Hello I updated to the latest atmosphere and hekate version and have downloaded the latest syspatches but I am unable to launch my emummc as it says "failed to apply emummc" "failed to launch HOS"I have also deleted kip1patch=nosigchk from my hekate.ipl.ini
I have a switch lite with a modded chip.IS there anything I can do to fix this?
 
Hi everyone,

I’m trying to play Slay the Spire on my Switch with Atmosphère (HATS pack), but the game won’t start because it asks for an internet connection.
I read that there is an IPS patch to disable the online check (TitleID: 010026300BA4A000).

Could someone please share or point me to the correct offline patch for the latest version of the game? Thanks in advance!
 
I have downloaded the hekate (hekate_ctcaer_6.3.1_Nyx_1.7.0), syspatches (sys-patch_1.5.7) and atmosphere (atmosphere-1.9.4-master-d7936d3fa+hbl-2.4.4+hbmenu-3.6.0(1)) and I have installed them on my 19.0 firmware and everything still works great.

Darthsternie does not upload the latest firmwares. I have only found the firmware 20.4.0 here: https://sighya.fr/public/Firmware_20.4.0.0200.zip

Is it ok? Do you have md5 or the sh256 of the firmware to be sure I have the right one?

I would grab FW from the THZoria git.
 
It's been so long since I touched my switch, but I do know how to update atmosphere but how do you update the firmware again, and what version is safe to install?. I do remember something about daybreak?

The only thing that I'm using is sys-patch which covers majority of the stuff. Since you're using HATS pack, it should have sys-patch included, so I'm not sure how to fix that.

Check this guide. Basically you'll need to find the latest firmware files (can't link to them here, but a quick Google search is all it takes to find it), copy them to your SD card and run Daybreak. Make sure to read the guide if it's been a while since you've updated your console. Latest 20.4.0 should work fine, I'm still on 20.3.0 as I didn't find time to update my console yet.

Hello, if the base game is 19.0.0 but the update is 20+.
Does it mean I need to update to 20+ to play the game? Because currently I am still running 19.0.0

Much thanks

Not necessarily. Can't say for sure but sometimes title installers like DBI can lower the firmware requirement, making the game work on lower than intended firmware. Not sure how to check that manually, though, other than trying it out. I'm sure there's a tool for that but I haven't checked it out personally.

In most cases, if the base game can work on lower firmware, I would assume any updates would not change the minimum firmware required to run the game. Very little chances an update would actually push features only found on later firmware. But don't quote me on that. :)

Guys, what app let's me play mp4 (full movies I own) on the switch. I've seen a few apps but just wanted to know what you guys recommend now at days.
 
Hey everyone,

Yesterday, while installing Fear Effect Sedna using NS-USBloader, my 1TB microSD card formatted in exFAT crashed halfway through the installation. Since then, several folders have become unreadable or corrupted.

I had about a hundred games on it, and everything was working perfectly until now. The issue is that everything was stored in my emuMMC folder, and now it shows an error and appears empty... even though the card's properties show about 500 GB still in use (so the data is still there but inaccessible).

I’d like to know: which folders are absolutely essential to recover to keep my save files? And if anyone has ideas on how to repair the card or at least extract the important files, I’m all ears.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Ive got an Oled switch that I hadnt used in quiote a while and this is what I know about it

Its modded, and on firmware 20.4.0 according to thr system seetings and my atmosphere is 1.9.4/S

So I believe this to be updated (unless someone tells me otherwise.

The problem is, every single game i try has the same message in that it says "you will need to load the virtual game card to this console in order to play this software".

Ive never seen this message before and I've got no idea what it means. Like I isaid ive not really used the switch for months, I dont have a swtich 2 or anything. But I dont know what I need to do to get anything to run.

Ive tried a complete wipe of my SD card and used the latest AIO packs from places like NXVenom, Switchway , HATS etc, which before just "worked". But all of them are giving me the same issue.

Am i missing something glaringly obvious here or have I updated to far on official firmware/?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

- NXDumpTool: 1.1.15
- Atmosphere: 1.9.4|E
- Hekate: 6.3.1

If I don't wrong, you need the sig_patches.

Switch V1 doesnt work with USB File Trasnfer, it started happening all of a sudden. I can't seem to make it work, whenever I use the USB File Transfer or DBI it doesnt detect it but it does put it on charging, but if I go to Hekate and use the USB Tools, it loads the SD Card data just fine. I tried changing cables and using different machines as well, didnt work on PC or Laptop.
 
Trying to play Tetris Effect: Connected on Switch V1 and the game starts fine, prompts for updated user agreement, can move past that and play the game, beat the first group of levels then it starts into a game summary screen, prompts again for updated user agreement, then the game exits and I get:

Panic occurred while running Atmosphere.

Title ID: 010041544D530000
Error: std::abort (0xFFE)

Press POWER to continue.


Pressing power returns me to payload.

Is this fixable?

**UPDATE / WORKAROUND FOUND
The game itself has an "offline mode" option, activating this stopped the updated end user agreement nags and the game did not crash when playing.

Okay, so I've been having an issue. I upgraded my CFW to the latest 1.9.4 atmosphere but now I can't install any XCI or NSP. Can this be fixed if I go back to an older cfw? I can install via Tinfoil or DBI Installer but once it's done, the game icon on the Switch's home menu will just be a forever loading icon and it will never load the game icon itself. My official firmware is 20.1.1
