Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[BigOnYa]

tried disabling that but still no luck. it won't let me boot games.

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling game(s) on the switch, after your FW and Atmos update. Beyond that, don't know.

ive uninstalled and reinstalled these games like 6 times in the past 3 days the issue doesnt seem game specific because it happens when I launch anything that isnt an applet

 

[beatsinnyhead99]

Installing drivers for the switch triggers an error on both tegrarcm and zadig. How do I prevent this?

 

[NeoGranzon]

I remember that game having issues or a trick with the cheats....ask here:
https://gbatemp.net/threads/cheat-codes-ams-and-sx-os-add-and-request.520293/page-2347

Also i have another problem with Ghost'n Goblins Resurrection,i can't dump the game with NxDumpTool,when i start it it gives me an error in red and i have to go back to the initial page of this tool.

its best to install cheats manually, download the titles.rar from here.

aio probably got the title id right but not the build id which changes every update/dlc.

search the title id for the game in that .rar you downloaded then find the text file build id inside of that. match it to your game version. you can find your games tid and bid if you open up the edizon overlay in tesla when the games running.

all cheats will be on the sd card in SD: Atmosphere/contents. a title id folder with a "cheats" folder inside, followed by a text file named the build id.

i found the animal crossing file and also the TID number
but the files within the folder dont have my build number? could change them to reflect that? or it doesnt work that way

 

[kyrusdemnati]

botw - zelda not loading
i have the main file which i installed, followed by the update and the 2 dlcs, but when i try load the game it says it needs an update


any ways of fixing this?

No it doesn't generally work that way. You must find the cheat codes with the same TitleID And BuildID.

You can get the latest update for the game, or you can use a homebrew program called "Goldleaf" and delete the update nag by opening Goldleaf in homebrew menu, then select "Manage console contents", then select "SD card"/ or "NAND User" (depending on where game is installed), select your game, select "Base", then select the "Reset launch version" tab. Now game will launch without the update nag. Please note that each time your Switch goes online it will check for new updates to games and it will show the "update nag" again, so either updating the game or keeping Switch in "Airplane mode" is best!

I don't know then, sorry for your issue. If I were you, I'd start new, format sd card to Fat32 and reinstall all new files, update FW and Sigpatches, install games. Or try with a different sd card even. Good luck.

Also i have another problem with Ghost'n Goblins Resurrection,i can't dump the game with NxDumpTool,when i start it it gives me an error in red and i have to go back to the initial page of this tool.

I don't use NxDumpTool but read and/or ask here:

Managed to fix it thanks

I think I have the dns set so it can’t go on line to Nintendo servers

I think the data is still there though, as my SD card was quite full, like 300 GB worth of crap in that Nintendo folder lol. When I moved my SD card backup back to the SD, I originally put it in emuMMC/ER00/, but I just moved it to emuMMC/RAW1/ and it shows the file sizes now. This is the correct place to put my original Nintendo folder right, or do I put it in back in the root of the SD where it was when I was using SXOS Sysnand?

EDIT - I think I need to clean up my folder structure now. I've tested a few games and they work (except Animal Crossing lol. I am sure I need to restore more JKSV saves or whatever for that maybe???) But, I am still unsure what I need and don't, or where everything goes and what folders I use. I have multiple apps of the same thing added under homebrew, or I have added apps and they don't show up.

OK @binkinator or anyone else, as per the previous thread, I should really clean up my SD card now. Problem is I am not sure where things should be and not be. So right now here is the root of my drive:

Spoiler: Root

emuMMC corresponds to Atmosphere correct? There is an ER00 folder and a RAW1 folder. I am sure only the RAW1 folder is in use, so like you said, just cut that ER00 folder somewhere and see if there's any problems with it gone?

The Emutendo folder, is that now for my SXOS on EmuNAND?? NSPs installed when using SXOS in EmuNAND will install into this folder?

There is a Nintendo folder on the root now as well... is that just for my SXOS SysNAND or Stock?

With homebrew, does it load up for all the CFWs or do they each have their own separate folders like the "Nintendo" folder... and if not, where do you put them all. I have found multiple installs or folders for JKSV, Goldleaf, Tinfoil, etc..., and I'm trying to narrow them all down to just have 1 of each and get rid of the old version and stuff that was put back when I copied my SD backup back onto my SD card.

