Hi all,

The other night when launching Tinfoil I wasn't paying attention properly and when it asked me to update I just hit yes. This immediatelty shut down my Switch and spawned this error meesage on my screen - "Fatal error: NXBOOT unable to identify package 1, press power button to reboot". Hitting the powerbutton just sent me back to this this error message.

I tried to reset the Switch with the long press reset which did stop the above error message appearing but now I can't even lauch into the standard switch fireware, nevermind the CFW. I think I might have updated the fireware by mistake. I appreciate this is my first post here, but I've looked everywhere and this community seems to have loads of sollutions for problems, so I was hoping someone could get me out of a bind here and help because I'm at a complete loss on what to do :(

When I plug the Switch into the PC it does find it, I get the noise from the PC to say it's plugged in and Tegra sees it.

But when I try to load the payload with Tegra I just get this error

This is what the files look like on my Switch SD card. Am I missing something from here?

I also have this backup on PC I did with the guide I used (which I can't use to restore this because it requires using the payload). Can I do anything with these backups?

Any help would be greatly appreciated because right now my Switch is bascially bricked.

Atmosphere and hekate.

Yes you are missing both Atmosphere and Hekate on your SD card. If you updated the firmware to v. 12.0.0 you need the latest Athmosphere 0.19.1 and Hekate 5.5.5

Are you sure you're using Atmosphere? Doesn't Tinfoil purposely quit when it detects hekate?

Either way, update to latest Atmosphere and Hekate and use Hekate 5.5's payload.

No it's been working perfectly fine, it wasn't until I updated by mistake it all messed up. I'll give it a go with the updated files. See if that does anything.

YES, it worked. I'm back in. Thanks guy. Feel like such an idiot making a full thread when it was something so simple.

I'd perform a disk check on your sd just in case too like via chkdsk. It's a bit concerning since your folders disappeared after an update. I accidentally updated too and did not have that issue.

I think Clingwrap is better but you'll have to fix it if the OS accidentally bluescreens.

Then next time, you could use the Switch Noobs Paradise instead of making an entire thread.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    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
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.

    never had that i don't think
