tinfoil aint installing smash for me for some reason

>>15800121

everyone does

Is there any advantage to Atmosphere over ReiNX?

Alright, I'm a certified retard, so someone post a guide that's easy to follow. please spoon feed me.

>>15800816

>spoonfeed

Lolno, lurk more. It's easy and anyone can do it.

If you're that retarded, then don't play the game.

>>15800677

i already have those, but i'll try again with a fresh download if it fails again

>>15800965

well i know my issue now, i downloaded the patches from kosmos and the fag wanted to let me know he got them from me so badly that he injected a folder resulting in the patches being in the wrong spot, something i and other users wouldn't know

>>15801043

i got them from him*

You know it's becoming more of a pain to find anything. I can't find the most recent Kirby Star Allies or Xenoblade 2 update in .nsp format. Maybe I need to check better sites I dunno.

>>15803743

DarkUmbra had update v262144 .nsp, for Kirby but that's probably not the latest update. https://mega.nz/#F!fKhQFAbK!E44Vqpu20gcf76DxqMZwAA

Fred perry has been doing a lot of porn lately.

Is Atmosphere out for version 5.1.0 yet or does it at least support that firmware?

>>15803972

Wait I can play online using this "lan play"?

What version are you on?

I'm on 5.1.0, would I be able to play with you with that?

>>15807101

Supposedly all that matters is the game version, which might not even need to match. Only problem is there's no reliable guide yet, and following some random comments on discord got me a crash and forced game reinstall. Fucking hate trying to find info on discord, but you can scour the switch-lan-play server if you wanna try a whack at it. Found something else that might work, but maybe not.

I am also on 5.1.0 and would be willing to try figuring it out and playing with you. Lag is bad if you don't got a good connection though.

>>15807297

Well shoot, someone made a new file that just works beautifully for ReiNX. Might make a thread for this, but I doubt nu/v/ cares about actual video games.

>>15807297

Here http://www.lan-play.com/games is as far as I made it and idk what to do at this point.

>>15807341

What the fuck is that and how do i use it?

I have an earlier version of ReiNX on my switch, will it work for that?

>>15807526

I'm using ReiNX 1.7.1, the latest stable. Just use that since it works. That kip file just goes in ReiNX/sysmodules on your sd and should load itself. That lan play website has a download and Install tab. Just follow those instructions and everything should just work. I'm on the second server with the most people.

Thought if you get switch pirating you were gonna 100% get banned? or is there a way around it?

>>15807579

I don't understand.

>>15807629

>>15807634

I guess that's the LAN thing previously discussed?

>>15807569

TORRENT LINK IS FOR SMASH

BTW;

Anyone got special info regarding when the Smash Ultimate games will be shipped and most likely arrive at retail stores?

I ask because my usual modus operandi is going to a store like target really late at night and finding an older woman or gentleman working there that I'm looking for a game (that technically isn't released for another day or two) and so I have them look in back and, more often than not, they don't realize it isn't released either, and so I buy it right then and there, ahead of schedule. Anyone else try this out?

>>15807722

From those I know who work retail; Target and Walmart has had their copies for the past couple of days.

>>15807733

Huh, that's earlier than expected. I might have to go bargain hunting early this time around. Would you happen to know if it's suburban/urban or both?

>>15807741

Both, but I'm west coast, the one guy I know at Walmart lives out in the boonies though, you might try that;

A place that is far from the city, yet close enough to still have a walmart of it's own.

I was looking through this guide instead: https://guide.sdsetup.com

The guide.sdsetup doesn't mention that early Switch firmware does not support exFat. However, the ReiNX guide seems to suggest to update your Switch the normal way, online:

>Please note, if you do decide to use exFAT, your Switch must download an update to utilize this, which means it must be on the latest firmware. As far as installing the update, all you have to do is insert an exFAT Micro SD Card into your Switch while it's on and it will prompt you to download an update. Easy stuff.

