Hi, ive recently helped a friend of mine on hacking the switch and buying the right tools, we have been able to set up emuMMC and make a nand backup, but when we try to boot it up, i get past the atmosphere logo, but the nintendo switch logo doesnt appear at all and hangs there.
I have taken the files from sdsetup.com, so I dont know what I am really doing wrong. Any help?
Version 9.0, we have checked the switch is not patched

SD Files? Eww.

Manually download the newest Atmosphere release and copy the files over your old ones replacing any it asks to. Then try again.

Also what format is your SD card in? If you haven't updated officially with the sdcard in you won't have the exFAT driver so make sure you're using FAT32.

It seems like SD format is the problem, is it fine if the emunand partition is FAT32, and the partition where the atmosphere files are located is exfat?

I had a similar problem. Hekate wouldn't boot atmosphere using the kosmos package. Just load the fuse primary payload and it should work

our problem after all was using exfat without the exfat drivers, now it works well!

It's fine but why use exFAT? exFAT is not recommended.

honestly no idea, mostly because my experience with exfat wasnt bad at all and worked flawlessly, ill use fat32 for future switches

    It could get banned from PSN but you can change your ID I think?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Psionic Roshambo, idk
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

    i dont have an sd card adapter but I have an usb sd card adapter
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Old people games
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    its not the one that comes with the r4
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    doesnt work (my flashcard is from r4isdhc.com)
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    might install ysmenu first
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Try Wood firmware
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    For your R4
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Psionic Roshambo, why?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    nvm it does support mine
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    but why choose it over ysmenu @Psionic Roshambo?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    bc im stupid?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    yea ik im stupid
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    good night
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    guys, my fuckin headphones have an out of place speaker
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Did you try wearing them?
