Hi guys,

I've updated my switch to latest firmware 16.0 and downloaded and pasted latest atmosphere build 1.5 with latest sigpatches and after it, my Switch boots only to sysnand. If I try to boot cfw it just stucks on Switch logo. Any help with that?

you had avoid that problem reading the guides, there is 1 tutorial here and a thread about upgrading sx to Atmos. you need to remove all contents folder before the update, then you manually need to reinstall any sysmodule, theme, cheat etc.

Sweet, glad it worked out. Deleting the contents folder was probably the way to go since there were multiple ID causing issues.

Try this

Go to the atmosphere folder on the SD card, then enter the config folder and inside it there should be a file named BCT.ini, open it and make it look like this example:

;To force-disable nogc, add nogc = 0
nogc = 0

    I thought PS4/5 and Xbox One emulation would be kind of easy since they basically just a PC
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    they sorta are a pc
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They haslve dedicated on board chips that aren't tweaked like x64/x32 afaik

    but its a custom os for both of them
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    designed for only specific hardware
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    so you have to learn to emulate that specific hardware which isn't as easy as you'd think

    It's a locked down Linux distro basically
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think the only custom hardware is to do with the SSD and a security chip
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Probably combined in one chip
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They place married security chips onto boards iirc

    The ps3 was always Linux they just found a way to make it open source
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    I'm avoiding buying from the big 3 at all atm
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At one point PC game pads where poorly supported, loading a game had setup, it was complicated. Now it's almost as easy as a console.

    nintendo needs to up their game soon
