Hacking Hekate won't boot atmosphere when formatted as ExFAT

straKK · Mar 29, 2019

I updated my firmware to 7.0.1 with ExFAT yesterday, and so decided to move all my files off the SD card, format it as ExFAT, then put all the files back on and then boot. I am getting the following error:

"[FatFS] Error: NOFAT
Failed to mount SD card (FATFS Error 13).
Make sure that a FAT partition exists.."

How can I fix this?

Try letting the switch format your card.

Do I have to remove AutoRCM to do that? I can't format the card in the Switch while I'm in CFW right?

Don't use exFAT lol...

Don't waste your time on Exfat, you just gonna run into corruption problem, stick with FAT32, as for formatting, see if your computer can pick up the card, if can use minitool paritition wizard to partition it primary partion, FAT32, 32kb cluster, you can do usb install for large size game or use nsp splitter to split the size of game.

You can format your card using the switch even on cfw.
