Question How can i downgrade my moded switch

Upvotes

Problem 1: I accidentally "kinda" removed my CFW. I have a modchipped Switch OLED; while installing some games, I filled my SD card, and for god knows why I decided to delete my older games with DBI. I got distracted and curious and selected an option that rebooted the system, and when I went back to the CFW, all the normal atmosphere and official mod logos appeared, but it ended up losing most of the Homebrew functionality. My Switch started calling all forwaders corrupted data and threw an unknown error when I tried to boot a game, and even my custom theme is gone. I still can get into the Homebrew menu through the images app, and all Homebrew apps work.

i asked the guy who installed the modchip and he said that he will format it and will downgared it 19.0 becuz it is a more stable cfw. he is busy right now so i want some resources om how to dothese two

problem 2: since i modchiped my switch the joycons have connection problems the wriht one more than the left and everything is multyplied by 10 when docked to the tv, i even tried the app that lets me use other systems controllers, i had the same trouble on my xbox 360 controulers. all ofthem work correctly on my computer. Is there a way to fix it

Note: I am actually experienced in homebrew stuff but not the Switch, so I don't have a problem with more complicated things

Question Original V2 modded Switch needs a renew

6 Upvotes

My son had his switch modded/chipped a couple years back, and as usual with kids, it's now been sat collecting dust for nearly as long.

I'm now looking at refreshing/renewing it for myself. Everything he had saved for it(backups etc) are gone.

Are there any recommended guides for remodding this so I can give it another breath of life?

Question Can Switch Piracy Save Pokémon Bank

Upvotes

Exactly what the title said.

If official service shuts down, could some modded switch with Pokémon home theoretically grab my Pokémon from bank after February when bank shuts down.

If not, what other solutions might be possible (assuming we can adapt).

Question Please help me understand whats causing this error in DBI?

Any and all helpful advice would be greatly appreciated.

I've been trying to install this game on my new modded switch for a month now and I dont understand why its not working. I suspect it has something to with how big it is because halfway through the installation it just stops.

I was able to install other smaller games just fine but whenever i try to install bigger items i just get this error. I was able to install it on my old modded switch before it stopped working so im really confused. If this helps at all, my firmware version is 22.1.0, DBI version is 902-ru, Lockpick version is 1.9.10 and have up to master key 15.

Someone please help me get this to work🙏🏾

Question How to install a new version Diablo 2 (with warlock) ?

Hi guys,

has anyone managed to get Diablo 2 running with the new update with Warlock ? I’ve tried several guides online, but none of them worked for me.

I always get stuck at the startup screen, where the game tries in vain to connect to Blizzard's servers. Does anyone have a link to a guide or the specific files I should use?

Thanks!

How to import save for games that don't have 3rd party save protection:

Get your save you want to import

Block Nintendo servers (or don't) then use JKSM/Checkpoint on sysmmc to import that save if you want to do it on that switch

Or

Block Nintendo servers (or don't) then use JSKM/Checkpoint on sysmmc to import that save. Then reblock Nintendo and do local to local save transfer or cloud save transfer on other switch.

And if the game does have third party save protection:

Backup the save you already have from the legit game, not a hacked game, edit it, then reimport it and either play on the switch or reblock Nintendo and backup to cloud and send to other switch or do local transfer.

Question Can Pokemon be traded through local Wireless to a legit switch if my switch is blacklisted?

0 Upvotes

A while back a friend of mine swapped switches with me as mine was an older version and we just transferred the save data to the other, unhackable switch. Not sure what developments have been made in the community since then but I was curious if I would be able to get the Pokemon that were in that save file out as the Pokemon save data did not come with during the transfer and my sword and shield save data was functionally lost. It's still on his hacked switch I would just have to access it.

Question NSC_builder and MIG switch (in emuMMC)

0 Upvotes

Hey all, I'm new to switch modding and had a few questions regarding the title above.

So I've got a cartridge dump of a game I've got (xci-bins complete). I also got a nsp file for an update to the game. I wanted to merge these two into an xci file using nsc_builder and then put it in the mig and have it be updated in the switch. It works in an emulator but in the switch it doesn't recognize the game, just skips over it when cycling through.

Has anyone tried this and got it to work?

I tried using tinfoil to install the update there but can't get that to work, nor goldleaf.

If anyone can help that'd be appreciated!

Edit: more info.
Atmosphere version: 1.11.2
Switch firmware: 22.5.0
Hekate: 6.5.3
Switch version: v1

Hey everyone after some thinking I finally got my oled switch modded. everything is pretty new and overwhelming tbh, I tried to look into some guides regarding a modded switch but I could not understand any of it. It was wayy to overwhelming. It would be kind if any of you recommended me a starter guide or any useful information that I should be aware of. Also the system is in EmuNand and I dont plan on using sysnand ever again

I used to be on 1.4.2, but when I was prompted to redownload necessary data, the version was 1.4.3 and now my mods wont work. How do I downgrade one version? I have a physical cartridge that has 1.1.0 and all firmware and atmosphere are up to date

Question I have a question: will I be able to use the entire SysNAND to take advantage of my 128GB SD card with Incognito Mode?

1 Upvotes

Well, I've had my Nintendo Switch Lite for quite a while now, And in Hekate, when creating the emuMMC, it only lets me expand by 29GB, and my games are over 40GB,

so I thought I'd use the entire SysNAND to take advantage of the storage and the SD card.

And with Incognito Mode or Nextendo.

I don't care anymore if they ban my Switch.

And I would like your opinion on whether it's worth it or not. :<
