Hi since Atmosphere 1.10 an FW21.0 I am not able to load via tegra with latest fusee.

I got Error 0xffe when launching Atmosphere how to fix this?

Should I buy the core mod chip, V2 mod chip or the 3 in 1 (for V2 installation)? What is the difference between all three?

I recently bought a Nintendo Switch, and the jailbreak was done for me by the same person I bought it from. I wanted to be able to download Tinfoil so I wouldn't have to pay every time I wanted new games, but it came with a version of Tinfoil updated to 20.0, and only retro games are showing up. Does anyone know how to get Nintendo Switch games to appear? I don't have much experience with this because I'm just starting to become a Nintendo user. Is there anyone who knows and can help me?

Could someone explain to me what does Exosphere do beside blanking out your switch info? Does nintendo still ban you if you go online like pokemon games to receive mystery gifts through their promos vs like online play, and battle versus?

I recently had my OLED Switch modded with a Picofly chip from So-Cal. I've noticed that when I launch into CFW EMUMMC, the screen isn't very bright - as if the backlight is off. Specifically, the Atmosphere logo shows at start, with normal backlit brightness. After that, the Nintendo Switch logo shows, again with normal backlit brightness. But then after a second, the Nintendo Switch logo dims, as if the backlight has been turned off. When the menus load, they continue to remain un-backlit, continuously, for the duration of use.

Whereas if I launch into OFW SYSMMC, the startup Nintendo Switch logo and then the menus remain continuously bright and backlit, for the duration of use.

Is there a reason the CFW EMUMMC seems to disable the backlight? Is there a fix for this? Will it affect any games that I install and run via CFW EMUMMC?

Thanks.

Hi! So I’ve been having issues with my Switch (jailbroken and fully updated to the latest Atmosphere CFW and OFW) battery draining quickly for awhile. It was draining at about 1-2% every minute, while occasionally just completely shitting the bed and falling from 100% to 20% in a few minutes.

I thought it might be a software issue and tried a few things - re-syncing clocks and battery cycling. Nothing fixed the problem.

I eventually bit the bullet and decided to just do a battery swap through Ifixit. Looks like it might have not fixed anything (although it’s too hard to tell).

So far the massive drain has ceased, but the battery remains draining at about the previous rate of about 1% every minute.

Does anyone know what might be done about this?

Hey I have a v1 modded switch with atmosphere and tin foil I haven’t used it for a few years and I want to get it set up

Need some help updating all of it so it’s latest and all working ready for gaming retro and Nintendo

Need help removing games that aren’t installed show up as black boxes on the home screen and I can’t see them anywhere to delete even on the root sd card

Does anyone know why I can’t download pokemon legends za on tinfoil ? It downloads in like 5 seconds and then it appears as “complete” and doesn’t show in my system

Back in September I replaced the OEM battery of my V1 Switch with an IFixIt battery replacement. It was working fine until literally 2 days ago. The battery is fully charged but when I boot into the game it prompts me a the low battery icon at the center of screen. Anyone knows how to fix this issue?

I need some advice, my chip for a switch lite will not boot to my pc. Yes, I held down the boot button while plugging it in and all that happens is the led light stays blue for a couple seconds then flashes yellow twice and then yellow twice soon after. I can’t find a guide that tells me what the blinking codes are. This is brand new and shouldn’t have any firmware on it, but I’m half tempted to install it and see if it works. Thanks in advance.

anybody know why my switch doesnt work(doesnt turn on) properly when i turn it off completely but woks fine when i put it in homebrew?

Hi, not sure if anyone will see this. I figured I should ask anyway because I can't find anything on this.

I'm playing Hello Kitty Island Adventure, on V2.11.0. I've downloaded and installed the DLC for wheatflower wonderland but it won't show up in game. The deluxe stuff did show up, but WW isn't. I've finished the potion hunt quests and I've unlocked the net, so I don't think it's because I didn't do the prerequisite quests. I'm seeing people say that I need to eject and inject the virtual game card to get it to work, but (I think) obviously I can't do that because my copy isn't legitimate.

