I tend to check these types of videos sporadically as I've known how to homebrew since the Wii at the least and almost all of these apps are in my must-have apps list. Thanks for the vid for reference!
As someone new to this stuff, this has all been very overwhelming and confusing. Your video REALLY helped breakdown *why* these apps I keep seeing are so useful. Thank you! 👌
@@Randyisanerdthe problem is information isn’t centralized for obvious reasons so you kinda have to vulture a bunch of info & then put it together yourself lol
Thanks for this video. I just got my first switch and it's so hard to find overview of all the different software needed to make good use of a modded console. This video gives a great starting point whereI can read documentation for the apps you mention.
If you follow my hekate walkthrough you’ll have emmummc and sysmmc “systems”. Emmu for all your backups, and sys for…well Fortnite essentially 😂 (any online play of originals)
So this being said ur games installed on internal if ur on emunand will not install to the "actual" switch console! It will install to an emulated internal storage really.
You want both, but you would only do the HB apps and game backups on the EmuNAND side of things, which is essentially just the SD Card.. The SysMMC is the actual 32Gb/64Gb Internal Storage chip (NAND chip). If you install any of this stuff on here, you will get banned from Eshop, Online Play, etc..
It doesn’t matter if you put them on the SD card or the internal storage. Either one is fine and neither one will raise your chances of a ban anymore than you already have.
When using homebrew when playing PSP game do you have to turn off the Nintendo switch one time then you can play online if you want to use homebrew again turn off the Nintendo switch then turn back on
Yes. To switch back and forth between “online” and offline modes you need to boot back into hekate and select the proper “system”. You also need to configure the default.txt file as the HATS pack blocks everything so you don’t get banned.
When you do these gamecard dumps are they immediately working with switch emulators? I'm trying to run Age of Calamity at higher then 120p and hopefully 60fps
I believe once you have your prod and title keys imported it’s just drag and drop. It’s been a while since I set up my PC emulators, but I remember it being pretty straightforward!
I haven’t looked into this specifically. You’d have to have the save data moved onto an unmodified switch, then mod it. Because if you do it right, you will no longer be able to access the Nintendo servers…if that makes sense.
@@grillion_Temu's 512gb and 1tb sd are fake... They use a program to show that but in reality they are 8gb SD at max. On Amazon there are many cheap ones, I bought my 256gb for 25€.
What firmware are you on now? I'm on 19.0.1 and would like to try tesla and amigo. I tried a while back to get some amiibos for Metroid but didn't work. Not sure why. So maybe you having it working well
My switch is possibly patched. I checked the serial on a website if I try to mod it is there a bigger risk of getting it bricked or anything I should know of.
Really minimal risk of software bricking at this point. Just follow my guides and use the latest HATS package and you’ll be fine. Hardest/most anxiety inducing is the soldering until you get used to it. Best of luck!
Hey could you try wwe day of reckoning? I’ve been looking everywhere for someone to test out the performance for that game on a hacked switch lol it’s a GameCube exclusive! I’m not sure how the dolphin emulator performance is
I could try it on the Dolphon PC Emulator.. I have a pretty good pc too so if the Emulator runs its well which Dolphin is pretty good it should be good.
new to using cfw on switch. loving it its great. im having an issue where my apps in the hbmenu are creating extra folders that will then show up amongst the apps in hbmenu. and its a mess. if i delete them they reappear when i use the app again. is there a way to hide these or fix this. thanks so much
It just means you have the .nro files twice, once in the main folder, and again in the sub folder. It seems to be by app as I have some that behave similarly.
Do you keep the game file because I don't want to make a copy of the game, is the software safe because I'm getting an adware virus detective for that nx software You can do the same for dlc download?
I’m new to this, why don’t people use the usb file transfer app that come already in the aio pack? Edit: I see you have it included on your list as well but most guides online don’t really include it.
If you search around you can find sites that host the update files. I can’t post here. And again, only download games you legally own. But the update files are clearly marked as updates and always end in a random number. They install the same as a game would. Also worth noting, I haven’t encountered any updates that require you to do steps revisions, so the latest one is all you need. If that makes sense.
@@Randyisanerd thx you and also can I still jailbreak if my not patched or not I wanna mods it because I wanna to play just dance mods on there so and I saw peoples have that on switch I have my switch like one year so and it a new switch it a bigger version
I don’t mess with themes. It really screws with updates, and N has been pushing updates so frequently lately it’s crazy. Maybe when the switch reaches end of lifecycle and I can just set it up once and be done. Just my $0.02 though. Some do look really cool. Just haven’t convinced myself it’s worth the effort!
She has an old first gen switch that I was able to use the rcm jig on. But I’m going to put a chip in that one too eventually because she constantly lets the battery die completely and then I have to use the jig again😂

Hey Omar did you homebrew yours yourself?
Thank you Randy 👍
So do you have a EMUNAND and SYSNAND? Or is this all on SYS?

