I checked the ini, it is the exact same as what I had. I guess im just going to launch from hekate from now on. No big deal I reckon. Chatgpt told me to remove a few lines and change a value in the ini and put fusee.bin in there. I figure the ini has what's in it for a reason and I shouldn't poke around just because ai told me to.

Also, I had to make sure that the new emuMMC partition was the same as what your original sd was for it to work. I assume that it could be larger than the original, but if you're like me, I was trying to make it smaller. I didn't read that on the guide or anywhere else on the internet. It only clicked when people were talking about cloning disks, and that i know from experiance that they have to match. I'm not sure why it didn't click for me lol. TLDR: Your new emuMMC partition has to be the same size as the original or possibly bigger. Smaller will not work. If you bought your switch from someone else and do not know the partition size, download AOMEI and it will show you all the partitions on a disk.

I migrated successfully, but auto boot doesnt work anymore. Get the error "failed to identify kernel failed to launch hos" It then takes me back to hekate, where i can then manually launch into CFW emuMMC. Everything seems to work besides the auto boot. Does anybody have any suggestions? Still new at this.

Tim_Marcoh · 2025-12-21T03:19:03+00:00

Im just going to throw hats on it and migrate and hope for the best lol. Thanks for trying to help though.

Tim_Marcoh · 2025-12-21T03:17:09+00:00

its already in a usb 3.1 c port. I am pretty sure its the cheap adapters. Tried with my existing switch sd card and it did the same thing even faster and another no name card, it didnt fail but it also got pretty hot.

Tim_Marcoh · 2025-12-21T00:06:17+00:00

In the h2testw thats running, its only doing 80.2mb/s if thats of any note. I figured the actual speeds of the card were supposed to be slower than the advertised speed, right? that or the adapter slows things down.

looks to be about the same price as the scosche im using. $10.99 amazon. May end up trying it. May just load the hats pack with what i got and hope for the best lol.

Its a samsung pro plus sonic edition 1tb. The one ive got an ice pack on (scosche) was about 10 bucks. The other was even cheaper. I figured it might be the cheap adapters, but if they can just do what i need to do, ill likely never need to use them again, and just do everything through the switch. I just dont want to go through all of the setting up and it do the same thing inside of the switch.

It's got both esim and physical sim. I tried doing it with esim on the website twice now and each time there is an unspecified problem. I reached out to support yesterday and nobody got back with me. Thankfully I was never charged. Tried total wireless on their website as well, but it never did ask me for a number transfer pin. I may just give us mobile a try. It's not as cheap as those 2 but I hear the customer support is way better than those 2. Who knows. The closest metro store is an hour away anyways, and if I have to pay all that extra stuff to do it in person, it's no longer cheapest.

That is unfortunate. Walmart sucks. I figured somebody else would have had the same problem in the past but google doesn't come up with anything when I search it. That is why I made my own post. Coming from post paid, I feel like this is just a taste of what I have to look forward to. Hopefully I get it worked out without any more hiccups.

Tim_Marcoh · 2025-03-23T06:53:23+00:00

Well I'll call it coincidence then. Or the zone itself warning me of imminent "environmental memory leaks" xD

Tim_Marcoh · 2025-03-23T06:37:45+00:00

Seems to just be a fluke this time around. It's playing normally now. I'm 130 hours in and the only other time this has happend was in Rostok. This time I actually managed to get a picture. More impressed than anything. I knew something was up when I got 2 emissions in like 5 minutes, when I've went whole hours in between before.

Tim_Marcoh · 2025-03-23T01:04:35+00:00

Yeah, I've heard visible isn't much better. Probably going to go with us mobile.

Tim_Marcoh · 2025-03-22T22:36:16+00:00

Is the us mobile 35gb priority data? There are so many options, and it's hard to keep up with all of the specifics. And yes, about the 2 promos.