I'm on newest Atmosphere, Hekate, etc. I have up to date sigpatches. I've tried uninstalling the DLC with Goldleaf, reinstalling it, downloading from a different source, etc. I'm really lost on what to do. I also turned my switch on and off again.

Hi guys sorry to try to ask here but i already try to find the answer but can't find it

I try to desync my battery using battery desync since the % is error

I already initialized the apps and now should drain my battery to 0% for the 1st time

I have 2 question 1. After it reach 0% and the switch turned off by itself should i try to turn it on again ? Since it usually still can turn on ( to battery blinking logo ) even after 10-20 times

1. After it fully turned of the instructions said to charge without it turned on , but how to do it since if i charge it will automatically boot to hekate .

Thank you

If I let my switch power down to disable the mods, is it safe to use all online functions like normal?

I posted this as new post but the mod comment said to use this post.

Hi guys, I recently bought a used switch oled. The owner had already modded and has some games. He didn’t have much info on how it’s done ( as he gave to someone to do it) By googling, I found it’s done as SysMCC method (firmware has S at end).

It has 128gb card in it and some games.

Now, I’ve been reading Reddit and Google searches including NHSwitch guide but I couldn’t get clarity on the following

1. Can I let the switch die or reboot (I assume it’s ok as this is probably mod chipped)
2. Can I turn on Internet. The previous owner told me to leave on airplane mode but can I update system firmware through OTA or not possible?
3. I don’t plan to play online games but will I be able to just buy physical cards and play if I don’t want to go through all the ROM installs
4. Will the mod chip cause any issues if I’m flying abroad or TSA in general
5. Finally, if I ever want to go stock, not want to deal with any of these, is the only way to do so is hardware change (remove mod chip)or can I just reset and be good to go?

Anyone managed to get Torbox Tinfoil server set up to display files?

This error is happening more and more frequently on the original part of the console. It usually happens when I open a game or the Nintendo Shop since I upgraded my console to "magic," and I don't know if it's bad or how to fix it. Can you help me?

Finished all my currently installed games and now want to update before installing new ones. Is 20.0.5 the latest stable firmware? Have anyone got running Trails in the Sky remake on it?

Recently my Switch 1 is console banned, but got myself a new Switch 1. But while I can access to my account from the banned switch to a new unmodded Switch, I can't get anything because of those virtual game cards. What can I do to fix this problem ?

I'm running Minecraft on Atmosphere so I can't connect to Nintendo's servers cause I'm afraid to get banned. I'd like to get the DBZ dlc but I've heard it can't be installed as an NSP cause it's content that has to be installed through the shop only somehow.

Is there any way at all for me to be able to play the Minecraft DBZ dlc on my Switch running on Atmosphere? I really don't mind paying to get it, just don't wanna get banned.

Hi, after playing pirated Legends ZA I've been wanting to go back into the other Pokemon Switch games (which I own physically) and try to complete the national pokedex in Pokemon Home, but I'm not sure how safe it is since the Switch is pirated, even though I would be doing it from SYSMMC. Any idea?

Thanks!

I ran into this error while upgrading emummc to 20.5 I am not sure what the issue is

Just updated my sysMMC to 21.1.0 and now 99% of the homebrew apps aren't compatible.
Did I royally screw myself?

Didn't install emuMMC (didn't want to double wear on the card).

Did Switch Hacking Is Still Easy go down? I haven't done this in over a year and now trying to do my brothers.

getting back into modding after ~2 years, switch is on 16.0.0 fw + atmosphere version. was thinking of doing a clean update of everything (missioncontrol, atmosphere, sigpatches, hekate, etc), but is there any reason to if im not playing anything new? using hekate 6.0.6 which is very outdated by the looks of it

Hi, I'm planning on hacking my v1 Switch and I had some pokemon related questions:

1) If I inject past raids into a Scarlet/Violet save file, would I be able to do local offline co-op with my Switch 2? I've missed out on a bunch of the 7 star raids and would like to do it with my Switch 2. I have both physical copies of Scarlet & Violet so I'm not using any pirated software.

2) I want to edit my trainer ID in a bunch of games. I'm starting over and I was planning on editing the saves via pkhex and then transferring the saves to my switch 2. If I edit the trainer IDs before they communicate with the internet would it be safe from being banned? I plan on playing them offline since only Legends ZA is the game I play online any more other than Scarlet which I'm not planning on editing the trainer ID.