In cfw im always in airplane mode. Not risking anything.
Same
You can’t Download DLC of the games
If you start with the HATS pack there really is next to zero risk, but I feel your pain. I used to do the same just to be safe!
@@skullface63what you mean by that?
U don't need to do that if u use 90dns blocker and common sense
Thinking about buying another switch since I would like to keep my launch model unmodded since it’s got a lot of stuff on there.
I’ve got 6-7 floating around the house…not a bad plan. They are cheap enough used now!
@@Randyisanerd yeah unpatched they are only like 150, probably gonna get one for my birthday.
When using homebrew when playing PSP game do you have to turn off the Nintendo switch one time then you can play online if you want to use homebrew again turn off the Nintendo switch then turn back on
Yes. Just be extra careful to NEVER install anything but legitimate titles on your sysnand.
How to get homebrew on Nintendo switch when play PSP games without getting banned playing online sometimes

I got a hacked Switch 2nd hand.
Wonder how secure it is to backup my transferable save data from my NSO account cloud with the one mentioned.
I haven’t looked into this specifically. You’d have to have the save data moved onto an unmodified switch, then mod it. Because if you do it right, you will no longer be able to access the Nintendo servers…if that makes sense.
More video like this please, show us every apps in homebrew

Video didn't even start n I know I'm about to learn some zzzhiiiiiii. Lmfao thanks bro

DBI installer with transmitter is just as easy if not easier. doesn't require a tool on your pc.
Totally agree...I really need to do an UPDATE video in this space.

Yes you can!
Great sharing thank you

Can i use (usb file transfer) to transfer (mission control) to homebro without having errors or the need to restart?
Cuz I don’t have an rcm jig
The usb transfer is good stuff, it’ll act just like a thumb drive, so you should be good to transfer whatever you need over.
reboot to payload (hekate) and enable autorcm.
how do you even go in rcm mode in the first place

Which micro SD card to get to install hekate and atmosphere on switch
1tb Silicon power can be had on Amazon for
Is Samsunge evo 512gb good to run atmosphere and hekate homebrew games
As above…yes. Yes it is.
There are so many versions so is emummc or just use the 90dns or exosphere?
Start with the current HATS from sthetix and you’ll be golden
@RandysRandomHobbies I tried the links they don't work sadly, do you know if any links are working?,
Sthetix dot info I believe…
Do you keep the game file because I don't want to make a copy of the game, is the software safe because I'm getting an adware virus detective for that nx software
You can do the same for dlc download?
Should I get a modded OLED or switch v2 to save some money
If you’re buying a modded one…the oled is pretty darn awesome. If you are modding it…start with a v2 and see how you do under pressure 😂
How did you connect to the pc. Usb male to male cable?
Check your usb cables. The market is flooded with “power only” usb a to usb c cables. Any high quality full data cable will work.
I’m new to this, why don’t people use the usb file transfer app that come already in the aio pack?
Edit: I see you have it included on your list as well but most guides online don’t really include it.
Should i use tinfoil with sysmmc or emummc for games
Emu unless your goal is to get immediately banned…

Yes, I’ve done a few, and have one left I can video. It’s quite a bit more involved, but possible.
Did you get ban on your Nintendo switch by mods it
Nope. Just use the HATS package and follow my guide, or reentry, or banana.
@@Randyisanerd thx you and also can I still jailbreak if my not patched or not I wanna mods it because I wanna to play just dance mods on there so and I saw peoples have that on switch I have my switch like one year so and it a new switch it a bigger version

he doesn’t understand what you can do with homebrew on switch
Have you gotten themes to work?
I don’t mess with themes. It really screws with updates, and N has been pushing updates so frequently lately it’s crazy. Maybe when the switch reaches end of lifecycle and I can just set it up once and be done. Just my $0.02 though. Some do look really cool. Just haven’t convinced myself it’s worth the effort!
Is the links up to date now ?
Kind of...you've got to go to sthetix twitter now, follow a telegram link...then you can download. I believe the big N ninjas are going after him HARD
DB is better for USB connection.
I really should update. DBI is fantastic, just took forever for me to realize it.
how would you get these apps?
just search tutorials, they have to be VERY cautious with what they say about homebrew if I'm not wrong
Try searching for a HATS pack sthetix, it’s a great starting point. He does all the hard work for the community.
Why you don’t have tinfoil folder?
I believe I had the old version at the time that installed like a game. They now have a self installed one packed with HATS.
I think should get a modded OLED cause the screen is better
enjoy soldering a modchip on
Is it possible to take a game save from a non chipped switch and place it on a modded switch?
Not that I’m aware of unfortunately
@@Randyisanerd Thank you. Does your wife have a modded switch as well? As you said you took her save from her system and put it on yours.

"Lets say that Nintendo pushes update 18.0 tomorrow".
So that is today I guess lol.

It goes without saying…but I’m saying it anyway. DONT UPDATE UNTIL HEKATE SUPPORTS 18…the dev is awesome, but it still may take a week or two.
Can you install games from android to ns
I will just get the original switch I will only get the ps vita if I can get use it as a PS5 controller to play PS5 games on tv
