Switch Pirates - A community of pirates, FOR pirates.

Update October 17th, 2023 - This method is now outdated as of Atmosphere release v1.6.1.

Atmosphere now automatically corrects the indexer save file causing issues on emmc-rebuilt and syswiped consoles. Thus, if you have trouble with booting into OFW, simply update AMS to 1.6.1 and Hekate to 6.0.7, and boot into SysCFW once. Atmos will correct your OS if issues were found, and OFW will work again. See the update guide, PC method here: https://rentry.org/UpdateCFW#pc-method

Also, see Scires' in-depth explanation of the issue here: https://gist.github.com/SciresM/2ddb708c812ed585c4d99f54e25205ff

OLD Unbrick Guide:

If you cannot boot to OFW after updating to 17.0.0, or face an error with the title id: 0100000000000005 in SysCFW, and you have performed a system wipe or an emmc rebuild in the past, follow the instructions below.

IF, AND ONLY IF your issue is EXACTLY the one described above, you may:

• Inject TegraExplorer, go to "Browse EMMC" > "SYSTEM" > "SAVE" > "8000000000000120"
• Select "Copy to clipboard"
• Go back to the main menu
• Select "Browse SD" > "Clipboard -> Current folder"
• Go back to "Browse EMMC" > "SYSTEM" > "SAVE" > "8000000000000120"
• Select "Delete file"
• Boot sysCFW with Atmosphere 1.6.0 and Hekate 6.0.7 (Important, you need to boot SysCFW at least once after deleting the 00120 save to make OFW work again, since this triggers the system to regenerate and index the missing file.)

A birdy told me that Teknik is creating 'The Source Shop' and/or a shop named, 'Revolution Shop' is in the works. What's actually happening?

Greetings fellow Switchers!

I have obtained a bigger SD card for my switch but I didn't not have enough space on my laptop to copy all the files from the old card. Is it possible if I connect both cards to the laptop and copy/paste everything to the new card?

Is it possible to copy only those files that are necessary to start the switch with the new card?

Thank you in advance!

Edit: I have file based emummc and not partitioned.

Even their discord server has disappeared.

I want to upgrade my SD card from 256gb to 512gb.

Will a simple copy and paste do the trick?

If you know a reliable guide please share it .

Thank you in advance.

I'm looking for something to download er... stuff... directly on the switch, but not tinfoil or not blawar related. Does something like that exists?

Since I won't be active given events coming up soon, post below if anyone wants to take up moderation. Ideally I'd prefer if you mention any experience you have and why you'd want to do that,

The original /r/piracy was purposefully gimped because Reddit received DMCAs for any random thing and didn't even bother to follow up. Since we're in new waters, I want things to be a bit more relaxed, but there's a limit on how relaxed we can be, without starting to get lawsuits, which I will not be able to fight off. I also host other communities and interests which might cause me headaches.

Remember, this is a hobby project (and none of you scurvy dogs are donating) :D

So here are some piracy-related ground rules for he whole of lemmy.dbzer0.com as of today

1. No direct links. This means anything which would make Nintendo or Disney light my ass on fire. I am not going to ban you for it (unless you start doing this on purpose), but I will ask admins and mods to remove them.
2. You can link to websites pages related to piracy. Linking to websites linking to your content (not with a 301 redirect, before you ask) is OK. In general try to keep one degree of separation between our collective groins and your links.
3. Magnet Links and links to Torrent files are OK, unless we start getting into trouble for it.
4. /c/piracy has its own, more restrictive rules. Follow them first when they differ from what I post here! /c/piracy is for generic discussion, I don't want it to turn into a link repository full of beggars, got it?
5. These rules apply to all pirate communities in lemmy.dbzer0.com. Unless that community has more restrictive rules from its own mods. I can easily get a lawsuit because you start making a nintendo ROM link repository.
6. You can still post direct links elsewhere: If you want a place to post direct links, I suggest you use a community on a server setup to handle this. This requires some significant investment in anonymity and hosting provider (these providers are 3x as expensive, yo!). You can still subscribe and share from those communities with your account in lemmy.dbzer0.com, which can serve as your "port of safety" as those lemmies could be taken down due to those links. If that happens, this safer community will still be up.

All in all, this lemmy is supposed to be Pirate-allied, but not a direct link repository. I literally cannot handle that legal risk at the moment. I hope you all understand the realities of our situation. As much as we can argue that a link to a file is not infringing, the Cartel's legal fund is bottomless, and all I have is a tinsy-tiny treasure chest under my birdbath.

If any pirate communites need to migrate after this, I understand. I would still suggest you keep them around as the "safe" community, and post your link aggregation on a lemmy instance which can handle the eye of sauron. This way you get both a stable community and account, and your links via fediverse. Win-win.
