using this:

could i use all CFWs?
true?

Hakate is enough, from hakate you can select any payload

 

[gizmomelb]

edit : in FAT32 it just CRASH ONLY MY SWITCH (not corrupted my sd card)

what firmware version have you upgraded your emuNAND to and which version of SX OS are you using?

 

[RY0M43CH1Z3N]

Yup, same here:

Same here in 7.0.1 with sx os 2.8

 

[cheungpakwan]

emunand 8.1.0 and sx os 2.8

what firmware version have you upgraded your emuNAND to and which version of SX OS are you using?

 

[Purple_Shyguy]

Yeah it worked fine for me yesterday but now it crashes every time it launches.

 

[EmulateLife]

Switch to atmosphere and enjoy sys clk, dock mode graphics on handheld, auto inject payload when crash. There are no reason to stick with SX

Let's just pretend playing games from external hard drive is not a thing. I'm closing my eyes and pretending and now.....you're right there's no reason to stick with SX.

christ, this thread got more salt than the dead sea.
i reckon if i printed it out i could float on it
btw, sx usb xci loading hello! learn the facts before spouting shit

 

[EmulateLife]

Any SX thread has tons of salt. Some people don't know how to live and let live. They can't handle when another person thinks differently than they do.

 

[Joshifer34]

Is there something that updates games? Instead of having to download them on a computer and all that

 

[guily6669]

I want is a SX OS update... I only use this installer to delete files from the mSD... hope they add OC support soon to SX OS and other missing features, and I specially would want a way to see temps+clocks of the SOC and maybe even fan speed control...

hello my setup was:

latest 2.8 sx os
emunand 7.0.1
sysnand 5.0.1

sd card is exfat - AutoRCM is enabled.

I did an emunand 7.0.1 Update to 8.1.0 by sx installer 2.0 and downloaded firmware here
https://repo.xecuter.rocks/fwpacks/

now the emunand is no longer booting (black screen) is there any way to fix this? what did i do wrong?

exfat is what you did wrong.

exfat + homebrew = corruption

You've most likely lost everything on your sd card.

so i need fat32? but is there not a 4gb file limitation?
so what can i do now to save my emunand / and or my savegames?

Your savegames are on your internal nand so they should be fine.

Everything else on the sd card is probably gone lost forever. The only thing you can do is try to copy everything on your sd card to your computer, format to Fat32 and copy everything back see if they work if they don't they're just gone due to corruption.

I feel like there needs to be a sticky that everyone needs to read if they're going to use switch cfw. There are ways around the 4 gb limitations. The easiest way since you're using sx os is just have a hard drive that's formatted to exfat and you can keep your games on it and you can either play the games off the hard drive if docked or if you want to install them with sx installer to your sd card. There is no 4 gb limit on your sd card even using fat32 if you do that. If you don't have a hard drive you can use then you just have to learn how to usb install your games from your computer with your usb type c cable which also bypasses the 4 gb limit.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Actually I just read that you updated and are getting a black screen, so maybe it's not corrupt. Try to update to latest sx os 2.8 beta if you're not already? Even if you're not corrupt i would change to fat32 anyway because you could get corruption at anytime and lose everything on your sd card using exfat it's just not worth it.

TX has been so boring lately. I want to see them do something new, something big damnit.

They were making moves last year but nothing at all here.

okay thank you - this will take some time but i will try this.

but are you sure that all data on the sd card is damaged? because i can boot into

i am not sure if it is corrupt. i copied emunand to a new fat32 sd card but still the black screen.
i can boot into cfw and original firmware with no problem- but emunand now stays on black screen on both exfat and fat32 card.

im on sx os 2.8 beta downloaded from the homepage. the emunand was updated to 8.1.0 with the new sx installer method.

 

[RY0M43CH1Z3N]

After try everything. I reach a solution: Download the 1.52 version and update to 2.00. DON'T open this version. Connect to a WiFi and then, open the app. This works for me to update to 8.1.0

 

[EmulateLife]

It might have corrupted your emunand only. I don't use emunand so I'm not the expert on it.

 

[Deleted User]

This is great for people who want to add support to their homebrew on lower firmware.

 

[smf]

I just don't personally recommend it because it requires a payload everytime. Which is inconvenient for me because i don't have a dongle.

Why would your personal circumstances be relevant to your recommendations to other people?

I would still recommend a dongle + autorcm as the most convenient solution, even if I had chosen to inconvenience myself by using something else to deploy the payload.
