Your [Stock - sysMMC] looks correct.
What version of Hekate are you injecting?
What version of FW is on your stock Sysnand?
If I want to just launch stock from hekate, and the stock firmware is higher (I didn't update hekate becuase my emummc is on a lower version), could that be the issue?
If that's the case, I don't understand why hekate would need to be updated just to launch stock.
Can I remove those options from launch and just say 'reboot' into ofw instead?
If it does PD properly you should be OK. There are still folks that shy away from 3rd party charging but that was due to a bad emulation of the PD spec. I’ve been using various chargers without issue. YMMV
Here are some more in the same power/price range along with reviews:

1. Aukey Omnia 65W (PA-B4)
Best Laptop USB-C Charger OverallThey weren’t as kind to the RAVPower…
- RAVPower Pioneer 61W (RP-PC112): This 61-watt charger isn’t as small as the Aukey Omnia PA-B2, but it gets significantly warmer after 20 minutes running at 59 watts. It can hit a full 69.48 watts for a time, but it can’t sustain that wattage and will shut down before 20 minutes have passed.
Here’s one with 12000+ reviews on Amazon for $16.00
I’d say that’s pretty good…

Under Windows Properties it is showing up as exFAT.
It has been a long time since I set this thing up, but I thought I set up a partition with Emunand. I tried using NxNandManager and upon opening the "drive", it lists several partitions, including BOOT0, BOOT1, PRODINFO, PRODINFOF,6 different BCPAG, SAFE, SYSTEM, AND USER.
On the top under storage information:
Name: PhysicalDrive2
Nx type: FULL NAND
Size: 29.13GB
Device ID: KEYSET NEEDED!
FW ver: 13.2.1
SoC Revision: Erista
Auto RCM: Disabled
Bootloader ver: 16
Backup GPT: Found
I have a 512GB card, but I don't see any partition that has more than 2.5GB in the list.
I CAN boot directly to the official firmware (sysnand?) without any errors.
Upgrading Hekate won’t hurt anything.
Do this, move/rename your /bootloader directory to /bootloader.bk and the unzip a copy of the latest Hekate.x.x.x.zip at the root of your SDCard.
Make a copy of /bootloader.bk/hekate_ipl.ini to /bootloader/hekate_ipl.ini
Do the same for /atmosphere by renaming/moving it to /atmosphere.bk and unzip the latest atmosphere.x.x.x.zip onto the root of your SDCard.
Reboot and see if that fixes everything…
If not you can put it all back my removing the new folders and removing the .bk extensions on your original directories.
So essentially to see if the latest hekate and atmosphere fixes it?
I can do that later or sometime. But if I use hekate's reboot into ofw, can I go into my stock that way even if I have auto-rcm? I guess i could try it. Gotta go for now though.
Thanks for the info and help up to now.
This is probably corrupted. We need to get you on FAT32.
This is the hidden partition, it’s perfect…we can keep this.
You won’t see it…it;s a hidden partition
This is good news…there’s nothing wrong with your switch. That means it;s almost certainly your SDCard.
Do you have another SDCard we can use?
If not we will want to backup the data on your exfat partition using copy paste under Windows.
To backup your emunand you can use Hekate or Emutool to backup your hidden partition. Make sure you are backing up emunand and NOT Sysnand this time.
after you’ve confirmed your backups we need to test your SDCard with h2testw and then format your card as non-bootable FAT32 w/ 32k blocks using rufus.
It was Persona 5 Royal, my save converted from the PS4. So none of those, so that's giving me confidence!
Interesting experiment, yeah I'm kind of thinking the same. 60 days is my soft "okay you're fine" and if nothing happens after 90 then I assume I'm good.
Hopefully someone can chime in with more data!
I have a noob question about updating hekate and atmosphere.
Some people have said to delete the atmosphere folder before putting in the new one. I don't know if that's said about the hekate/payloads folder. But I have files I added in the atmosphere folder, like the cave n64 stuff, etc. So do people really delete it and have to remember what they added?
Or can i just drag and replace the files?
And on my other issue, I'd like to find a way to boot to ofw without always having to update hekate and atmosphere. I have auto-rcm and I can't find a way to boot into stock/ofw.
(assuming the launch option isn't working because of atmosphere files being outdated)
@binkinator I don't know if you know a way. I wanted to ask if anyone knows though.

If you move your original directories to .bk
(atmosphere becomes atmosphere.bk and bootloader becomes bootloader.bk) you will not lose any data because it’s right there in the other folder. You can then copy things from your old folder to your new folder little bit at a time to make sure nothing breaks. If it does break you then go look for updates on the pieces you most recently copied over. This way is super safe and removes any doubt about the upgrade causing any issues (it’s almost always add ons that break, hence the recommendation of others to delete everything)
Dragging and dropping has potential to break things and it’s much tougher to roll back because you’ve overwritten things.
The way I’m suggesting is safe and clean and you can roll back to a known working state if don’t like how things turn out.
Thanks I'll do that then.
So I'll update this time. Though I wanted to use auto-rcm so that it's simpler. I find it's not simpler if i have to update them everytime there's a new system update for ofw.
I have a 256GB SanDisk Ultra that I can troubleshoot with.
Should I hold off on all this since I have an extra card?
Yes, let's do the testing on your extra card! That's the preferred way.
Here's a quick guide to starting fresh (if you don't already have one) and we can get the basics working and then migrate stuff from your old card to the new one to get things back the way they were. In the end, once we get everything perfected, we can reformat you old card and copy everything over, if that is your preferred end state.

Try right clicking the file in Windows and see if ReadOnly is set. If so, turn that off and then put the sd card back in your Switch and try again.
It might be missing Sigpatches

…or might have a bad nsp file.

I did all the get started stuff on the new SD card (create/backup Nand)/lockpick RCM. Do you want me to continue on and install Atmosphere?
If so, do I want a partition based or sd based emunand?
I was also looking at the guide where it says to disable cloud saves but to do that i needed to get off airplane mode, then it said I have to update the switch, which I'm afraid to do. I don't want to mess anything up

Yes…let’s do the entire thing and get you running with the basics.
Partition based.
Naw…don’t worry about that part. We’ll be OK. There are tools to work around that.I was also looking at the guide where it says to disable cloud saves but to do that i needed to get off airplane mode, then it said I have to update the switch, which I'm afraid to do. I don't want to mess anything up
We will also skip the part about upgrading the Sysnand. You can find that Darthsternie guy’s Firmware. It’s the same thing. We are only interested in getting your partition based emunand back up and running on a FAT32 for,attend SDCard.
Is there any way to move a save file from emunand to sysnand if the game was never on your sysnand?
For example: I have Pokemon Legends Arceus on emunand. I want to move the save to sysnand. But the game doesn't show up in any save manager on sysnand because it was never installed there. I just want it there so I can link with Pokemon Home.
Any way around that?
I believe I had read that JKSV had added that feature but the last build I found of it definitely didn't have that feature enabled.

I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.

Jayro:
Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.+1 -

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1 -

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite+1
