Hm I am out of luck. After booting I have again black screen. Did you include anything else?

I have included all the files in the video, together with my prod.keys, I am injecting fusee, it boots, shows logo and then black screen

Here's exactly what I did (this worked for me but again this may be pure luck):
1. Extracted atmosphere-0.9.4-master-a750e55f+hbl-2.2+hbmenu-3.1.1.zip to the root of the SD Card
2. Extracted 2.0.0-9.0.0 (4).zip onto the root of the SD card (overwriting existing files in case you are asked to)
3. Copied prod.keys file to sdcard\switch folder
4. Extracted hbgshop_aio_4.1.0.zip file to the root of the SD Card (replace all existing files if prompted to do so)
5. Copied the NX-8.1.0 folder (this folder holds the nca files for the firmware) to the Switch folder (sdcard\switch\NX-8.1.0)
6. Place the sd card back into the Switch, slide the dongle in
7. Launch TegraRcmGUI.exe and boot up your Switch (Power + Vol up)
8. Once the Switch has booted, went to Album, selected Choidujour, browsed to the NX-8.1.0 folder and selected it from the menu
9. Completed the installation from there
10. Back to home menu on the Switch, Turned off console (hold power button for a few seconds, select turn off from menu)
11. Copied boot.dat from SX OS 2.8 zip file to the root of the SD Card (removed all previously installed stuff from step 1)
12. I only make sure I have tinfoil.nro ; sx.nro ; ChoiDujourNX.nro on the Switch folder)
13. SD Card back into the Switch (dongle and SX bottom device), booted using Power + Vol up
14. Working as expected again (FW 8.1.0)
15. Waiting for a fix for 9.0.0...

Good luck to you, but if possible check with other more knowledgeable people, I really got lucky I guess.

This leads us to another issue:
2) Users have also been reporting that the latest SX OS 2.9 BETA when loading into 9.0.0 firmware causes a GCFuse to burn (Game Cart Fuse) that prevents you from using game carts and/or XCI's on firmware versions lower then 9.0.0. I have not personally tested this but I feel people should be aware of this potential issue as well.

What do you mean by this?

Is it true you can't load converted XCI?

Games in xci format with firmware lower than 9.0.0 do not work anymore if your console is running FW 9.0.0 with SX OS 2.9. This is what I experienced myself. Other XCI files worked fine.

So you mean almost all XCI does not work? Since I don't know of a game that requires 9.0.

On firmware 9.0.0 with SXOS 2.9 only unmodified XCIs will load, custom XCIs will not load. In regards to the GCfuse burn.. if you were to downgrade to firmware lower than 9.0.0 you will discover that game carts and XCIs will no longer load (as reported, I have not tested this myself as mentioned)

When you say custom XCI, you mean converted from NSP, right?

snoofly · Sep 29, 2019

SX never supported custom xcis.
If they did work it was more by chance (perhaps if they were built by ncs builder) as I enquired about the same over at the TX forums.
Regular xcis work perfectly fine however.
It does sound perhaps though that fewer cxcis now work with 2.9beta than before.

XCIs that have been modified to include updates, dlc, etc. Not sure if this includes ones converted from NSP as I haven’t tested this but I wouldn’t be surprised if these are effected as well.

XCis that contain updates and/or dlcs ... (aka superxci files for instance)

I'm sure he means Free Games in .XCI format that are posted on the Net...

Baoulettes · Sep 29, 2019

No any of these issues for me.
I am on 9.0.0 and sx os 2.9.
The only difference is that I do not care about my efuse so I update via nintendo's intended way.

I will try that "B" button in album while docked (I maintly use home button to exit things)
only one XCI that was not working else anything seem to be "fine" for me.

Best is dont update when you dont need it!

Im on SysNAND 9.0.0 for online play and so my GCfuse is burned.
My EmuNAND is still on 8.1.0 and i can load without any problem my XCIs but Original GameCards dont work anymore.

So even if you use all the Time Atmosphere if you boot 1 time the OFW 9.0.0 or Higher your GCFuse is gone.

snoofly · Sep 29, 2019

update sys to 9 burn fuses who cares, backup saves etc and wipe your card, create your atmos and sx emunands from your sys, reinstall all yo shizzle, job done

This fiasco has really dented TX rep even further. I just don't understand how they can mess this up. They need to fix there crap asap.

socialbacon · Sep 29, 2019

Two days, no further comment from TX, commenting disabled on MaxConsole...
You've lost my support, TX.
I've formatted my SD card and am in the process of setting it up to run Atmosphere.

gotta agree with this.
i’m not personally affected by the issues as i adopted a different approach but they did seem to release a subpar product despite being late to the draw this time.
as such, i’ve transitioned to doing most of my stuff under atmos emummc now simply for future proofing as it seems to get updated more quickly
i keep an sx emunand around for any xci mounting, that’s it really.
i’ve always supported sx for being more full featured (xci,usb) but as you can run both concurrently, due to the attention atmos gets and it’s focus on homebrew support (flycast still a no go under 2.9, this actually was my catalyst to transitioning), its my workhorse now

This is why when people say that SX OS is obsolete, you should listen

Right...custom XCI and HDD loading are obsolete. You got me there buddy. Instead of waiting for a proper fix I will switch to Atmosphere now.

yes they are, tell me a good reason to use slow XCI that can't switch from docked to handheld instead of nsp that load in fast microSD cards without having to go to a special menu to load them or any other special peripheral
