I got a question. I did a partial NAND backup with the latest version, and everything seemed fine. My SD card is barely under 32 GB thanks to some files, so it dumped almost all 2GB parts alright. Once it tells me to make some space, I take the SD card out, put it on my PC, take the dumps out, then put it back in, and it continues dumping.

Now here's where the problems happens. The last file seems to be dumping alright, but upon finishing, it gives me that "SD Card and eMMC data do not match!" I was told to check the SD card with h2testw, which I did and it showed no problem. What could be happening?

I have a 32gb exfat sd, when i try to backup my nand it get stuck in 3% and the screen freezes, the battery won't go down or the charge change.
Is it still working or should I just stop it?

Guys, there's someone converted hekate_ctcaer_4.0.bin to hekate_ctcaer_4.0.h to download to the dongle, and then I can not run the script binConverter.py? Thnx

Hey I just want to confirm this is correct. I just updated from 3.2 to 4.0.
In the ini file I've added.

You can open hekate bin with HxD and select "file" at the top bar, and go to "export" and export it as "c" then just rename it to the .h instead of .c

I can't see anywhere it says you MUST backup your TSEC/BISKEY's?
I know you should but it could be clearer for new people.

PS thanks for the v4 update :)

Only if you burned fuses when you updated from 3.0.2 to 5.0.1. Otherwise, it is highly recommended.
i updated using ChoidujourNX so i didnt burn fuses. so ur saying if i updated normally i can use my 3.0.2 backup? (burned fuses)
edit:
just to clarify what i'm trying to understand: if i used choidujournx to update to 5.1.0 and sumthing happened to my switch, can i use my 3.0.2 backup or do i have to backup on 5.1.0 as well?

So just learning about this and trying to understand: So this requires a JIG, and and runs off SD card. And using this i can back up my original boot 0/1 emmc or whatever before i hack with SX os for instance or do other homebrew? and if i ever want to go back to legit original switch to play legit online and connect to nintendo servers, i would just restore the original backup using HEKATE?

Yup, right on the money. You can use your 3.0.2 backup to return to 3.0.2 firmware without using ChoiDujourNX.

Just to be sure.... I know the switch writes to boot0 and/or boot1 each boot, hencw why you should always backup everything in one boot. But does it also write something to the nand or not?

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @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.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    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.

    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

    but that's a long shot

    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."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
