Thank you a lot! I got one more question. Since I bought 64 gb SD card, emunand is taking almost half of it. Is that normal? Also I have problems formating my SD to fat32. Is there a huge difference between exfat and fat32?

FAT32 is less corruption prone out of the two, exFAT has no journaling so it doesn't keep track of what was written to the SD card, you have higher chance of file corruption if you use exFAT, as for emunand goes yes it take about 32GB of space as it emulate one.

I feel really dumb after finally fixing Tinfoil by injecting fusee primary, really don't know why I didn't do that earlier. Anyway, now since I'm booting with primary, what's the difference between hekate and primary? Obviously everyone is recommending to use hekate. What I'm missing out now while being on primary?

Hekate is a multi function bootloader that can create emummc, do nand backup, setup up autoboot etc, Hekate can also can chainload Fusee Primary.

So basically if I already made backup and emunand, I do not really need it anymore?

You should keep a NAND backup around on a computer or an external HDD just in case you need to restore the NAND, a full backup is the boot0/boot1 and the rawnand.

An emunand is essential if you have a clean NAND and that you want to use Sysnand for online game play and emunand for Homebrew/CFW stuffs. Keep in mind that a emulated EMUMMC is 32GB in space on the SD card.

Oh God, why can't this drama just end... Now tinfoil asks me to uninstall komos, which by the way I don't even know what it is. I just followed sites which you have sent me and installed Atmosphere and everysingle time there has to be some kind of problem... Moving to Awoo, seems like Goldleaf isn't working right now.

Blawar, tinfoil developer doesn't get along with Kosmos, that why there is the problem with that. If you use Vanilla Atmosphere you should not encounter that message.

 

[Virdoo]

Well obviously I'm using it... Is there any easy way to use stock atmosphere?

Also I'm getting Applet mode not supported message on Awoo

You can try installing this, it launch homebrew menu in full ram mode.

Is anything bad going to happen if i select uninstall kosmos on red screen in tinfoil?

No, and it state on tinfoil page it doesn't work Kosmos or Hekate so you need to boot with Fusee Primary for tinfoil to work. Blawar can be annoying something with his homebrews. There was a big fight with him with Kosmos and Hekate developer.

Well it does says but I started installing 2 days ago and don't know anything about switch homebrew community nor anything similar what's happening on Switch scene. So I pressed y to uninstall kosmos. Did I removed anything important?

Not really if you are worrying, you can delete everything except the Nintendo folder and do a fresh setup again of Vanilla Atmosphere if you want. I use to use Kosmos also but since they archived I just use Vanilla Atmosphere, it ain't too hard to understand how to set it up yourself.

 

[Virdoo]

Well I followed guide which you have sent me yesterday and still managed to install something other than vanilla Atmosphere.Anyway, thank you for your time and helping me out! I appreciate it.

BTW. I finally managed to install test game with .nzp file. Moving on to other stuff

So, my switch got banned withing a week of installing CFW, although I didn't had even time to play backups. What a mess... Is there a way now to remove my emunand and install everything to my sysnand?

You can backup your emuMMC and restore it to your sysMMC using something like NxNandManager. You should backup your sysMMC beforehand.

 

[Virdoo]

Is it even worth it? I don't want to potentially brick my console for some small changes. Or even better, how can I transfer save files from my sysnand to emunand? Therefore I won't be using my sysnand anymore

Use JKSV to backup and restore save files.

Edit: If you're banned, then there's probably no reason to use an emuMMC.
