Hacking Unable to boot Custom Firmware after installing 9.1.0

[ceanth]

Hi all,

I recently updated my switch from 8.1.0 to 9.1.0 and I am now I am not able to boot any custom firmware.

I was running Reinx so I switched to Atmosphere 0.9.1 All went well and I was able to boot into Atmosphere fine, all games and everything was working like it was before. My plan was to update to 9.1.0 using choidujournx, then update Atmosphere to the latest version.

I updated to 9.1.0 and it went fine, I then updated Atmosphere to 0.10.5 and I wasn't able to boot. I got a fatal error when trying to boot. I tried different versions of Atmosphere but no luck.

After some more research I found out that mac users have issues with Archived files, so I installed Windows (via Parallel) and formatted my SD card and tried again but no luck.

I gave up on Atmosphere and tried the latest Kosmos 15.3. I booted up hakate but again I can't get into Kosmos, it just throws me out back into the hakate menu. I noticed an option to boot into the system, i.e. no custom rom so I did that and the switch booted fine. I did get an error saying my SD card needed to be formatted, so thinking that my SD was still not clean I formatted it in the switch menu. I tried it all again and I have the same issue. One strange thing is that when I boot into the system I can see my previous games which makes me think that the SD card still isn't clean.

Can anybody offer any advise on how to get this working?

I sure hope Animal Crossing is worth all this

How is your SD card formatted?

How is your SD card formatted?

I formatted the SD card on the MAC as exfat.

After some more trial and error I realised that the switch was only reading fat32 even though I had specified exfat in choidujournx.

I don't really understand why that is the case

That certainly is weird. It would be worth more investigation if the author of the app was still regularly updating it

To be honest with you I've now accepted fat32 and using a splitter app to chop up big files

What Program you using to chop up the files?

Im using this:

In order for goldleaf to recognise the split files I have to use Windows to make the folder Archive, not sure how to do it on mac so I installed Parallels and was able to do it that way.
