Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[binkinator]

hey, i got this rcm loader device and it has these files on it. I’m a noob and unsure if I should try plugging this right into my switch and see if it works

RCMloader is very solid. Lots of folks use it w/o issues, including me.

here’s the main site: https://www.xkit.xyz/support/

here’sma quick how to: https://www.cheatslips.com/accessories/rcmloader

It won’t hurt any switch whatsoever, but will only work on an unpatched V1 Erista Model.

So yeah, you’ll need to do specific stuff to make use of it…

Hello, I want to try my hand and try to write something useful on the switch and now I'm stuck on one thing. I want to write a sysmodule for atma as a test project that would turn on home highlighting ala this using a combination (only it doesn’t work on the latest atmosphere), but I didn’t find information on how to assemble modules for the atmosphere, I found only about .nro, which are purely like applications, but also some intelligible docks on how they will differ in terms of code from .nro and how to write them. Can anyone provide information about this?

Best place to start would be here: https://switch.homebrew.guide/homebrew_dev/introduction.html

You’re probably looking to build something for Stratosphere. I would start small by grabbing the code for another Sysmodule and studying how they did it and then branch out from there once you fully understand how it works.

Can you go to Files in the top tab and instead of opening a disk, open files and navigate to your sd card? I’m thinking maybe you emunand is put on a disk partition but on the file system itself.

Hey mate, any chance if you could help me further? I think we were on the right track, thank you!

Absolutely. We’re you able to get the temp card sorted? Was the emunand created as files based instead of partition based?

I guess files-based, chose some 00 file and it opened. I've restored my emuNand to temporary SD and the problem replicated - black screen after second Atmosphere logo, what does it mean and what can I do now?

Yuck. That means your emunand is bad. :-(

Best approach at this point is to back up your original game saves with NXNandManager by going to the Explorer (requires keys to do this) under :USER/Saves and then creating a brand new Emunand from your stock Sysnand on your old SDCard. Just use Hekate to overwrite the original partition with a new Emunand. You will need to reinstall your games and then import your game saves using JKSV. You won’t need your temp card any longer. It has served its purpose.

I can see the saves saved like this - is it correct? Didn't see your fancy saves screen with colored icons though, just a table of saves with game names.

any chance there's some emuNand repair tool?

here’s a thread about it:



You should be able to click and get a Save option.

NXNandmanager is the most common method used.

Here’s an alternative method just for completeness:

I’ve not used this but it looks interesting.

I’m not aware of any emunand repair tool. Doesn’t mean one doesn’t exist…just that I’m ignorant of its existence.

Anyone else know of an Emunand repair tool? Am I missing something?

Hey guys theres any homebrew to increase the amount of controllers connected up to 10?

Thanks - found this one, will give it a try, not sure if it's legit

Anyone got experience with emuiibo I've got it installed but the sysmodule for it won't start with my switch I can see it in hekate toolbox but it's toggled to off and when I toggle it to on and restart it still doesn't work

Does it show that it’s on after you reboot with the toggle set to on? If not, then something is missing. Probably the emuiibo system module. I typically install all the emuiibo stuff via the HB App Stoe and they come out correct and start with no issues.

Both are legit people in the scene…I’m just not sure it’s going to do anything more than give you a default emunand (I.e. if it rescues your saves I will be impressed.)

try those steps i found game at 3 different sources but all are same file info and name. no luck

There are approximately a dozen different possible solutions. None of them worked?

Mission Control allows the addition of 3rd part controllers. Does that help?

apparently no lol. when i load with fusee it freezing on loading screen and crashes. i tried with hekate it loads little further but also crashes.

Exactly what happens, I have removed it all and tried the version from HB store still the same issue and when I go into oil menu it says 'emuiibo appear to not be present'

What we’re the results of each thing you tried?
They are the most common issues and we’ll need to eliminate the easy ones before we can jump into anything more esoteric.
We can walk through them one by one if you’d like

please double check You followed everything here: https://github.com/XorTroll/emuiibo/blob/master/Usage.md

For example did you create this: sd:/emuiibo/amiibo

I just double checked mine and it looks exactly like the readme.


Maybe remove all other sysmodules except these:

0100000000000352
420000000007E51A

(the ones we’re working with)

I have just been through it all step by step including generating an amiibo using the tool and all I get is the image below

Hi, I am getting the infamous

A Fatal Error Ocurred when running Fusee Unable to identify Package1​

error after accidentally updating firmware to the latest.

I tried updating atmosphere as per https://rentry.org/MigrateToAtmosphere1_0_0. But I am still out of luck. This error still persists.

Is it safe to delete Atmosphere and Bootloader folder and then try again copying these files? Or is there a better solution?
