Hacking Question Some titles stuck on loading screen when loading some games

MRJPGames · Jun 18, 2020

Hey so I will try to be as clear, but also quick as possible.

I was installing Mario Odyssey to SD using Awoo Installer using a network install (with NS-USBLoader). However without thinking during the installation process I closed my laptop stopping the install. Awoo Installer froze and I force quit the application. Removed the Mario Odysey that appeared using the settings applet, and reinstalled over the network.

However when trying to launch Mario Odysey after the complete install, it gets stuck on the initial nintendo switch loading screen when launching the game.

But even more strage, botw also gets stuck at the same point; And Animal Crossing new Horizions (NAND) gets past the switch logo loading screen, but gets stuck during the first load of the game itself (the little island loading gets stuck).

Yet some games do still work. I haven't tested all games I have installed. But games both on NAND and SD are working, just like some games on NAND and SD are not working.

What could be the issue here? And can this be solved without a full NAND restore? (I do luckily have a NAND backup, but am absolutely not looking forward to going through the pain of restoring it.)

Further possibly relevant info:
CFW: AMS 0.13.0
Horizon OS: 9.2.0
Micro SD: 128GB, fat32, 32k cluster size

When you say it "gets stuck," do you mean it freezes, or is there an accompanying error code?

It gets stuck. So it just keeps on clicking the one controller. But it doesn't change.

Pressing the home button does nothing. Holding the power button does sometimes bring up the power menu, however sometimes I can restart (which causes the system to completely hang), other times I cannot interact with the shutdown/reboot menu.

At all times the only way I've found to get out of it is to hold the power button so long as to force-shutdown the system and to then do the RCM injection again to get the system back up and running.

Hope this additional info is useful!

Make sure the SD card is FAT32.
Remove all CFW files/folders from your SD card (that would be folders like /sept/ and /atmosphere/)
Download the latest Atmosphere
Download the latest fusee-primary (next to Atmosphere)
Download these signature patches (if you're using Atmosphere 0.13)
Put Atmosphere and the signature patches onto your SD card
Put the SD into your Switch
Enter RCM
Launch Atmosphere using fusee-primary

Do the games launch?

Thanks a ton! Finally got around to it and it worked perfectly!

I suppose there was some leftover from an older atmosphere/sigpatches that was causing this issue? Anyways it's great only the CFW had to be reinstalled.

[QUOTE = "MRJPGames, Beitrag: 9101236, Mitglied: 333593"] Vielen Dank! Endlich habe ich es geschafft und es hat perfekt funktioniert!

Ich nehme an, es gab einige Reste von einer älteren Atmosphäre / Sigpatches, die dieses Problem verursachten? Wie auch immer, es ist großartig, nur die CFW musste neu installiert werden. [/ QUOTE]

Omg Thanks

I have almost the same problem, trying to play AN NH and the switch gets stuck in an infinite nintendo loading screen, it doesn't freeze because i can press home menu and get out of the game and still use my console.

I tested other 3 games and they run normally, i already updated sigpatches, Atmosphere to latest version and tried using different installers such as Goldleaf and Awoo but still can't play the game. The only thing i haven't done is formatting to Fat32 the SD since I dont know how to and always used exfat because that's how the guide i used did it.

Today I'll try to install it from a friend's pc just in case my nsp file may be corrupt.

Im running
CFW: Atmosphere 0.14.1
OFW: 9.1.0
Using Emunand
128gb sd in ExFat Format cluster 128

I had a similar issue as well later on. For me the fix was to update OFW to the latest version.

I have the same issue and even after I did all the steps here, ac is still stuck on the loading screen with the floating island. Anyone else knows what can I do now?

Is Animal Crossing the only game giving you issues?
