Hi there! Im using RajNX on fw 4.1. I had to update to 4.1 with exfat support using choidujour and i'm booting using "preventgcupdate" ever since.
Just now I tried to use one of my original game cards and got a "card not recognized" error. The same happens with any other game cards.
Is this supposed to happen?
I suspect this may be related to the "preventgcupdate" boot procedure, but since i'm not really sure it would be nice if someone could confirm before i make a mistake.
Thanks!
Were you on 4.1.0 *before* you used "choidujour"? If yes, then using the "preventgcupdate" is pointless. That is
specifically for OF predating 4.0.0. Firmware 4.0.0 updated the cartridge slot, so earlier firmwares can't use the updated slot. If you want to downgrade to an earlier firmware (assuming you had a previous earlier firmware installed, and haven't burned fuses by updating through official channels), you need to prevent the gamecard slot from updating, to go back.
For example, in my 3.0.0 switch, I'd need to use that feature, otherwise my cartridges won't work if/when I go to 5.1, then back to 3.0. On my 4.1 switch though, since it's already passed 4.0, my cartridge slot is already updated, so there's no point to preventing that update.
Also, yes, that's expected behaviour. With "preventgcupdate" installed/running, your game carts won't be recognized because your cartridge slot is disabled (to prevent it from updating).
TL;DR - If your Switch was on Official Horizon 4.0.0 or higher, before you ran HBL, CFW, or any other related stuff, don't use "preventgcupdate", as it's feature set is already used/too late to be useful.
Hope that helps. Mouser X over and out.