3) After editing the trainer IDs I want to transfer them to my Switch 2. Would this be advisable or nah? I'm okay if they get banned from online but I don't want my Switch 2 to be console banned.

Does Chiaki and other homebrew work with lastest HATS pack and 21.1.0?

Can someone help me?

Are Nintendo's proprietary micro SD cards the best for hacking the Switch?

I’m new to using homebrew and i have a question that i can’t find answers. Is it possible to use the bluetooth on switch while using moonlight? My english isn’t the best so i will try to be more detailed on what i’m trying to say. While using moonlight to stream my pc to my switch, i want to connect controllers via bluetooth but i don’t want to connect my controllers to my pc because i’m not near my pc (at another room or not even at home, something like that). So i want to connect my controllers to switch, is it possible?

Is anybody else having problems with running SSBU 13.0.4 with Arcropolis and Skyline installed? If so, what did you do to work around it/fix it? I followed all instructions and the game won't run even with no mods installed yet...

Why does RetroArch show me a black screen when I start a game with citra core?

hey, i've been struggling with sys-patch and sigpatches, what should i know about them and how do i properly install sys-patch? do i need to use something else that isn't atmosphere to make it work?

I Had Last Time many Problems and someone helped me and my Switch was running again, but after an Update of the Software i Had the Same Problems again. So i try to Update everything and i still Had the Same Problem. Than i Reinstall this time everything. Atmosphere, hekate,... Now i have the Problem that If i try to launch IT in the menu i get "hekate_ipl No entries", i Go to more config and IT says "No ini File in bootloader/ini/" than i try to launch IT over the payloads with fusee.bin. this Starts the cfw for a few Seconds, my Home Button gets a blue Ring again and i get a Crash. I dont know what to do. Can someone pls Help me?

Its a Switch V1, newest Software aka Firmware 21.1.0, Atmosphere IS 1.10.1, Hekate IS 6.4.2

and for the Mods, I hope your sleeves slip down when you wash your hands.
my problem is not under Common Atmosphere Errors

My son updated a switch game, cuphead, and I am stuck with this error "a fatal error occured when running fusee unable to identify package1!" I have attempted a fresh install of atmosphere/hekate with no luck. V1 switch. I can normal boot and inject hekate. I just cannot figure out how to unfuck this please help.

I checked the FAQ I looked thru a good chunk of it and used the search function. I haven't found anything that would help me.

Edit: my son was incorrect. He did not update a game he updated ofw... So I was running under the assumption I still needed the same atmosphere/hekate/sys-patch. Updated to the pre release 1.10.0 atmosphere and I'm fixed. Only thing I can say is that a lot of apps are not compatible with 1.10.0 yet.

Discord link doesnt work

There's a guide explaining how to transfer saves from Ryubing (PC emulator) to legit Switch games? If yes, what are the risks to being banned? Thx

What emulators can I install on switch lite w/ ultra? Any guides / pages on that?

Anyone know if legends ZA got updated at all and where can be downloaded? for the diancie or mewtwo mission

is it worth trying to stay on 18.1.0? on one hand, ALMOST everything i want to play works just fine already. some more recent stuffs needs a quick sak-master patch but work fine otherwise. so basically only like dreamlight valley updates (my daughter didn't even love it so not a huge deal) and prime 4 seem to be off the table with 18.1.0. i'd love to be able to demo prime 4 but whatever if i need to go in blind to a game on my switch 2 that's not a big deal.

on one hand i like keeping the option open for more robust homebrew/modding even though i'm generally not a heavy user of that stuff. on the other hand, are people that are developing stuff even going to be bothering with it anymore or have they basically all just moved onto 20/21 and are resigned to the lower memory issue

Good morning everyone, I tried to download a game update but it always remains at the previous version. What should I do?

I just bought a Switch OLED with 21.0.1 firmware
Is it possible to hack it?

Hi, i sucesfully installed some games, but some others cannot install and get an athmosphere crash error (Error Code 2349-0008). It is strange because the other games run nice. I have the latest hats pack and fw 21.0.0, v1 switch.

