how did it go?

[@DrBeefy]

I feel bad that you paid for a v1 at this point. Other versions can be modded now for like 10 bucks. Also there is the mig switch.

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

@@DrBeefy depends how much he paid for a v1 unboxed. I think it will definitely go up in value considering how it gets rarer as time goes by. Where did you find someone to mod the switch for 10 bucks? Sounds unlikely. Also mig switch is totally different, it just plays pirated games which is different from cfw. And it's proprietary. I did preorder one for testing and video content but if I was just a user and has a modded switch, definitely wouldn't buy it.

Good stuff and nice video i was wondering if you could do a video on the new system update and how to update a modded switch to the update

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

Ok coming up

[@underourrock]

So you now have to use a computer to boot your switch every time it is shutdown or rebooted in order to inject hekate. That's a bit of a pain. Thanks for showing the process from the beginning and how it works.

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

Actually you can use your phone with a usb-c cable. There's payload injector apps for android and iOS. Or you can buy a RCM injector tool. So it can be done without a computer. I try to keep the switch on sleep rather than shutdown so I don't need to inject frequently.

[@underourrock]

@@GrownUpGamingGUG thank you for the options! Knew about the basic rcm jig, but didn't know about the injector. If I can have one of those in my case when I travel then I don't have to worry about rebooting thoughtlessly. I don't always have C to C cables with me as some of my older chargers are still type A to C.

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

I prefer c-c cable, just put one in the switch carrying case. I had a RCM injector back from sxos era, they require power so you have to charge it from time to time and obviously when you want to boot up the switch it is always out of power.

[@underourrock]

Great tutorial. I have got to a point in the video that I cannot go any further, I am guessing this is because I made the switch firmware update to 18.01 prior to my jailbreak attempt.

I launched the fuse payload and I was able to get home page on switch/ from there when i clicked on the album I received an error message and could reboot. if anyone has any tips please let me know. Recommend doing an update video when there is an update to atmosphere.

[@CommunitySkratch]

why was everyone making a partition if the emu works on your sd card

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

File based is easier to backup and transfer to another SD card if needed. People were afraid Nintendo can see the contents of the SD card if it were file based and ban you but I've not been banned. Also some say partition is faster than file based, but I don't feel any difference.

[@MakerManX]

Everytime I try to run tinfoil installer, a message saying "corrupt data has been detected" appears. Also, I've already manually installed sigpatches

A quick question, what’s the difference between sysnand and stock launcher (looks to me that they boot the same thing), and what’s the difference between emunand and atmosphere?

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

Per my understanding, sysnand is the place where the original firmware is located, you can boot into custom firmware with this location but it's not recommended as it leaves a trace that you've tempered with it and if you go online afterwards you could get banned. Emunand is like a virtual machine separate from sysnand so you can boot into custom firmware here and do all the mods and play backups here safely. atmosphere is the name of the custom firmware. Stock firmware is the original firmware otherwise known as horizon os.

[@crazynjman]

this may be a very noob question but if i replace the sd card currently in my switch now with a new one and follow the steps in the video is the jailbreak stored on the sd card. like if i put my old sd card back in will it just be a stock switch again?

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

The cfw is stored on SD but the jailbreak is done by going into RCM and injecting payload. If you just want to go to stock then you just have to boot normally without going into RCM.

Im hoping to do this in a week or so after my Switch SD slot reader part comes in (broke a while back). I do have a few questions: My system firmware is on the latest version 18.0.1, is it still safe to homebrew on latest version? Should I remove my Nintendo account from the Switch, do a factory reset and create like a temp account? I’m kinda worried about accidentally banning my account by mistake since I have a lot of digital purchases that my kids play on their switches. Don’t want to lose those in a ban. As I mentioned, I have 2 kids that play Switches (a lite and a newer patched Switch), but one of them prefers to use the unpatched Switch that I’m working to homebrew. How childproof is the CFW? Could they accidentally brick the Switch if they push any wrong options or buttons? I’m guessing it would be difficult, I also have a homebrewed 3DS and they play it on it since going in the internals of the CFW require button combinations.

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

I think it's a good idea to factory reset it and then do the jailbreak and backup. If you setup the 90dns correctly the switch will not connect to Nintendo servers so it's pretty safe.

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

And yes 18.0.1 firmware is fine.

Hi, my Nintendo is done jailbreak and I wan to ask if I wan to make a new SD card with different games is it possible and Which part I need to start? Like when I play I can only need to change the SD card to play others games.

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

Copy everything on the SD card to another SD card and it's fine. Best if you don't have any games on it and install them with tinfoil.

amigo una pregunta ... mi switch tiene la magia, pero cuando quiero conectar luego de cargarlo porque se descargo completamente, no ha querido encender, con el programa.---- que debo hacer

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

You might need to charge it longer. I'm not sure of your situation.

