Hey guys, having an issue with the 2.3 beta Everything else works but for some reason when I press L + R to start Lumines at the first screen of the game, before you get to the menu, it just opens up the homebrew menu and you can't close it afterwards, the music still keeps playing though. Only way you can make it show the game again afterwards is to click the start button but then it immediately goes back to the homebrew launcher again. Doesn't happen in Taiko, you need to press L + R to start that game too but it works perfectly fine there. Hasn't happened on any other game I've played since installing the beta either, just Lumines. Anyone else have that issue?

Fixed it myself, if anyone needs the fix, you just gotta find the latest nsp update for Lumines and install it.

Hey, I've been using SX OS 2.0.1 for a while and now I've decided to move to 2.3.
When I boot into SX OS boot menu, there is no emunand enabled option anymore. How do I solve this?

Updated from SX OS 2.3 to 2.4.1 and now all my installed NSPs say they are not downloaded to the SD. I was using emunand 6.1. I am going to update the emunand to 6.2 but is there any other solutions besides installing everything again? I had a ton of stuff installed and deleted all the files already

Why would you want to be online when you are using a hacked Switch? It a quick way to get yourself banned beside playing an eshop game online.

Yes banned, keyword banned from Nintendos servers, thats all, they cant do anything to the Switch itself, you can go online anytime, anywhere on the switch without Nintendos consent, wanna know why? Switch has a WIFI chip, you cant disable that and if Nintendo did, it would be illegal, so they can merely ban you from there services, theres other ways of going online.

Does anyone know if there is a way to reinstall the firmware? My brother had my switch crash and now everytime I try to turn it on it won't boot. The sx os menu loads fine but the actual firmware it self doesn't and unfortunately I have no backups my switch is on 6.2.0 if that helps.

Hi, i did not wanted to create a new thread so i hope my questions here are ok:
1. Yesterday i bought sx os and my sysnand is on 5.0.2. with autorcm enabled (choidujour) I started CFW option in sx boot menu. My original clean nand was on 3.0.2. Is my gamecard controller now updated ? or is this prevented through sx os cfw option ? if its updated now i cant go back to my original backed up clean nand backup of 3.0.2 right ?
2. As i have autorcm enabled, i still have to boot into sx boot menu to shut the console off from there to make sure its really off and not draining battery ?

Thanks very much, cheers

Bonjour guys,

I bought a Nintendo Switch and tried to boot into CFW(SX OS). But after touching "Boot CFW" in SX OS menu, screen went black and that's it.

Nothing else happens. I tried an 8GB,32GB and an 64GB SDHC/SDXC card in exFAT, NFTS, and FAT32.

Nothing is working.

Do you know why?

System Software is on 6.2 and the Update(I guess it's a license) for using SDXC cards want to be downloaded each time I use the SDXC card.
I can not update, because, when I update(I already tried), the console will start downloading a large file(possibly software version 7.x) and not just the SDXC license.

Can someone help me with that?

Hi I have problem with my two exfat formatem cards and tested latest 2.5.3 SX old version. Before on 256gb cards everything worked, bought new 512gb card (not worked also). Now I have house renovation and idk where is my SX pro and used tegrasmash gui to inject payload (also most current version from github).

All cards are legit and tested properly to spot if they are original. Also license file are prezent on card and firmware have exfat support.

I have an exfat microsd with 6.2.0 emunand and i updated to 7.0.1 exfat emunand and sx os 2.6.1 won't boot.. well.. no problem i had a 6.1.0 emunand backup but after updated that too to 7.0.1 still won't boot.. I can update 6.1.0 emunand to 6.2.0 but can't update to 7.0.1.. very interesting. Anyone can help or give some advice? I can patch the games to run on 6.2.0 so no reason to update but still it is annoying.

Suddenly the other day I could no longer hold R on an installed game to get RAM. I was on SX OS 2.5.1. So I tried 2.6.1 and it made no difference. I have tried several games I have installed and it either ignores that I'm holding R and starts the game or it says "an error has occured please try again later" I tried different hbmenu.nro's and it didn't help. I am on firmware 6.1. I am using FAT32. I am out of ideas, anyone please help?

Retroarch works fine other than giving me the extra RAM and so do all other games.

are you sure you're using controller 1? it doesn't work with extra controllers.

    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves

    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
