Hacking sx pro, taking out sd card

[Trappie]

When you want to put some new backups of your owned games on the sd card, you gotta turn off the switch and restart it after.
Do you have to throw in another payload when doing that or does it start in SX OS by itself?

Thanks

You need to send the payload everytime you boot your switch

As long as your in RCM and the dongle is installed. SX OS will boot.

Every time you power off (not sleep) you must resend the payload whether through SX Pro dongle with Jig or Auto RCM, or SX OX with your own way to get into RCM and whatever your preferred method of sending the payload to boot SX OS. If you have multiple SD cards and are switching between then you must have boot.dat and license.dat files on each card.

FTPD could be your solution, that can be triggered, you transfer your dumps to the root and exit FTPD.
No need to remove the SD then.

Also keep in mind;
SX OS looks in the root of the SD
WAIN stores backups in the switch folder of the SD
gcdumptool stores backups in the root.
So gcdumptool is easier if you are dumping carts yourself

Likewise, you can hold Volume + and boot to the SX OS menu. From there, you can select "Options" and then select "Boot external payload" to boot any payload on your SD card. I use this exclusively to boot Hekate CTCaer Mod.

Thanks for this. I just recently discovered FTPD (today actually). But I was doing the Waincartdumper to rip and using nx explorer to go in and move the dump and rename it from the switch itself. I'll check out this other application. One less step to worry about. Do you know if gcdumptool is more or less compatible than waincart? It couldn't hurt to have more apps I suppose.

Dont mention it.

More compatible to be honest. Some games dumped by WAIN just would not work ... FIFA18 is a real life example.
That only worked when dumped with gcdumptool.
I keep WAIN as a backup option though
