Yeah, i dont know how that possible with the sxos payload.bin no longer on the card. Might as well remove all payloads and the txt file, and place atmos, sxos and reinx latest in their folders and try again. I have no idea:wacko:

It is better if you can post the pictures of every details in there so we can look at them and know what's going on and point the finger at to resolve the issues. Please post the pictures here.

As you can see the files are in the folder

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

But now it won’t switch colors to the certain Payload

It will only switch colors if you have multiple payloads. Never had an issue with mine like this

Just go into the SXOS folder and delete anything you see there. That should prevent it from trying to load SX OS, assuming you have the proper payload in Atmosphere.

Worst case scenario try doing a firmware upgrade on it.

On my RCM Loader I only intended to use it with Atmosphere, so I've deleted all other payloads to avoid launching the wrong one.

I deleted all the payloads from the rcmloader and I put the correct one in the ATMOSPHERE_HEKATE folder. when I put my switch in rcm mode the blue light flashes and nothing happens it stays in rcm mode. the only one that seemed to work was sxos before sxos wasn't booting until I put boot.dat on my sd card then it booted. is there somthing i missing on my sd card?

Are you sure that you have the correct files for Atmosphere already present on your SD card?

Also, it could be that your Windows is setup to hide file extensions for "known" file types. If that is the case, then your file is actually named "payload.bin.bin" even if you think it just says payload.bin. Try renaming the file and taking off the .bin part.

If you know how to use the command line sometimes I like to double-check by using "dir".

    @K3Nv2 Snow Day is pretty fun. My only bitch would be the camera controls, when you move around, say down, you have to move the right stick left or right to get camera to turn and get your view, other than that I like it so far.

    I just been playing offline, and they give you a few bots here n there on your team to help battle. I don't think it's as funny as the other games tho, more battle oriented than humor, which kinda sucks, but I'm still early in it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, doesnt the game have a campaign mode?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, and co-op, but you can also start a pvp session and battle just with friends. You get special skill cards (powers) the more you play. And higher value cards, but you can only enable so many cards at a time.
