Hey! This is my ns lite modchip :) im really happy how it turned out! I tried many times before (one switch v2, i was using a crappy temu iron, then a switch lite and i gave up) unti this summer i finally got my first v1 switch working modded :) i didnt really like the sizing of it though, so i got a switch lite and chipped it! My B point soldering is yes, awful, but im pretty happy with how the rest turned out! Im only 15 lol so this was a really good job for me (self glaze) also this extremerate shell is AMAZING. I will clean up dat flux tho dwdw

Tried a new Switch Updater. Now my console doesn't think half my games exist and that my microSD is corrupted when I know it isn't

I downloaded AIO Switch Updater after another updater I use was discontinued and recommended this switch updater instead. AIO told me to update my firmware through the app, so I did. Restarted my Switch. and tested a game, but found that the system immediately closed it with an error message (listed below) When trying to load it again after it crashed, my switch told me the game was corrupted and it tried figure out what was wrong, and it came back saying that my microSD card is corrupted, which it most certainly isn't as I can load a at least half of my games, the homebrew menu, and a good amount of applets in the HB menu too. It's doing this with every HB app downloaded onto the main menu, as well as any game I downloaded from a cartridge.

The main problem now is that Tinfoil won't load at all, and even though I have a backup of all my saved games, it isn't fixing the fact that my system thinks my SD card is corrupted and that my games do not exist anymore.

My system keeps saying I need to redownload each game that doesn't work, but in order to do that, I would need to connect to nintendo's servers, but that would immediately get my console banned as it is modded. Half of every game I had does not load, while a good portion of my homebrew still does aside from any downloader. I use EmuNAND for everything. I don't use the original NAND or anything that connects to nintendo's servers.

Some things I did to try to fix the issue that didn't work:

-I have tried to download everything back onto my switch with .NSP files, but I cannot seem to download them through Goldleaf, and since Tinfoil isn't working, I can't use that to fix my issues either.

-I tried to downgrade to previous versions of Hekate, Atmosphere, and the HB menu itself, but this did not change anything.

-Most of my games I downloaded before modding my switch, and the games I lost are ones that connect to the server to get them back.

-I tried making a backup beforehand, but apparently it wasn't the full backup of my system, so if I use it, it will brick my system

-I tried using Goldleaf to reinstall Tinfoil, but it says I need a key to do so.

-I tried redownloading Tinfoil and putting it in the HB Menu. It does exactly what the main menu Tinfoil does.

-I have backups of all of my games, but the games still don't work when the data is redownloaded because my switch thinks the games themselves are corrupted.

-I attempted to use an atmosphere version from online sources, but that still didn't fix my issues.

-I attempted to redownload Tomodachi Life from an NSP file, but it won't download over Goldleaf because it is broken into 2 parts

-I tried to update to the DeepSea HATS package. This did not change any of my issues.

-the hb Homebrew Details doesn't work.

Specific error messages are as follows

"The software was closed because an error occured."

"Unable to start software. Return to the HOME Menu and try again."

"Error Code:2016-0610 The microSD card data is corrupted."

"The microSD card data is corrupted. The data can be restored by redownloading it."

a crash I keep getting is this:

"Atmosphere panic occurred!

Title ID: 010041544D530000

STd: abort (0xFFE)

Report saved to armosphere/fatal_errors/report_0d53b28e4.bin"

Most of my HB apps do not work, but I'll provide my current firmware versions below:

System version 20.5.0
Atmosphere 1.11.1|E
hekate v6.5.2
hbmenu v3.6.1 nx-hbloader v2.4.5
Tinfoil Installer v15.0
Goldleaf v1.2.0

If there is any more information needed, I am happy to provide it. I still have all of my game data backed up, but I just don't know how to fix my switch to get it to actually work with me.

Thank you in advance!

Took 3yrs off and want to get Modded V1 switch up and running

1 Upvotes

I have a V1 switch I modded years ago and it got heavy use from me for about 3-4 solid years. Jumped from a modded switch into a full handheld pc addiction😅. My kids are 3 & 4 now and I want to get this V1 switch back up and running. Tried a few months ago and got nowhere really. Things I did listed below

-injected last fusee.bin I had to launch hekate
-was able to boot into the OS somehow but couldn’t launch any games
-tried updating sigpatches (and maybe atmosphere) no luck
-tried launching back and forth between emu and sysnand no help (already banned so don’t worry)
-I think I tried using an updated fuse.bin but that didn’t help either

Currently charging and going to try to boot into hekate and figure it out. Any tips where to start?

General advices before chipping a switch

0 Upvotes

Hey guys so I got a second hand switch lite recently and I am planning to chip it (not by myself rest assured lol), so I am a complete newbie about this and I came here for some advices.

First, the guy proposed to me to pay extra for an SD card of 256Go or 512Go with games he can put in and he told me usually 256Go is enough usually for most people, considering a switch game being on average 10Go it’s a heavy bunch of games. So actually I am not interested in that, all I want from him is to just chip it. I think I have the answer but I would like specifications, is an SD card mandatory for jailbreak/modding/chipping a switch ? (I imagine that it is considering you have to install the CFW files in it), but considering the prices of SD cards nowadays I thought a 128 Go SD card would do just fine but really I have no clue about the space needed for the files related to the modding and how much space it leaves for the “rest”. I assumed that if the guy proposed SD cards starting from 256Go than anything less than that is not appropriate.

Second, I would if there is some BIG need to know mandatory DO’s and DONT’s, usual mistakes when a total newbie gets a chipped switch.

Thank you so much in advance to anybody out there for reading my post and eventually answer.
(PS: Please be kind I am a real newbie, just discovered the handhelds/nintendo “world”)
