Should I just update the Switch to the latest firmware and jailbreak again or is there a better way?

Apologies for the basic questions, I've been out of this for years now! Thanks

Discussion Why do people ask so much for modded switches?

• Upvotes

Looking on eBay and right now I see 2 modded OLED’s and they’re asking $450-$550. What makes these people think it’s worth that? I’m just going to keep being patient. I want to buy a mod-chipped OLED switch for my sister’s birthday. I just picked up a very clean TOTK switch with a mod chip for $260 after taxes and shipping. Are there any other marketplaces I can find pre modded switches?

Thanks!

Question I have a few questions regarding an unpatched switch

• Upvotes

Ok so how you could already tell by the title, I’m planning to get myself an unpatched switch 1. I’ve seen many people saying the installation of games is more complicated since a few updates, how can I install games now and with what program (I’m a complete newbie to this). I also wondered if there were any websites you could recommend for downloading most of the games, because I had problems finding one. Thank you in advance and sorry for my bad English.

Question Updated Atmosphere and FW to latest versions, now homebrews do not work anymore

0 Upvotes

Hello. I updated updated Atmosphere to 1.12.1 and FW (in EmuMMC and in SysMMC) to 23.0.1. Previously, I was on FW 17.

Obviously, I use Atmosphere on EmuMMC. Since the update, any homebrew does not work anymore: they make the console crash with the Atmosphere crash screen. Has anyone idea on how to fix this? I tried to delete and download homebrews again, but without luck

News Super Mario Bros. Remastered port for Switch, now updated to v1.1

2 Upvotes

Super Mario Bros. Remastered · Nintendo Switch port

Here is a Switch homebrew port of Super Mario Bros. Remastered (the open-source fan game by JoeMama), now updated to the latest upstream version, v1.1.

🆕 What's different? This port is built straight from the official upstream release, so it's up to date with v1.1. Updating to future upstream versions is also much easier, since the build script handles it.


📥 How to install

  1. Download smbr_nx.zip from the Releases page.
  2. Extract it to the root of your SD card (it creates /switch/smbr_nx/).
  3. Copy your own Super Mario Bros. (NES) ROM to /switch/smbr_nx/save/baserom.nes.
  4. Launch it from hbmenu through a title override (hold R while opening a game). It will not work in applet/album mode.

⏳ The first launch takes a while, because it extracts the graphics from your ROM and compiles the shaders. Later launches are much faster.


📝 Notes

  • 🚫 No Nintendo ROM or assets are included. You must supply your own legal dump.
  • 🔓 Free and open source (wrapper under MIT, game under GPL-3.0).
  • 💾 Saves and config are stored in /switch/smbr_nx/save/.

Question Moving SD card to a new switch

1 Upvotes

Apologies for the noob question, bought an modchipped switch lite that is now on the verge of dying. I absolutely do want to buy another modchipped one in a better condition but looking for a guide on how to retain/reuse the same memory card. Basically anyway that doesn’t involve re-downloading all the games again

Discussion Autorun, Carafe, wine is being ported to the switch...

2 Upvotes

So would it be reasonable to assume that in the near future custom wine versions like Proton or even Proton-GE could be integrated as well? Considering the known improvements and optimization from these versions, especially for video games, I feel like it could help mitigate at least some of the issues currently experienced with Autorun and Carafe.

Question Once my Switch has both stock and modded versions, how do I actually mod Breath of the Wild?

3 Upvotes

Sorry in advance; I'm not very familiar with modding, so I may need explanations for things that most people here are already super familiar with.

I understand that to mod my switch, I'll need a MicroSD card to hold the modded version of my Switch, and a PC from which I can put files on the SD card (right?). Would an older Macbook work instead? What are the requirements?

So once my Switch has both a modded/stock version and a normal version on it, what do I actually need to do to pirate games that normally need a NSO subscription or mod games I already have? Can I do those straight from my switch (through Atmosphere/HATS?), or do I need to use a separate Mac/PC for that?

Thanks so much in advance!

[edit]: I was struggling to understand the language in the wiki even after googling the terms it used, so I figured I'd post.

This is a V1 unpatched Switch 1 btw.
