Hello All,
I need your help for my switch. I can't boot anymore neither the original firmware or the custum one (sx Os).

Previously I had the following setup on my switch:
- Emunand installed on my switch, no auto rcm installed. I'm using SX Os.

I have updated my firmware with choidujour but unfortunally I have choosen the autorcm option (like the other time I have made updates). After this update I was not able to on my custom firmware on the original one. So I wonder if the Emunand was problematic so I made the (bad) decision to erase the Emunand from os option. Now I can't boot anymore, I'm only able to boot on SX boot menu then I have a black screen (original & custom firmware).
Can someone help me please ?

If you had Emunand installed, and you updated with ChoidujourNX, then you probably updated the emunand. By deleting it, you just removed your CFW, and your sysnand should still be OK. I would try to remove autoRCM with the SX boot menu. Worse case scenario, just re-install your nand backup. You made one, right? Right ?!?

make sure your sysnand working well, recreate a new emunand after payload and holding vol+ in RCM menu

Many thanks for your advice, yes I have made a backup (long long time ago) with the Keys. I will try your different advice and let you know the results.

anytime, backup boot0&1 and system at least. don't worry about old version becuase the cfw can skip efuse to run Hos.

Hello,
I have reinstalled the emunand as suggested, now the original firmware boots, but the custom one not...
Do you have an idea to make it boot ?
Regards

hos 10.0.3 ? replace sxos 2.9.5's boot.dat on your sd card root.
then delete folder path as sxos/titles/ is better.

    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
