Oh wow. Your Tinfoil enabled system was able to talk to Ninty…that’s not good from a banning perspective. Different topic though.
As long as you have backups and a good Sysnand there’s nothing we can’t recover from.
I don’t think we‘re there yet, but if you do decide go from scratch…
Your downloads will be in the emummc folder and will be paired with the emunand. it will probably be best to keep a backup of your game saves but format the rest and reinstall the games from scratch and then restore your game saves.
All good stuff. I’ll be around. I’m very intrigued by this yellow screen stuff. I’ve heard of it but not run across it before. As long as you’re willing to keep troubleshooting I’m game to get to the bottom of it. Appreciate your patience. Tty soon.
My switch updated and my custom smash ultimate skins and my training mod pack aren't working anymore. How do I fix this and is it safe to even reenable my mods right now?
the issue with exfat is that it is a non-journaled file system with a single allocation table. Aside from the odd game install, Ninty doesn’t do a lot of writing back and forth to the SDCard. important things like game saves are written to internal emmc. With this in mind they could use just about any driver and if there is a problem, just tell the customer to format and redownload whatever game they owned from the eshop and their game save would be safe in emmc. We come along and copy the emmc to an emunand and drop Homebrew on it that’s writing back and forth to disk all the time. Add app crashes and logging and you have a perfect storm for disk corruption. The particular driver stack Ninty uses serves their purpose. Unfortunately it is not well suited for what we’re doing but imagine how bad Ninty feels for us and how eager they are to fix this for us.
Now move forward to the use case for a USB disk that you’re simply reading from. The driver doesn’t matter nearly as much when the disk is read only. The SXOS use case was perfect…mount the images, read only off the drive into memory, and stop touching the disk.
Bottom Line: Since external disk are used for mostly reads, exfat is fine for an external drive unless you’re looking to use homebrew to also do a lot of writes to it.
I’ve not happened across those threads yet and have plugged in many drives with wild abandon and those that would not spin up due to power requirements I simply stopped and added a power cable.
you can't replace the bpcshutdownsystem value with something less violent. I tried this application but the console cuts directly I don't think it's very good. Is there another less powerful command? which will let the system shutdown normal use and not an instant shutdown.
Binkinator you've saved my life, you truly are a legend from close to bricking my switch on ver 16, you've made me downgrade and autobooted into Hekate. I'm new to this forum and the switch if there's anything you need you only need ask

There were some pretty big changes to HOS this release that broke a few things. If you can boot into CFW, you should consider running Daybreak.nro (comes w/ AMS) and downgrading. I hear Darthsternie has older releases of firmware you can search for and download for use with Daybreak.
Hello,
Not sure this is the right place to ask but are there docks sold (but not by nintendo) that guarantee
the possibility to connect to a TV
protection of the screen while docked
stability (as stable as the nintendo dock is sufficient)
I know the dock from nintendo can be bought and allows connection to TV + protection of the switch screen (kind of) but it is very expensive. It might seem strange but I really do not want to find another solution such as installing a protection on the screen, etc... Just checking if there are almost-perfectly-identical objects.
Stick with first party dock, unless you want to brick, when the switch asks for specific voltage and the dock supply the wrong voltage that why the switch brick.
When booting into hekate, I get the message "Failed to init or mount SD! Press any key..."
When I press any key, I get to hekate 6.0.2, but without nyx gui interface. On the bottom it says: Nyx is Missing!
But I unzipped all the stuff of the hekate-nyx.zip (from hekate github) to the root of my sd card.
Something is still missing it would appear. Recommend moving /bootloader to /bootloader.bk and downloading a fresh copy of Hekate to unzip. Then copy /bootloader.bk/hekate_ipl.ini to the new /bootloader directory and reboot.
This is exactly, what I did. I moved bootloader and atmosphere folder to my harddrive and inserted the unzipped hekate and atmosphere folder to my sd. After that, I copied my bootloader/hekate_ipl.ini and bootloader/res to SD.
Hello guys i have a huge problem. Last week, when i tried to boot into sys cfw via hekate, i got an error(Picture 1). Because i wanted to play online, i booted into ofw. Today, i wanted to try again with booting into rcm then hekate and then emummc and sysmmc. My mom deleted tegrarcm gui and the hekate_ctcaer.bin file for my hekate version. I reinstalled tegrarcmgui and downloaded the latest release of hekate because i forgot which version i had used before. When i sent paypload, an error appeared saying that i have to update my bootloader folder and there will be "dragons". I just pressed a key and it disaapeared. After that i tried booting into emummc and everything worked. Thdn i went back to hekate and booted into sysmmc. A yellow screen appeared (picture two) and i cannot do anything now. Please help me!