I have a v1, 21.0.0 firmware, atmosphere 1.10.0 pre release, and hekate 6.3.1 and whenever I launch applet mode it gives me “this application does not support the current abi” and when I try to open a game with the right bumper it goes into a constant loop of the loading pop up appearing and disappearing. Anyone know how to solve/experienced this issue?

So I'm thinking about getting my Switch chipped. Will I be able to get ROM hacks for the games I already have the cartridge for? Sorry if this is an obvious question, but I just want to know if it's possible, and how it's done😅

Installing sys-patch requires using an overlay. What is an overlay and how is it different from a normal application? How do I install it, do I just unzip the syspatch zip at the root and that puts the overlay in the right place? Once the overlay is installed, how do I run it?

Hi, I’ve got a few questions and I couldn’t reply on the HATS pack post (sorry if they are dumb questions I’ve never modded before and don’t wanna mess it up):

1. Do you need an rcm jig if you have a modded v2?
2. Do you still need to inject payloads on v2?
3. When should the switch be connected to a computer when booting hekate?
4. How do you format to fat32 in hekate?

What is this icon and why can’t I play the game I’m banned from Nintendo server got game from torrent

Hi, i need help with my switch, when i turn on it remain on the screen of hekate, not the menu but only the title of hekate, someone can help me?

the cause was a file from the website sthetix, the file name HATS

Will the game and homebrew work when I install the new hats? I wonder if it has been tried?

Hey everyone I recently bought a Nintendo Switch Lite (modded) and joined the club It held a good charge when the console was on or in sleep mode until last night when I fully charged the device and left it completely off (not in sleep mode). After 24 hours, the charge was completely zero. Do you think there is a problem with my device's battery?

I get an error message after installing themes on 20.5 and restarting the switch, how do i fix it ?

I bought a switch oled dual boot off of fb market place. How do I do the equivalent of a factory reset without affecting the save files? I wanted to removed all the apps that the prior user might have installed that i dont plan on using.

i have a updated nintendo switch lite (21.0) and i bought the HWFLY to unlock him.

I need to wait a new version of cfw or i can install the chip normally?

What are the best ways to install XCI and NSP files? Especially now with the most recent breaking change that Nintendo did that also affects homebrew. I see Awoo Installer has been updated but I know nothing about the world of all of these installers, I saw Goldleaf mentioned but I don't know what's best to use. Also do I need to worry about reinstalling everything with every firmware update when I choose to update the switch? I'm very new to this

Is it safe to only update OFW to the newest update and not any cfw?

i really need help i got a 2002 3005 and I cant even go into RCM mode

Someone on the discord recommended the SHISE guide instead of HATS because of improper configs and bloat. Thoguhts?

Noob question sorry if it sounds stupid: Just want to be extra sure, but does partitioning the sd card in hekate also format it to fat32 in the process?

I checked my sd card info in hekate and the file system does say it's fat32, but it doesn't show what file system it's in (just says generic hierarchical) when I view it through my pc. I didn't format the sd card before partitioning. Ive already set everything up after partitioning, and my switch has been working fine so far (did all this almost a month ago). I'm using a Samsung pro plus 256gb micro sd card if that's any important. Thanks if anyone could help

I have an issue since a while ago either of these 2 things happens

1.- i got a black screen when i turn on my Switch. 2.- When i run the emuMMC the console gets stuck on the Nintendo Switch Logo.

Is something i can fix?

I’m getting error code 2123-0011. I’m on fw 20.5.0 and I have what I think are the correct versions of the exosphere, default, and emummc files.

This is a newly modded switch. Never played a game on cfw before. I started with the switch hacks guide but then used HATS. The hacks guide I think didn’t include sigpatches, so that’s why i then used HATS. This latest error has only been showing up on the HATS update. Previously I was getting error code 2155-8007z

I’ve looked for solutions for hours and nothing has worked.

