Umm guys?
I want to restore my old 3.0.0 NAND dump.
However I'm a bit confused that the folder content differs slightly.
Here's my 3.0.0 dump:
Code:
biskeydump keys.txt
biskeys.txt
BOOT0
BOOT1
Partitions (<- FOLDER)
rawnand.bin.00
rawnand.bin.01
rawnand.bin.02
rawnand.bin.03
rawnand.bin.04
rawnand.bin.05
rawnand.bin.06
rawnand.bin.07
rawnand.bin.08
rawnand.bin.09
rawnand.bin.10
rawnand.bin.11
rawnand.bin.12
rawnand.bin.13
rawnand.bin.14
Restore (<- FOLDER)

And my newer dumps look like this (the following example is a 6.1.0 dump):
Code:
BOOT0
BOOT1
dumps (<- FOLDER)
rawnand.bin.00
rawnand.bin.01
rawnand.bin.02
rawnand.bin.03
rawnand.bin.04
rawnand.bin.05
rawnand.bin.06
rawnand.bin.07
rawnand.bin.08
rawnand.bin.09
rawnand.bin.10
rawnand.bin.11
rawnand.bin.12
rawnand.bin.13
rawnand.bin.14
restore (<- FOLDER)

So basically the newer dump does not have the partitions folder which on the other hand is empty and might be ignorable?
The restore folders in both dumps only contain an empty partitions folder as well so they are ignorable too?
So the only difference is the dumps folder in my 6.1.0 dump which contains
a fuses.bin and a tsec_keys.bin while the old 3.0.0 dump contains
biskeydump keys.txt
biskeys.txt
in its main folder.

To make that short? Do I have to adjust a few things or can I restore that old 3.0.0 dump as it is with hekate 5.0.1?

You're all good, the BOOT0/1 and rawnand.bin.* are the actual nand backup files that you need to restore. the key .txt files and the .bin files are extra dumps which you should keep around but aren't needed to restore.

Hey how long does it usually take for Fix Archive bit (nintendo only) to work? It has been over an hour and I have around 20+ games installed

So I upgraded to a 256 samsung evo card but I've noticed every time I use reboot to payload (set to hekate and via HOS restart) and boot hekate (even if it's auto boot) there's a long 2-3 minute hang on the boot logo before anything happens.

Right now my autoboot is set to boot fusse_secondary



Whereas if I push fusse-primary.bin, sx or like even lakka, the switch boots straight into it. I know my card isn't a lemon because it hits it's advertised speeds in CrystalDiskMark and it's space is true according to sdtester. I currently have a 1 for 1 copy of my 128 sd card on it, (except for a few files) and if I reboot to payload using my 128gb sd card it's fast and instant.

Here's my hekate bootloader setup. Anyone know what the issue is? I know there's been talk about U3 cards acting up, and I'm not sure if this is one of those things.

Code:
[config]
autoboot=1
autoboot_list=0
bootwait=1
verification=1
backlight=76
autohosoff=0
autonogc=1

{-- Custom Firmware --}
[CFW]
emummc_force_disable=1
fss0=atmosphere/fusee-secondary.bin
kip1patch=nosigchk
atmosphere=1
logopath=bootloader/bootlogo.bmp
icon=bootloader/res/icon_payload.bmp
{}
[SX OS]
payload=bootloader/payloads/sx.bin
icon=bootloader/res/icon_sx.bmp
{}
[Lakka]
payload=lakka/boot/coreboot.rom
logopath=lakka/boot/splash.bmp
icon=bootloader/res/icon_lakka.bmp
{}

{---- Miscellaneous ---}
[Stock]
emummc_force_disable=1
fss0=atmosphere/fusee-secondary.bin
stock=1
icon=bootloader/res/icon_switch.bmp
{}

Is it necessary to have Atmosphere and the hekate bootloader folder's on your sd card to be able to load Hekate's Stock mode?

I wonder since i don't need any of its features(for now) and it would feel more "clean" to go online without them on my sd card.

At a minimum you need the hekate_ipl.ini for configuring the stock launch option in the first place, and for 7.x up you need whatever is involved in sept. This means that stock is not really launched in a stock way.

That's an issue with Tinfoil, not Hekate. There is probably a patched NRO somewhere that don't show that message.

So, i screwed up by trying to update my clean switch to 8.1.0 with hekate's stock mode. Ending with burn fuses.
The problem is now the switch seems to go to RCM, but it wont let me inject a payload. When i connect the usb c cable, the switch boots to Horizon.
Switch was on 2.3.0 before this.

Could the hekate_ipl be the problem? I grabbed it from the Kosmos pack. Atmosphere and hekate from github.

Code:
[config]
autoboot=0
autoboot_list=0
bootwait=1
verification=1
backlight=100
autohosoff=0
autonogc=1

is booting stock mode not normal for burning fuses ? you should better had used CFW (SYSNAND)

if the switch is in RCM it does not leave it alone without payload, but if the switch is off and you put in usb cable with power it boots up without any payload to stock and burns fuses when no autorcm is installed
but iirc ChoixDoujourNX enables AutoRCM as default if not manually disabled

    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.
    +1
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    ack my throat
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I need to invest in some storage totes tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tots?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Tootles

    Tootles? Wtf
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Oh tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Oh totes , lol, like Tupperware storage, I gotcha
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it. Even when the kids come over, they don't want to play on it, just the xbox. TMNT and Simpson's arcade is still so fun on it, esp w 2 players.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Gonna check out the new Garfield looks like garbage
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Can't wait to see the new "stick" that can actually play Ps3 or 360 games. I know they are getting close.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @Xdqwerty didn't you see the new garfield?
