    Cannot read any game cart when in Atmosphere, fatal error when using nogc=0

    I see. In that case (since there's no going back anymore), if I were to boot up the game card in the sysMMC, it should work now? Or will I still need to disable Auto NoGC before doing so?

    Cannot read any game cart when in Atmosphere, fatal error when using nogc=0

    This is what I did: 0) Install FW 9.0.0 on the sysMMC via Daybreak on Atmosphere. 1) Reboot to Hekate, disable Auto NoGC. 2) Boot up sysMMC via Atmosphere. 3) Insert game card, Atmosphere crashes the Switch with an error. 4) Boot up sysMMC default. Retry game card. 5) Switch error, can't read...

    Oh. I wasn't aware. How do you find out whether or not the card slot's fuses have been burnt, and to what firmware version?

    Cannot read any game cart when in Atmosphere, fatal error when using nogc=0

    I took out the game card and booted up the emuNAND without re-enabling Auto NoGC, and then went back to Hekate to see whether any fuses got burnt, and it stated"10 | 0 HOW: 8.1.0" or something like that. Well, I didn't really want to waste any more time, so I just fetched another copy of the...

    Well, I tried to boot up my game card with Auto NoGC disabled in the Hekate GUI, but it failed on the sysNAND (both CFW and OFW). Not sure why. Perhaps incorrect reported FW version required?

    How do I figure out whether my microSD's emuNAND is file-based or partition-based?

    Ahh, okay. It's as I suspected, then. So I would need to strictly boot up these game cards on the sysNAND and make sure to re-enable Auto NoGC for the emuNAND whenever I swap to that OS.

    Apologies, but you've lost me, perhaps due to wording. So if I do boot up the game card on the emuNAND with the newer OS FW, the game card FW will be updated with burnt fuses to 14.0.0 no matter what, which means no going back? I.E. I must always use these game cards on the sysNAND no matter...

    Oh! So the hidden partition created on the microSD doesn't matter, and Hekate/Atmosphere recreates it automatically? It's as simple as copying the contents 1:1 from the microSD's accessible drive to the new microSD?

    Got it, thanks for the clarification. Since my last post, I've already successfully updated my OFW to 9.0.0 to be in-line with the game card's requirement. However, I haven't disabled Auto NoGC yet. One last question before I do so: If I disable Auto NoGC to burn some fuses on the game card...

    If I wanted to upgrade my microSD to a larger capacity one, would I have to redo the softmod from scratch, or is there a way to clone the current microSD to the bigger one? I'm aware that the Switch creates a hidden drive on the microSD, which may or may not be cloneable.

    I see. So basically, if a game is more recent and I want to use the physical game card, I would need to install newer firmware on both the OS as well as the GC slot. That's useful to keep in mind. For the time being, it seems I only need to update the OFW to 9.0.0, so I'll start with that for...

    I made a minor edit to my previous post, which I think you may have missed. That being said, it seems OFW 9.0.0 came out five years ago, so unless the GC FW has been updated again at any point since then, it's probably a non-issue to disable Auto NoGC now since Nintendo probably doesn't care...

    Hi there, thank you for the quick response! I did a bit more research, reading through some of the pages here, and I have a better understanding of what Auto NoGC does now. Considering how old the Switch is and how it seems like nothing's really going to change from here, I don't really mind...

    Hi. Necrobump, but thread is relevant to my question. I'd like to boot up some of my old retail game cards again, but that would involve disabling Auto NoGC in Hekate. Is it safe to do so? What are the possible consequences of burning fuses now, by disabling that? Or should I seek out and...
