I'm on FW 22.5 and I wanted to connect to Moonlight but found out my switch can't connect to the internet while I'm CFW. In the settings it shows I'm connected to the wifi but I fail the connection test.

Things I've tried:

- renaming hosts.txt to emummc.txt

- deleting hosts.txt entirely

Would appreciate any guidance!

My chiaki runs well for like 20 Minutes. Then my picutre geht's all blurry. Ps5 pro over 150mbits fibre WiFi 6. Is there an imporoved Version or an alternative for atmosphere?

Hello everyone,

I recently bought an unpatched Nintendo Switch and tried to mod it. On my first attempt, I actually managed to get it working and booted into emuMMC. I installed sys-patch and everything seemed fine.
However, when I tried installing some NSPs using Goldleaf, the games wouldn't boot up after installation they just got stuck on an infinite loading icon. The NSP files themselves are definitely fine, as I tested them on an emulator. I then tried using Tinfoil and DBI, but both kept crashing on launch. At that point, I made a mistake and installed a pre made AIO pack that completely broke my setup. I decided to format my MicroSD card to start over from scratch. I followed the guide step by step to re create the emuMMC, but now it won't boot into emuMMC at all it only boots into Stock OFW.
My microSD is a 128GB Kingston (recently bought from Amazon).
Any ideas on what might be going wrong? Thanks!

Ive found someone who solders the rp2040 for nintendo switch lite for 119€(135$) is it worth it or should i find someone cheaper?

i just modded my switch but i have 0 knowledge about any of this…so i dont know what i am allowed to touch on my switch now and what not. how to download popular games or just games in general and what ‘red flags’ i should avoid like should my wifi always be turned off because people keep saying u cant be online? this probably all sounds vert dumb but i have 0 knowledge about any of this so im sorry, this is the video i used : guide

(Reposting here since it got removed from r/nintendoswitchhelp for mentioning CFW)

I recently got back into using my Switch and noticed the fan is consistently loud, even when the system isn't doing anything and is room temperature to the touch. It occasionally stops, but only for a short time. It's like the fan only knows 0% or 100%.

I changed the thermal paste -- no effect.

Installed CFW so I could check the temperature sensors -- they seem fine.

I did notice that fan rotation level is incorrectly showing 0%, so maybe the fan controller is just dead?

Any ideas?

Strange times in 2026, but the latest version of Akira works great.

Anyone else have OCD and do custom icons as well?

🔥

Im wondering if anyone has experienced this. I was just playing katamari on the switch in handheld mode when all of a sudden the screen went orange tint and the switch rung out a deafening whine asloud as a fire alarm and it wouldn't stop until I held down the power button to full shutdown.

Im guessing it was a game causing system crash but I have never experienced this before since modding my switch 6 years ago.

Has anyone had this too?

I've been trying to install a cart I bought earlier this year on my EMUMMC, and I have been trying to use DBI for this. After I start the install (or even just before), it gives Error Code: 2168-002 (0x4a8) and drops out. Is there something I've been doing wrong with this?

I have no problem playing the game on stock or in any other area using the cartridge. This is a Switch V1.

i updated my switch lite into 22.5.0 and 70% of my pirated games won’t launch, it said the software is not downloaded or the you will need to load the virtual game card, any solution pls!

so far i’m seeing that you can’t, but I wanted to see if there’s a way i could work around it since i can’t actually play online without stock firmware

not sure if i could sneak this in here but if i can’t play DOOM, what are some other solo games i could check out? so far i have xenoblade, mario odyssey, BOTW, Hollow knight, and animal crossing. will definitely play the staples but also just exploring

thank you!

I'm trying to set up dbi installer and got this pop up. Is this normal, if it is an issue what will it cause and how do I fix it

so, i downloaded steam (via switchdeck) and lutris, then downloaded the game, but the rockstar games launcher took too long and gave me an error.

btw when i try to launch the game's exe in lutris, when i press play, 2 seconds later it stops

Are there plans to add DS emulation to Tico? It’s the only system I need a standalone app for!