Does anyone have a guide for migrating to a bigger SD card ?? When I put the current SD card in a PC I see two drives/partitions (the larger of which can't be read by Windows). I am wondering if's possible to clone/migrate this to a new, larger, SD card without having to re-install all the games ?

If it makes a difference I am running Atmosphere with emunand

You should be able to with something like MiniTool Partition Wizard. I did it once for my Windows Drive migrating to a bigger (and even smaller) drive. I used a different Partition tool at the time though and forget what it was. I think MiniTool is free to do this though. Just clone it, and then I think you can change the size of the main partition to fill up the extra space. If that doesn't work, copy the contents of the SD Card, clone the hidden partitions to the new drive and then change the size of the main partition (or format it), then copy all the SD card stuff back.

I boot and played on CFW sysnand by accident. I was using BoTW mods to change Link model and overclock to improve performance. It didn't connected to the internet because my WiFi hotspot was turned off, but I also have 90dns and Incognito (my serial number is XAW0000.....). My theme was there too, that's why I got confused and didn't realized I was on sysnand.

Never pirated anything or used save editors or installed icons on menu, I just used graphic mods and installed them in emunand. But because I played on sysnand by accident I'm not sure if I'm safe to connect to the internet now. I only use online in OFW, so everytime I wanted to play online I restart the console and boot in sysnand with no CFW. But now that I played on CFW sysnand I'm worried that there are traces of CFW and sended to Nintendo :S

I can't find any concrete answer that playing with mods offline it's safe. Some guides say it is, another says not. Same with people that claim to be banned and other that say had not

hekate ipl goes in bootloader folder. typically people put payloads such as hekate 5.6.5, in bootloader/payloads. homebrew nros go in the switch folder.

nintendo folder is for stock stuff, photos, videos, legit obtained eshop stuff, ect.
emutendo folder is installed games for sx os emunand.
emummc is atmosphere emunand. not sure what that er00 folder is, possibly from migrating sx os emunand to atmosphere one?

if you used online in ofw then you dont have incognito setup on sysnand as ofw and cfw sysnand are shared. so yes nintendo will know you used cfw. however if thats all you did, you'll likely be fine. Many people including myself play online in cfw, have been for years. its mostly pirated games installed, cheating in competitive games or the occasional anch screw up that gets you banned in a online cfw nand. I wouldnt worry about it, especially as theres nothing you can do to change it,

Thanks for that. So it really is just a case of cloning the partitions ?? No need to worry about keys, etc ? From what I can tell, it's the readable partition (on the SD card) that contains all the games - and will be the one that needs extending after cloning - and the unreadable partition contains the firmware. Does that sound right ?

I already have a couple of disk cloning apps; DiskGenius and EaseUS Partition Master so hopefully those will do the trick

Also, does anyone have any idea what the largest size SD card card the Switch can cope with is ?

Ohh I thought playing online in OFW was more safe than CFW. So maybe it's no turning back... Should I play online in CFW sysnand from now...? Any guide say it's dangerous

Edit: I forgot to say that I haven't connected the console to the internet since that happens, not even in OFW

ofw is definitely the safest option, i was just stating that what you've done isn't that serious to be afraid of a ban. But yea you should probably continue to only play online in ofw.

because sysnand is connected to ofw, the logs are shared, so when you go online in ofw the logs will send. but considering what you've done, I wouldn't worry about it.

Okay! Well there's still the risk but I'm more calm now...

Last question, I read that modifying system files are bad. Overclocking is just hardware changes right? Reversenx do something on the system or just in the hardware?

emuMMC corresponds to Atmosphere. I'm not sure what you're referring to moving but the location will depend on what you're moving. EmuTendo is for SX OS. The Nintendo folder on the root of the SD card is for sysMMC no matter how you launch it, with or without CFW. Homebrew is loaded from only one folder so any CFW no matter how you boot will read it from the same folder.

Okay! Well there's still the risk but I'm more calm now...

Overclocking is a hardware change but you can never be safe with Nintendo. Reverse-NX also modifies system files, not the hardware, so its not safe like any other hack.

 

[jigoku99]

Then I'm fucked... BoTW wasn't in ReverseNx, but the settings of other games were still there...
