I came across some Amiibo .bin files and have no idea what to do with them. Is there a place for them somewhere on the SD card or a particular CFW I need to activate them?
You don't need .bin files for Switch amiibo emulation if you use emuiibo (requires Tesla-Menu and nx-ovlloader as well) and emuiigen (to generate virtual amiibos) or AmiiboGenerator (which generates all available amiibo for emuiibo directly from Switch).
If your console isn't hacked, you would use the eShop. But if your console is hacked, you can install them in the form of .NSP files. That is because going online with a hacked console can get you banned. So while I don't know the specifics of what that guy meant by saying that using physical games on emuMMC would get you banned but connecting to Nintendo's servers after using CFW & homebrew certainly carries a risk.
From what I've gathered so far, file based emuNAND is more prone to corruption than partition based one, especially on exFAT formatted SD cards (use FAT32 instead).
To transfer to a new microSD card, can I just partition the SD card with TegraExplorer and then transfer the old contents of my prior microSD card?
If you don't use or have EmuNand then yes, simple copy and paste. If you use a EmuNand - https://gbatemp.net/threads/emutool...r-sd-switch-emu-type-on-sxos-and-more.550756/
I also recommed Guiformat tool to format FAT32; Good luck!
I already formatted in TegraExplorer, so I'm just waiting for my prior SD card to copy and then I'll transfer the backup to the new 1TB card.
Merry Christmas!
I'm sure it's a common question but I googled around and couldn't find an answer.
I updated Atmosphere to 16.x for 17.x FW support. Now that you can't have a blanked prodinfo anymore, is it safe to have exosphere disabled and only use dns mitm? Trying to keep the console from being banned.

As you have setup DNSMitm you can blank out your serial number, when you disable DNSMitm it will crash the system.
So I made an oopsie and was using sysMMC instead of emuMMC. I installed games on there and everything. It happened after I installed the sigpatches for atmosphere. I would like to have a clean sysMMC... can I just uninstall all those games? Transfer the saves to my sysMMC using JKSV? Or is it already tainted?
Tainted unless you have a NAND backup before doing anything.
I absolutely have one! Should I just do a full restore? Then reinstall and update saves with JKSV?
Before you restore do you know what firmware is the backup on and the fuse count for the unit?
This was all within this month, so the firmware should be the most recent. What is the fuse count?

Shoot I also am migrating to a 1TB card at this time. Should I do the NAND backup restore with the old 256GB card instead to be safe?
Switch have fuses for anti downgrade purpose, for example firmware 17.0.x have 19, and 16.x.x have 18. You won't be able to boot without a custom bootloader if you have low firmware and high fuse count.
Fascinating. I should be good then since I did my backup less than 20 days ago. Firmware and fuse count wouldn't have changed.
Thank you for your help!

What about restoring from NAND from a SD card that was migrated?
As long the NAND backup belong to this unit you should be fine.
Hi everyone,
After reading the many useful posts in this forum while trying to repair a friend's Switch, I have decided to ask for your help. I received the Switch and it was not turning on at all. No boot logo or anything. Therefore, I decided to measure the current being drawn by the console. I measured 15 V and 0.5 A, so I assumed that M92T36 was working fine, since the 15 V indicate that fast charging is active. After that, I decided to connect the Switch to the PC and it was detected in APX mode, so I gave it a try and load TegraRcmGUI and indeed, the console was being detected in RCM mode. I tried sending a payload, but the console is a V1 patched model, so no possibility of running Hekate.
In light of the above, I drew the following conclusion: the Switch is stuck in AutoRCM because there is some problem with the EMMC and it cannot load the OS. I disassembled the console and check for shorts around M92T36 just in case, but everything was looking fine.
What are my options at this point? I read something about rebuilding the NAND, and I saw some adapters to dump the NAND via Linux with an special adapter, but I think that since I do not have the "keys" (prod.keys, master.keys? I still do not fully understand what they are) I cannot decrypt the NAND contents and try to rebuild it.
I have also considered the possibility of soldering some modchip in order to run Hekate and check the status of the NAND, or at least do the NAND dumping to the microSD, but I see many different modchips around Aliexpress and I don't really know which one I should use.
I really appreciate any possible help you can give to this newbie.
Thanks in advance

I found it funny cause many many years ago, had a roommate in college that did this same dumbass branding of the school logo, but it didn't look anything like it after it healed. Just looked like a birthmark.