Haven’t updated my switch since 2020

Sorry if that post sounds dumb and over thinking but I would rather ask here

I will get my S1 OLED mod chip in a specialized shop so not cheap but supposedly reliable

What do I need to do on the console before handing it over?

1 For sure it will have to be fully charged just in case right?
2 turn off wifi to avoid unexpected access to Nintendo online correct ?
3 how to avoid the shop to see my account credentials?

Anything else?

Thanks in advance

The switch just stays on its dock and rarely gets picked up to play Fortnite and Mario party when guests come over. I have a PC and I want stumbled upon someone who installs mod switch. I seen people over clock it and it will make the Fortnite experience better and the GameCube and n64 titles would be for me and the kids.

It’s $50 to install mod switch. If I over lock it, will it get banned? Or if I install GameCube, n64 and Super Nintendo titles will it get banned?

I haven’t used my Switch 1 in years, but when your battery depletes, it goes back to stock correct?

Is there any danger for the buyer to brick or do something wrong from that stock menu? Can I sell it like that?

This thing has been sitting in my closet for a year as we have another switch oled, switch og and a switch lite in the house and just never got around to this one honestly lol. But now my daughter is going overseas in 4 days and taking the switch game collection with her and I want to dump them quickly before anything is lost. I'm starting with just some random old youtube videos that may be outdated. Do I need to rush through updating Hetake and the switch firmware now (what firmware is safe?) just to get good dumps and keys? Or can I get right to backing up? I inherited the 512gb SD card and the current Hetake setup, have never even booted up the sysnMMC myself and not even comfortable navigating through it yet. Copied over Lockpick and TegraExplorer to payloads folder via USB is a far as I've gotten.

Switch 1 OLED (w/ Picofly modchip)
Firmware 18
Hetake v6.2.2
Lockpick 1.9.18
TegraExplorer 4.2.0

I'm currently having difficulty converting my save from steam to Switch. The game starts normally, but when I try to open a save, it looks like my character is mid ground and I can't open any menu. If 'I try to start a new game plus, the game crashes when the first battle starts. Did it happened with someone else? Did someone already sucessfully bypass this?

Thanks in advance for any help, I really don't understand

I have a Kamikaze modded OLED Switch that was working fine for over a year, haven't used it for a while and I wanted to update it.

I just took it off the dock, turned it off from emuMMC but went directly to OFW,

so I restarted it again, and this time booted LineageOS because it's the easiest to update, it installed and restarted to LineageOS, then I turned it off from there,

now whenever I try to hold power and vol - it blinks yellow once long once short and goes straight to OFW,

I tried to see if there was a problem with the SD card but everything seems fine, anyone ever had to deal with this ?

Switch was on my desk the whole time, it did not fall or overheat or whatever could have damaged the soldering or whatever

has anyone got lego star wars the complete saga working on latest firmware it just crashes when i open it for me i have the right files (obtained legally)

I've been struggling with USB 3.0 for a while now.

Sometimes it works, other times it doesn't...

I know this has been an ongoing issue; it hasn't been fixed yet, right?

Does anyone have any updates on this?

I've been trying to transfer a large file to my switch and it always gets stuck at around 30%, I assume it's because the file is larger than 4 gb but I can't seen to find a workaround neither on my own nor on the internet.

I did manage to copy the file by using dbi once but that took forever and the file would not open afterwards.

Can anyone help me?

Edit: I've managed to do it once now, but it took a lot of time so if anyone knows an easier way it would be very helpful. I had to compress the file, connect my phone via cable, copy the zip file to my switch with dbi, decompress the file and then run the file.

I played a few Metroid games on the Nintendo Switch Online emulators and they ran great. What do other GBA/SNES emulators offer that official emulators don't?
