Not sure if you missed it, but most people are using A9LH to load CFW now. It's stable, quick, gets rid of the need for emuNAND, and serves as a layer of brick-protection. This is the go-to guide on setting up A9LH and CFW: https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki

People are also typically using Luma3DS as their CFW. It's in the guide.

- SafeA9LHInstaller removed need to compile your own a9lh or have that website do it
- a9lh can be installed at 2.1 now, so a little quicker
- freeway browser removes most cases of needing rxTools to update to 9.2
- FreakyForms deluxe, SmileBasic are new primary exploits
- loads of new secondary exploits
- big update to Plailect guide promised soon (possibly no more need to use emuNAND when downgrading?)
- menuhax and browserhax now work on 11.0 (they got blocked on 10.6)
- dsiwarehax allows downgrading of 11.0 using a second 3ds
- hardmod downgrade continues to be available

Edit: and how can I forget downloading straight from Nintendo's servers. There have been different adaptions but the current one is freeShop, with CIAngel appearing a little earlier and sticking around because it does DLC and updates while freeShop doesn't.
Oh and Draw Attack. If you haven't played it you should.

  • B @ BigArnold:
    Can you guys help with my problem concerning my Switch?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Did you switch it up
  • B @ BigArnold:
    Switch what up?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Switch the switch to resolve your issue
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigArnold, sorry but i cant, i dont have a switch. also what k3nv2 says is a joke
  • B @ BigArnold:
    That's what I figured. I put a post up in a forum but no one seems to replying to posts there. I also don't what this chat is attached to.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    General chat as it implies
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigArnold, try posting in the "switch noob paradise" thread
  • B @ BigArnold:
    That's where I put it. But like I said other people's posts from a day or two ago have no responses. I'm not sure if the chat is part of the Nintendo forum that I'm on or a part of the website as a whole.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigArnold, part of the website as a whole
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    then try making a thread
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    wait you are too new to be able to do that
  • B @ BigArnold:
    That's fine. I'll find my way.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @BigArnold you put the fusee or hekate.bin in the hekate/ payloads folder, or use app to push the payload to switch while its in rcm mode

  • B @ BigArnold:
    The problem is is that TegraGUI isn't detecting my Switch despite it being plugged in and in RCM or maintenance mode.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Did you click install driver inside the tegra app.
  • B @ BigArnold:
    I did all of that stuff and it seemed successful but still nothing. The only thing different from the guide I used was that my device wasn't showing up as APX but rather Nintendo Switch.
  • B @ BigArnold:
    I did it inside the Tegra app and Zadig.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Try a different USB c cable, or different USB port on your pc.
  • B @ BigArnold:
    I tried a different port and don't have another cable. I'm fairly certain there's no issue with the equipment I'm using.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Some cheap USB c cables don't send data, they only charge
  • B @ BigArnold:
    The cable is usually used to connect my controller to my switch's dock.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Only other thing Id suggest is using a phone/tablet and use the Rekato app, or different pc
  • B @ BigArnold:
    Okay then.
    Thanks for your help.
