This is a guide that will walk you step by step from stock to CFW. You'll have Atmosphere at the end.

Help appreciated -

Situation: I installed NXMTP to access Switch as a storage device on my PC. At first, I could see the device and the drives, but I wasn't able to write any files onto the SD card (i.e. the Paste function is greyed out). So I thought maybe updating the driver would help, and I ran Zadig to install ibusbK (v3.0.7.0). And now the Switch doesn't even show up in File Explorer anymore when I run Nxmtp.
PC still sees the device and I can still boot via payloader from it though.

Question: Is there any way I can restore the ability to see Switch as a storage device in Windows Explorer? Also, being able to write is also ideal.

My Switch has been fine for ages, about 4/5 weeks now.

Booted it up today to install MAS and copied it to my memory card, tried firing up tinfoil for a message to say update required, pressed A, was the only button I could and it said system restarting.

Did that now it goes through the atmosphere screen then just locks on a black screen :-/

Any ideas? I tried resmashing on terminal using fusee and the same issues. Was working flawlessly before, can't get past this screen even with the card out and holding down power for 15/20

Hello! I have sx core patched ersita switch. I am going to update my switch to 10.2.0 (Not necessarily now but looking forward to update it). So, how can I update it? Does Daybreak work on me or the only option is updating online? Thank you

EDIT: Updated SysNAND via genuine boot+official way and updated EmuNAND with ChoiDujourNX.

Hi, guys, I hope someone can help me:
I got an old hackable switch but I have not been able yet to install any game, everytime I copy the game with the nxdumper from the card game and try to install it later with any program like lithium, it says the date is corrupted.
I have formated, tried with fat 32, factory reset the switch... Still the same

My info is:
- I am using last version of Atmosphere downloaded from the official page.
- Use the fix gigs or the patches that you have to add to atmosphere as it recommends a few guides.
- I cannot install timfoil at all, everytime I try there is a white screen which brings me back to the Applenet. i cannot install it at all (using the latest version). I could install Lithium tho.
- last switch version 10.2
Any recommendations? Who you guys install the games?

I setup emunand on a 64gb sdcard with latest ams etc. and used it a bit even updated to latest versions yesterday.

My question is : when installing an nsp with goldleaf, it asks whether to install to system or sd card , right ? Sd card is raw folder on card I know that but what is the "system" referring to ? Is it the hidden partition on the sd card or the main memory on my switch -the real memory- I am asking this because some titles are huge and to try another one I always have to uninstall a big one first.

TLDR : is it safe to install to "system" with goldleaf on emunand or is it dangerous if I plan on going legal with the system partition and using emunand only for trying out new games etc.

It will install into the hidden partition, if you did set up the emunand.

Hi guys,

If anyone is getting crazy with not getting Tinfoil installed or games going corrupted.

I was using the wrong sig patches from some guide, please go in the forum and use the ones specific for you, in my case, fuse primary patches.

Now is all good! After one week fighting with my switch finally found it was this stupid thing...

Sorry if there has been a ton of these questions but I'm trying to get MAS to work, when I boot it kicks me back out to the home screen. I updated atmosphere and my sig patches and that didn't solve anything. Do I need to update the Switch firmware to 10.2.0?

Well i guess you created your emunand, from your system when you already had animal crossing installed. That means it copied over to the emunand's 'system' partition as well. It is save to delete it, when you are in emunand mode. Its still there on the ofw / nand.

Sorry for all the "silly" questions but this is the last one : how can I delete all of the saves of the games that were copied from sysnand into emunand in one swoop , not by going game by game in settings is there a way for this ?

HI guys! I'm back and recently I got an sd card for my main switch and i gave my old sd card to the switch that I'm able to hack. Currently I'm having a problem where I'm not able to boot the sx os screen back up when I place the license.dat file into the switch. I'm trying to figure out why. If this doesn't work at all I will just resort to using atmoshpere. Please let me know if someone know's how to fix this issue with sx os. P.S. I don't have a dongle, I use TegraRcmGUI.

What's the safest way to remove an emummc partion? I'm never going to take this thing online, and want it to just boot straight into the CFW without having to select an option in Hekate every time.

Greetings! i have a problem regarding Save States on the Mame 2003 Plus core of Retroarch.
I've been playing Ninja Baseball Batman on it and wanted to use a Save State to come back later and keep the progress going, but what happens is that, when i load the save state, Retroarch just crashes and sends me back to the main Switch menu.

im i doing something wrong or is it a problem that has no solution for now?
