, and when you copied over the firmware to make the second card, you also copied over the information about those games.

Hmm.. okay , thanks for the replies, but isn't it possible that if i switch from SD card using the RCM loader Ij ust see the games I install on the SD card thats plugged in? like for example; on sd card 1 I have mario party and SD card 2 I have mario kart. If I completely turn off my switch and put in my SD card 2 and boot it i only see mario kart . and vice versa for sd card 1?

I think I know whats wrong, its from the launch on Hekate, I just have CFW and Stock, on the CFW there are the game tiles, but because I have SD card 2 plugged in, it shows the cloud on the game tile. I think i have to make a new CFW within the launch tile in hekate.

No, its just another thing that happens to come with SX OS by default but not Atmosphere. You need patches to launch backups. SX OS has them built-in but they need to be downloaded separately for usage with Atmosphere. You can download them from this thread. Simply place them on the root of your SD card.

Well I'm still not sure of any app that can do what you're looking for. If there's a corrupted file, formatting your SD card is usually the only fix. Removing duplicate apps can be checked by inserting the SD card into your computer and hitting ctrl+F for any dupes.

Edit: never mind fixed the tinfoil issue. Thank you very much for all your help.

I know this has probably been asked a million times already, but I was looking for a clear-cut simple answer...

I'm aware that the option to play homebrew games is available, and that most people out there try and keep a CFW and an OFW so that they can mess around, cheat, and run homebrew on the CFW, whilst keeping the OFW "pure" so that they can use the OFW to play legit cartridges online, but how easy is that to achieve? Is it simply a case of not "booting" into the CFW if I want to play online with a friend? Or do I need to do something more to make sure that any modifications aren't detected when I want to play legitimately online?

Basically I want to be able to play homebrew games offline on CFW but then go and play Mario Kart with friends using a legit cart whenever I feel like it, without risking getting banned.

Many thanks!

*How can I backup my Pokemon Diamond Game Cartridge to then install it on CFW so I dont need it in the system when I would like to play the game. I am running Atmosphere but am very new to the scene. If someone could walk me through this process I would be willing to compensate via paypal, ect. Thanks

Its not about keeping CFW and OFW separate; those are just different ways of booting your console. The goal is to not connect online after using any CFW/homebrew. Normally, the only way to enjoy both CFW and not being banned is by getting a second console so all of the hacking is done on one while online is used with the other. But with emuMMC, you can simulate having a second console without the hardware. Basically, its a copy of your console's system files that can be run from the SD card. Once emuMMC is setup, you dedicate CFW & homebrew to either emuMMC or your console AKA sysMMC and stay offline with that one while the opposite one you chose will go online but avoid any CFW/homebrew usage. The relative "ease" of this is how likely are you to accidentally run CFW/homebrew on the one that you go online with. That is unless you rush a lot or are prone to making mistakes, the chances of failure are extremely low.

Well if you're already running Atmosphere, you can use the homebrew application Gamecard Installer NX to install the game straight from the cartridge. And in case you don't have them already, you will also need special patches in order to launch the game once installed that way which you can find here.

hello! my emummc is disabled as my switch is already banned. i wanted to make sysmmc backup but hekate doesn't allow it and only made emmc backup which was 4mb size, this file size seemed fishy so i think i couldn2t manage to create a backup. is there any way to make a back up of sysnand/sysmmc?