[@corysmith3895]

Should I update my stock firmware after i finish setting this up? Also I got an error on the tinfoil driver where it says "Could not load keys.txt, all crypto operations will fail" with the new nuts 3.3 files. any idea why?

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

You need to update stock if you go online. It's up to you if you want to update or not. I'm using nut 3.3 and didn't have that error.

[@crazynjman]

if i have games and things saved to a sd card already in my switch how do i transfer them to the sd card i will use for this?

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

I wouldn't, it's not really important honestly. Not worth the risk of messing stock firmware data to emunand data. That's just me.

​@@GrownUpGamingGUG In minute 25:32 step, my switch doesn't turn on and reboot like yours

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

Are you sure your files are correct? Atmosphere, Hekate, payloads and sigpatches need to be updated and support the firmware you are on.

[@user-jd2mt4kl2j]

So I have a oled pre modded switch I just bought and I was trying to set up the emummc on the sd file and I did it and completed the installation but whenever I boot up the emummc nothing pops up and it stays as a black screen, can you help me? Thanks!

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

It could be many reasons really. For starters, make sure atmosphere, hekate, payloads and sigpatches are correct and updated. It might be the launch settings in hekate. I'm not really sure without knowing your setup.

Thanks for doing this i had some issues tho cuz i was doing it with an rcm loader but i fixed it but i still have a question. if you go in launch you have 4 options right like stock and fusee but what are the other 2 for?

I think some people may have use for different launch options. For me, I just use stock sysnand for online play, and cfw fusee emunand for other stuff.

hi im really sorry if this is a dumb question but we can only play official games ? like cartridge, not games installed by tinfoil right ?

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

you can install your backups with tinfoil.

[@drmountainman2749]

ok so now when I switch back to stock firmware, internet appears to still be blocked. Is that sound right? How do I get back onto Nintendo servers to download more of my digital games?

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

If you used 90dns setter on emunand it doesn't change the internet settings on sysnand. I think you should check your internet settings on sysnand, make sure DNS is auto instead of manual. Also, make sure you are really on sysnand before attempting to go on Nintendo servers.

[@khaoskroc]

I formatted to fat32 AND accidentally deleted important files. FML

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

i've been there. i accidentally formatted my d:\ on my computer instead of e:\ the sd card once.

that's why i mentioned in the video to double check the drive you are formatting.

[@spltnnocto124]

If the screen comes on is it still gonna work? (Asking bc I don't have an rcm jig so I'm using a paper clip)

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

If you are in RCM, when you power on, nothing should show on your screen.

[@spltnnocto124]

Ok i have to reposition it then

[@your_favTeacher]

Are there any other formaters i can use, sadly it wont allow me to use that one?

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

I only know this one for free. Sometimes you need to format it with windows first, then use the program to format immediately afterwards.

hi got switch playing "borrowed games" lol. Question can i keep it in sleep mode or do i have to always put it into rcm mode before i can use it. Thanks

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

You can keep it in sleep mode. But if it restarts, if you have AutoRCM on, then you need to inject payload, or if you don't have AutoRCM on, then you need to use the jig and hold vol+ and power on to put the switch in RCM and then inject payload.

[@AlkaiserNeo]

Hello! Question! Is there a way to make the Switch boot up by simply holding the power button like normal? I noticed that I have to plug it into my computer every time I want to turn it on.

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

no that i know of. you can set it to auto RCM which means the switch boots into recovery mode every time you press the power button but you still need to inject payload when the switch is in this mode. you don't have to plug it into a computer to inject payload, you can use a phone or buy a rcm jig.

[@AlkaiserNeo]

Ok. Thanks. I'll just use sleep mode then. This is still pretty cool though.@@GrownUpGamingGUG

[@TWOBITONEGUY]

Mine has been like that for a long time and the good thing is you don’t need a jig I just connected my rc loader and it’s boots the bad side is when the battery has Completely drained it’s takes hours to get a little Percentage of battery once I boot Atmosphere everything goes back to normal

When you open the FTP app on your switch, it's written on the switch screen.

after applying 90dns setter when testing nothing is blocked, i followed everything

[@GrownUpGamingGUG]

It works for me but I have some other people in the comments saying the same thing. It maybe location dependent. You can try manually setting the DNS in your internet settings.

When you config your WiFi settings, select manual instead of auto for DNS settings. Go online and search what IP address you should use depending on your location to block Nintendo servers.

Any idea why my 90dns isnt working? everything else went fine. Ive triedd multiple times and the tester always says the servers are unblocked after using the blocker

Not sure, but you can set manual DNS in internet settings, you got to look up the IP address to use online though.