Which is fucking stupid. ChodujourNX updates your Switch without burning fuses thus enabling you to downgrade later. Not to mention that Niintendo could push another update at any time that kills Homebrew. The guide.sdsetup tells you to use ChodujourNX and explains the advantages/disadvantages to upgrading or downgrading firmware.

Another difference I noticed is the ReiNX guide has you download hbmenu.nro and a title used to replace the Nintendo Switch album with the homebrew menu while the guide.sdsetup sends you to https://www.sdsetup.com and has you select the "Kosmos Defaults" which, under General - Loaders, includes Homebrew Menu and Homebrew App Store so I assume either this does the same thing or Atmosphere does not need to replace the album with the Home Brew Menu. guide.sdsetup has you also include biskeydump payload which I assume is for dumping the NAND. guide.sdsetup also has you using Hekate instead of fusee-primary.

What are the benefits to using Atmosphere over ReiNX anyways?

>>15808850

Actually, biskeydump dumps BIS keys for eMMC contents decryption. Whatever that means. Hekate can dump the NAND.

>>15808850

Yeah, it's the main reason I included both the ReiNX guide for getting homebrew setup, and then including ChodujourNX;

ReiNX's guide really should include ChodujourNX by default in the guide, but it doesn't, But I'm currently running 5.1.0 (after installing ReiNX on a 4.1.0 switch) thanks to ChodujourNX, and made NAND backups of both firmwares;

I don't know any obvious benefits to Atmos over ReiNX aside from being about to use XCIs

That's my only complaint about the Switch homebrew community, is that there's really not good 100% way of doing things, you gotta mix and match.

>>15811084

Yeah, it's a little hard to keep up, even more so since I'm not physically ready to hack mine yet.

>>15807569

>Please note, if you do decide to use exFAT, your Switch must download an update to utilize this, which means it must be on the latest firmware. As far as installing the update, all you have to do is insert an exFAT Micro SD Card into your Switch while it's on and it will prompt you to download an update. Easy stuff.

So does it mean I have to update from 4.1.0 to 6+ ???

It won't be possible to get updates for smash though. There's only 5 games worth pirating, the switch sucks, I regret getting mine.

>foto

you need to go back, pablo.

>>15807676

The torrent's dead it looks like.

>>15813186

No, you can use chourNX (which was linked) to do an update to 5.1.0, the official firmware was included in the post in the megaNZ link. You can select a 5.1.0 exfat install

>>15811084

>I don't know any obvious benefits to Atmos over ReiNX aside from being about to use XCIs

I heard you can only block firmware version checks for NSPs so you can run games on any firmware, so why would anyone want to use XCIs?

I'm getting Switch soon for softmodding and piracy. The only step I'm confused about is Auto-RCM. If I enable Auto-RCM in Hekate then I boot into Atmosphere to use ChodujourNX to update my Switch firmware ChodujourNX will ask to enable Auto-RCM after the update. I dunno if ChodujourNX checks to see if Auto-RCM is already enabled or if updating the firmware disables Auto-RCM, but if you don't have Auto-RCM enabled and start up the Switch on that newer firmware it'll burn your fuses and you won't be able to downgrade thus defeating the benefit of updating through ChodujourNX to begin with. I figure enabling that option in ChodujourNX would be the safest bet, but if it's already enabled I wonder if it'll fuck something up. The only other thing I'm concerned about is destroying those pins with a paperclip jig which is why I want Auto–RCM enabled as soon as possible when I start doing all the softmodding shit so I don't have to keep cramming a paperclip into it. An annoyance I have heard about is if you have Auto-RCM enabled your Switch doesn't shut down properly and you have to shut it down in Hekate or some shit. Also with Auto-RCM you have to push a payload every time you start your Switch. If I use Rekado then I can do it anywhere with an Android phone so I can live with that I guess.

Is it this one? This one seems to be working. magnet:?xt=urn:btih:83EDA1B1D24213A6AB3CEC39C62062EA7FD948D2

>>15817143

That did it, thanks

>>15816063

Isnt there a likely chance that it bricks with exfat vs exfat32 or whatever?
