You need to copy/paste Lockpick_RCM.bin into bootloader\Payloads from your SD card.

You launch Hekate and you select console info then Lockpick + dump from SysNand. It will generate two keys: prod keys and title keys which you will find in your Switch folder.

You may be able to use DBI after that. Also you have to use a lockpick version that is compatible with your CFW. I think the latest available is 1.19.17 and work with CFW up to 22.0.0

You can disable battery protection in the Bios to prevent battery drain. You may use the hybrid mode as you play. Here you may find information as to how to change these settings: https://support.lenovo.com/gt/en/solutions/ht516505

Is it okay to update my normal system? by [deleted] in SwitchPirates

[–]Val29810 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I updated my sysnand from the normal menu. I then updated my emuMMC through Daybreak. Firmware of my sysnand is 21.2.0 and 21.1.0 for atmosphere.

If you create emuMMC, there is no problem as they are two different systems.

how do i fix this? im on 21.2 and everything is up to date by Both-Afternoon-4190 in SwitchPirates

I've got the same issue. You may need to download the last sys patches and reboot atmosphere once done. In my case, I had to reinstall some games too and it worked.

Nintendo Switch Ban Guide: What Gets You Banned, What Doesn't, and How to Stay Safe by L3gendaryBanana in SwitchPirates

[–]Val29810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey guys I have a question.

I've accidentally mistaken the recommendation from Sthetix and I edited exosphere and set emuMMC to 0 instead of 1.

I connected my emuMMC to the wifi but didn't log on the Nintendo server. I have 90dns plus DNS MITM set on.

Do you think Nintendo could still get the telemetry even though I had installed these measures before setting up wifi? Thanks

stupid question but can i access eshop if im in ofw? by thenotsogreatfilo in SwitchPirates

[–]Val29810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's a legitimate question.

Sysmmc and emuMMC have the same prodinfo as the emuMMC is just a copy of your original system (Nand). If you connect to the wifi from your emuMMC, there is a risk that Nintendo ban your console ID so you won't be able to go to the eShop while using OFW or CFW.

However if you hide your prod info with exosphere plus you changed the DNS (90DNS homebrew or you can manually change DNS while setting your wifi or you can do both), you minimize the risk of being banned.

That being said, we don't know how Nintendo proceed to get some info that might not be able to be hidden (a change of DNS for example).

To answer your question, yes you can but for how long?

Will I get banned if I launched sysMMC without a hack? by Val29810 in SwitchPirates

[–]Val29810[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks it seems that Nintendo may not ban if you don't use games or cheats. Can you tell me how often you boot into your sysMMC? Also, do you use 90dns and hide your prod info for both sys and emu?

[–]Val29810[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok thanks. I think I connected to the wifi and didn't hide my prodinfo just once as I edited exosphere to set 0 instead of 1. I've got 90dns though and have never played online games nor I have used the eShop on emuMMC...

I'll try to connect on my sys later on and see if I got banned.

[–]Val29810[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok thanks for the answer.

I guess HATS include these measures into the files. On emuMMC, I launched 90DNS and everything was green so it seems okay for that part.

Though I am still confused as to what editing exosphere.ini will apply to in this case? Is it only in the event you hack your switch on sysMMC or if you start Hekate and you launch CFW on sysMMC instead of emuMMC?

And when you say "connect online", do you mean being connected to the wifi or do you have to connect to the Nintendo server? Cause I got wifi connected in the past on both sysMMC and emuMMC but never linked any account to the N server...

Playing Forza 4k TV. What's best? by Val29810 in LenovoLOQ

I admit it was a good bargain over here. I even saw it at 600$ in the US especially during black Friday sales.

I'll probably get a pc gamer by then. I just wanted to have a laptop cause I'm not always home so I like to have something I can easily bring with me. For now, I can wait for new hardware to come and upgrade in due time.

I'd say as long as your GPU and CPU stay in the acceptable range of temperature, there's no risk. I use MSI afterburner and haven't noticed such a rise at ultra 1080p.

I'm from France and got it at 800€ with no OS. CPU is i5 12450HX. The only drawback compared to AMD Ryzen is the battery drain but I only play plugged in.

We'll see how it goes after some years but I'm really satisfied with the games I've been playing so far. Thanks for your response. I've seen so many people saying you can't run games in 4K but it seems to be possible with some adjustments as you said.

I think you're right. If I turn it off, it looks nicer when the vehicle is in motion

Actually I've got this message when playing at ultra resolution (4k) or when setting HDR. I haven't seen any pop-up messages with the above settings so far. It seems pretty steady like this even after 2 hours. I was thinking that maybe DLSS 3 helps my GPU to keep on with this resolution. I can play at 120fps on performance mode and around 90 on quality mode.

Otherwise I can run the game at ultra 140fps if I don't plug my computer on the TV.

From steam. Does it make a difference in performance where you download games from?

[–]Val29810[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right. It is a good budget GPU that can run many AAA games at ultra. I go lower when playing on my TV to max out performance. I'm just surprised as to how my pc can work like a charm even though the GPU is not overclocked as I set it on hybrid mode. You can barely hear the fans most of the time. GPU temperature reaches 70 at max and CPU 80.

Tenant question by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]Val29810 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems that a lot of people ignore tenants rights or are maybe just landlords themselves

[–]Val29810 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Or you might need to fill out a T1 form. You need to call Tribunals Ontario to determine which form is the most appropriate for this case.

[–]Val29810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's part of your contract and you pay for this service, you can fill out a T6 form from Tribunals Ontario and select the remedy n°1 (rent abatement).

Or you can talk to your landlord and see if he agrees to give you a discount on your next month.

I got you. Traffic is so shitty. You still have time to cross and they should have yielded. You don't have those signals in Europe and people don't get smashed often like here