I'm trying to get Retroarch games to be on main menu, but following the NSP Forwarder Generator, I'm only getting blank white boxes with a loading icon, where clicking it gives error "could not start the software"

I'm pretty sure im putting all the correct info into it, and installing with Awoo/Goldleaf give an error it cant install it, while DBI installs it in 0secs once it did 11sec and then the white box shows up. https://imgur.com/De4mILO , https://imgur.com/4V9N188

hi, I'm at this step of modding my switch, but when I press "Launch" and then "Atmosphere PXG3 sysMMC, it says "Unknown Pkel version. HoOs uersion not sueported! Tryins backup bootloader... found Pkg1 version. HOS version not supported! Failed to launch HOS! Press any key... What do I do?

Can I modify my Nintendo Switch if I have Switch Online enabled? And if so, after modifying it, how can I still access online content without being banned?

So yeah I updated my stock swicth to the newest version and cant access stock version no more. My question is can this be fixed by simply waiting for a new atmosphere version or im a cooked. If it can be fixed how?

i just have a quick question. since the switch and switch lite have the same processor. can i just use a switch mod cable instead of a switch lite one?

I Just got a modded switch without a mod chip and i turned it on on hekate and i pressed power off and it won’t turn on again what do i do

When updating my cow for my switch, when I’ve copied the newest HATS package release into the firmware folder on my sd card, do I also extract the download in the firmware folder?

What does it mean when you have no main boot entries found on the launch tab on hekate?

Has anyone found a workaround yet for these new digital game cards that wrre introduced in the new update? Or should I be buying physical copies?

It seems logical that a program that runs the game in order to access program files transparently in the background while the game runs offline would provide a backdoor way to dump games.

anyone has a simple tutorial on how to download mods? like botw mods, mkd8 mods and stuff

Am I running a risk if I download and update games and such while in atmosphere, or should I power down and boot up normally download what I want or update what I want and then power down fully again and reinject the payload?

Problema principale:

il mio Nintendo Switch v1 Modded non mantiene sempre un segnale video stabile quando è collegato a un dock economico o ad altri adattatori. A volte funziona subito, altre volte il segnale si interrompe. Dettagli importanti: 

1. Dock e adattatori: il dock economico funziona bene per un po', ma il segnale può interrompersi. Il dock ufficiale non funziona, ma ho notato una differenza tra Switch e quello di un amico. Gli adattatori USB-C/HDMI e i cavi economici possono causare interruzioni del segnale. Alcuni adattatori non vengono rilevati dal PC, mentre altri sì.

2. Porta USB-C della console: non sembra danneggiata: la console si carica, funziona in modalità portatile e anche con dock temporanei. Temo che pin allentati o connessioni scadenti possano causare problemi intermittenti.

3. Alimentazione e compatibilità: l'utilizzo di un alimentatore GaN o di un dock certificato da 65 W funziona pe quando sono solo nel menu della switch per ore. Quando inizio a giocare per un lungo periodo, inizia a presentare problemi e interruzioni. Poi ho provato giochi che non richiedono molta energia, come Hotline Miami, e il segnale è stabile con il gioco, ma con gli altri, questo maledetto segnale cade sempre. Alcuni adattatori portatili o economici funzionano solo per brevi periodi (ad esempio, 1 ora) prima che il segnale cada.

Ho passato la maggior parte del tempo a risolvere i problemi del segnale video e del dock/adattatore. Ho sperimentato con diverse TV, dock ufficiali ed economiche, cavi USB-C e HDMI e impostazioni come gamma e HDR. Nonostante tutto, sto cercando di risolvere il problema da due settimane. Aiuto...

I cannot get 20.5.0 onto my SD card. Mods, keep deleting my post telling me the answer is here. It's not, but maybe someone that is here can help.

I get an error message about "write protections" and cannot extract the .zip file containing the firmware update to the SD card. I have tried extracting and placing into a folder named /firmware/ and other names. I cannot copy this file specifically to my switch SD card. I was, however, able to copy other files to update atmosphere and everything else. Can someone help me please???

To anyone who wouldn’t mind helping me out ….i downloaded a “breath of the wild “nsp on my modded v1 switch, and the base game on its own is working okay, but when I install the update it stops working ,and the “Nintendo switch “ logo just loops with a black background. Is there any way to fix this ? I want to play the game, but I feel I would enjoy it more with the update rather than the base version only .

If you’ve experienced something similar , or have knowledge on how to fix this please help a brother out 🙏
