PSA’s:

WE’RE LEGAL NOW - WOOOOOOOOOO

If trying to lan 2 switches together, the games require both systems to be on


the same firmware AND for the games to have the same updates

If ReiNX crashing on second user, make sure latest bin is used

Ver 3+ dis/enable nogc? From Version 3.0.1 NoGC is enabled by default


To remove, delete nogc file. For 3.0.0 create nogc file and place next to
splash.bin

F.A.Q’s
What's a nogc? / Why can't I play my gamecart games?

Nogc basically means that your gamecart slot will be disabled.


There's an update for gamecart controller that happens when you update to versions
on/over 4.x, and this update prevents it from working under 4.x.
If you updated from a version under 4.x to a version above 4.x and you want your gc slot
to work if you ever downgrade again, then you need nogc. Keep in mind that this means
that you won't be able to play the games you have on gamecarts.
If you didn't do this or you don't care about it working, then you don't need nogc.

If you don't need nogc, go to ReiNX folder on your sdcard and delete nogc file. That's it.

Why do I get a black screen after Nintendo switch logo / why do I have random
issues?

Are you using an exfat microsd? If so, did you ever install the update for it on switch
(manually or through system)? If not, either use fat32, (only if you're on latest horizon
version >) boot to ofw and make it install update there (< only if you're on latest horizon
version) or ask for help with installing exfat patch to lower firmwares. Then try again.

Is there a gamecart in your switch, and is nogc enabled? If so take out the gamecart,
and try again.

If none of those help, try removing the fs_mitm.kip file under ReiNX/sysmodules/ on your
microsd card and try again.

Update Switch without burning fuses or bricking Win 10

(If you are on Windows 10 version >= Anniversary, but older than Summer
Creators Update 2018, use Total Commander F5 option to copy the files)

What did you do with Total Commander?


Mounted system and user through hacdiskmount. Navigate to the disk on one side, the
appropriate folder on the other side, select the files to copy, hit F5, done

You only need to do the user and system partitions


So. Upgrade but use Total Commander when sending the System and Users directory

Open HacDiskMount.exe AS ADMINISTRATOR (required to Install the driver, and to access


physical disk devices on Windows 10)
