Hey everyone, long time no see.
My friend has an interesting problem with his Switch. He is currently on FW 10.2.0. And he can't update it no matter what he tries.

Trying normal System Update via Nintendo servers gives him: "Error Code 2002-0038, Not enough free space in the save destination".
Trying daybreak, he gets: "Failed to prepare update. Result 0x00004c02"

What he tried to fix it:
4 different SD cards (all of them as fat32 and exfat)
Format the switch (still says "not enough space"). Both his SD and eMMC are totally empty.
Launching daybreak in apple and app mode.
EDIT: Multiple different firmwares from different sources. Daybreak always said that they were ok.

But no matter what, it just won't let him update the Switch.
Guys, do you have any idea what the problem might be?
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.
  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."
