Hi! Quick one,

I bought a 256 GB SanDisk Ultra SDXC card, hoping to upgrade my old SD which was only 32 GB.

When I tried installing all the necessary files to get my switch to boot up, (using TegraRCMgui) I get the error that it's not reading the SD card at all.
This happens for both ReinX and Hekate bin files.

Is there something I need to do to make the 265GB card work? Or do I need to buy a new one since it's not compatible?

Greatly appreciate the help!
I'd suggest you to check your sd card with h2testw. There are many fake sd cards floating around.

I'm on firmware 6.2.0. What can I do to my Switch?
First of all, check whether your switch is patched or not: https://ismyswitchpatched.com/

Thank you. I will be sure to do that first.

EDIT: I checked and it seems like a dud. I used SD insight app and it said

"SD CARD IS INVALID"
Model: APPSD
Size: 268 GB

Does this mean it's not usable at all for my Switch? @pLaYeR^^

I've been trying to extract ronfs and exefs from many different nsps and Xci but either the nsp doesn't have a title key, it says "
: : No Titlekey found! Enter Titlekey manually!"
I get the title key from HxD hex editor then I post it.
When I do that it says "Invalid NCA header! Are keys correct?
Done!

: : Wrong Titlekey! will not be extracted!"

I've also tried Xcis, when I do I get "Invalid Xci Partition!"

I'm not sure what to do, should I just buy the game to dump it?

I've been using NCA-NSP-XCI_TO_LayeredFS and EXTRT_v2.1_NSP+NCA+XCI.

Hi everyone I have a switch that is currently on the latest firmware I am thinking of getting a Dongle from Xecuter, but I just wanna ask if with the xecuter pro I can still boot up to the OFW? and also when I visit the webpage for the Xecuter there is SX Pro and SX OS, what should I get?

It seems to be fake. Format the sd card to FAT32 and try again. If that doesn't work as well, try it with another sd card.

Yes, you can boot in OFW by choosing "Boot original FW" in the SX OS boot menu. The advantage of the SX Pro is that you don't need to connect your switch to your PC or smartphone to inject the SX payload.

Is there a way to transfer files wirelessly or through USB using Atmosphere?

Just kind of tired of having to turn off the Switch, take out the card, put into PC, etc.

Just a question what should I do after updating my Nintendo Switch with ChoiDujourNX when I want to stop use it without booting OFW and without powering it off? Thanks in advance for answers. (I did not tried it since my Nintendo Switch was already in the last firmware before I hacked it I just want to know in case I need it.)
I'm not sure I understand the question. If you don't want to boot OFW or turn it off, then you can just leave it in sleep mode while running CFW?

I always used hactool for extracting since its not designed to fail unless one of the keys are wrong unlike one of the many GUIs spawned from it. Also in case you haven't already, you can try dumping all of your keys with Lockpick to ensure you have the right keys for the job. Lastly, you can try looking up what the titlekey is supposed to be online.

Final question!

Reminder: I'm using 6.2.0. when following this Tutorial.

Following the guide.sdsetup.com tutorial. I'm only modding for CFW and Tinfoil/Goldleaf. Is everything up-to-date on guide.sdsetup? I've read about certain Patches I may need to drop in a folder while on 6.2.0.

I've not yet completed my modding. I'm just starting and I've got to use an 8gb MicroSD to backup my NAND, so it'll be awhile until I would be able to start pushing the things I need to play Dark Souls.

Thank you for the help the past couple of days. I didn't have a USB-C to USB-A, but I finally picked up one. I'm excited to Softmod my 4th Nintendo Console!

So, which dns is the best to go with a hacked switch online (appstore) and block nintendo services (not to get banned but also not to use them)? Is this possible!? Or will I get autobanned as soon i go online?

But that's for selfhosting one. Isn't there any hosted one out?
You can host it yourself but there are some hosted in public. Look at their GitHub page :)

Edit:
I have a setup of this on 163.172.141.219, feel free to use it yourself (see "Usage on Switch").

Also there's a copy of it hosted on 45.248.48.62 by Adran. Thanks Adran!

Hi everyone, I'm about to buy a switch with a non-patched s/n
I would like to know if there's a simple way I can check in the shop (before buying it) that the Switch has not been banned by Nintendo?
Thanks a lot for your help

Why should a new switch be banned? I guess you want to check if its patched. If you know the s/n you can check it here: https://ismyswitchpatched.com/

    @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.

    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."

  • 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
