Hi all

I found an unpatched switch online recently and decided to buy it and hack it.

Everything went smooth, or so I thought.
I can inject Hekate and it launches on my switch. (sometimes I have to try two times to boot Hekate because I get a black screen).

But: I can't seem to run atmosphere.

If I go in the 'Launch' section and choose 'Fusee'. It shows me the Atmosphere logo for about a second then my screen just becomes black. I need to force reboot the switch after this.
If I choose 'CFW sysMMC', I just get the black screen immediatly without the atmosphere logo.
I found similar threads online, but I couldn't find an explanation anywhere.

What I tried:
- My SD card was exFAT, but I formatted to FAT32 with 32kb cluster
- I deleted the 'contents' folder from Atmosphere on my sd card.


I have no clue what to do next.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

FW on the switch is 16.1.0
I used this to set up my sd card: https://www.sdsetup.com/

Thanks in advance!

I updated hekate to 6.0.6, but doesn't really make a difference.

Not to discredit the site you've been using, but personally, I would do it all manually. Download the latest Atmos, the latest hekate / nyx and populate your SD card using one of the many tutorials on YT. Out of curiosity - does the switch load into horizon fine?

I just had this problem when I upgraded yesterday. I had to wipe out the atmosphere and the switch folder and rebuild the folders (fresh downloads of the files) and put the appropriate files in the folders and then uploaded them to my SD card and everything started working. I also started using sys-patch and sig-patches together as well.

Please tell me exact files and steps, I have this switch I found it already has CFW, and it is 16.10.0 but on the SD card i found CFW 16.0.0 it seems like the files are mixed or something like that, I think that why I have the problem.
