with the new fw on the wilds, does anyone knows if Hekate needs to update in order to boot OFW clean sysnand through fusee secondary?

Just wanting to update my clean sysnand to keep playing online games.

You can boot the console without the hekate payload?!

yes, but I manage a couple of my friends' switches and they are not that hacking savvy, so I usually just prepare everything with autoRCM and then they just have to choose to boot stock sysnand or cfw emunand on each reboot.

Odd question about eMMC RAW GPP backup.

I get this error at 5% after using multiple different SD Cards (all legitimate) and formatting them in both Fat32 and ExFat, both 16k and 32k splits:

error reading 8192 blocks @ LBA 00308000

It tries 3x real quick and then aborts. My question is whether this is a sign of a bad NAND chip in general? For instance, if the NAND booted to an error code or was generally bricked, could the issue be that it cannot PHYSICALLY read the NAND chip or will a NAND backup happen even on an error or bricked Switch *as long as you can boot to RCM and Hekate*?

Thanks.

Edit: Also, if it is possible that it cannot physically read the NAND chip that would remove all possibility of writing to it to try to restore it, I assume. Right?

Recover EmuNAND after hekate update

Hello,
I made a mistake and when I wanted to update the boot loader folder by overwriting it, it somehow deleted the whole folder and copied the new hekate one.
Now when I launch hekate I can’t get anything in launch. No ofw or cfw
Is there a way to recover from this?
Thanks

@CTCaer, any thoughts how I can get rawnand.bin.05 to dump and complete my nand backup?
I am trying to make nand backup, but when I dump eMMC raw using hekate 5.5.3 I get an error. I have partial nand dump with all rawnand.bin.xx files except rawnand.bin.05. When I set partial.idx file to 0x05 to resume the dump, only rawnand.bin.05 fails with this error every time:
error reading 8192 blocks @ LBA 01478000, from eMMC (try 1). Retrying...
error reading 8192 blocks @ LBA 01478000, from eMMC (try 2). Retrying...
error reading 8192 blocks @ LBA 01478000, from eMMC (try 3). Aborting...
please try again...
Failed!

Did you fix this? Having the same problem (when restoring the backup).

    @Xdqwerty, Reason how I found Newgrounds: https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/249365
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, the other game where I found newgrounds is new york shark

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Another being Pico VS Bear, the original 1999 version before Jim Henson filed a DMCA takedown.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    The 2006 versión was made when the flash portal was made
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Many people thought it was lost, but was discovered that he hid it on the same page.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    https://tcrf.net/Pico_VS_Bear
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, although the "secrets" system where the game was has been removed. Also pico vs uberkids had a netplay versión that was shutdown, although the swf file has been found
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nope. There are two download buttons on the same page, where you can download the original under a file called "bear.exe". "bear2.exe", however, is the updated game in a Flash projector. P.s. this was on the archived Pico page from 2000.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's been there for a long time, too. People who search for lost media don't look hard enough lmao.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, also the pico 2 demos used to be only for the newgrounds patrons but they are on internet archive too (https://archive.org/download/picos_school_2)

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Iirc the demos were removed from newgrounds in 2022
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, or well only the demo with mindchamber's style was on newgrounds

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Fun fact @SylverReZ: iirc one of the goals on the fnf Kickstarter stated that pico 2 would be finished but the Kickstarter didnt get enough money for that goal to be fullfiled
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, FNF sucks, their community is toxic as hell.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @SylverReZ its a single player game
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, Yea but it has a shitton of mods with their own songs and stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, and quite a lot of people involved in those mods get cancelled
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Newgrounds wasn't the birth of FNF; rather, it was games where you beat up celebrities and parodies.
