Happy Holidays everyone! Lurking for ages... I have have been into modding for a while: flash carts for GBA/NDS, some hard mods (Afterburner), Wii, WiiU, NDS, 3DS, and now Switch. I have/had a fully working emuMMC with patches.
I only intended to boot manually to Hekate via RCM when needed and use the same SD card when I run OFW.
I had this working without any issues until this morning. When I booted, I see the splash screen and then it goes blank. I pulled the SD card and checked a few core files like the payload, hekate_ipl.ini, and update.bin and file checksum is fine. This is a FAT32 formatted file based emuMMC.
So it's clearly a bootloader issue. Then I removed patches.ini and removed kip1patch=nosigchk from hekate_ipl.ini in /bootloader. I could boot into Hekate, no issues. Then I added those two back and it boots up, no problem. I launch emuMMC, no issues.
THEN, I boot OFW once, and try RCM to Hekate and BAM, black screen again. It's as if something is happening on the OFW side to muck with the patches.ini/Hekate emuMMC side. Everything I have read would indicate it's safe and normal to use the same SD card between OFW and emuMMC.
Is this a known issue? This is hekate v5.9.0 & Nyx v1.4.0. I do see there is a new version, but wanted to see if others had similar issues with patches.ini and getting into Hekate normally. I am using: "CURRENT BETA SIGPATCHES UPDATED FOR FW 15.0.1 AND ATMOSPHERE v1.4.0" from this forum. The switch is v1 with no hardmods, only using RCM dongle.
