Not an issue I need help resolving I'm just curious about this behavior - I updated my OFW to 11.0 last night and when booting 10.x CFW from Emunand I was getting an error which I later worked out was due to leaving a game cart (Diablo III) in the slot, removing it resolved the issue.

I'm just wondering why this happens - I mean, I guess the homescreen gets bypassed when a game is inserted at boot, but shouldn't the game just load (albeit under the CFW from the Emunand) what actually prevents it and causes atmosphere to crash?

Had the same problem, after researching a bit i found out that the game cartridge slot was indeed updated. Updating emuMMC to 11.0, atmosphere to the pre-release 0.16 and hekate to 5.5.0 fixed everything

There is an update for the cartridge slot in firmware 11.0 that prevents firmware versions below 11.0 from using cartridges. This is also not the first cartridge slot update as two more were applied in firmware versions 4.0 and 9.0

Maybe use the search function, because you’re not the first person to have this problem. The solution is always to update to the same firmware version for both sys and emu, and make sure in BCT.ini nogc=0 and in hekate_ipl.ini autonogc=0.
