Hello all,
Here is my dilemma:

When I was on firmware 9.0.1 (using Hekate 5.0.2, and Atmosphere 2018 version (I am not sure about the exact version), both RetroArch and pFBA loaded fine, and I could get all the arcade and SNES/GENESIS ROMs running on the system.

If I updated my Atmosphere / Hekate, both pFBA and RetroArch would generate 2144-0001 (0x290), as soon as I launched them.

So, I decided to have TWO different miniSD cards:

- One miniSD card with the latest Atmosphere / Hekate, for Switch games (you know, modern, recent games)

- The other miniSD card with the initial versions of Atmosphere / Hekate (when I jailbroken my Switch, back in 2018), for running pFBA and (RetroArch (basically old school retro games)


This dual setup worked really well, until some newer games forced me to upgrade firmware from 9.0.1 to the latest 12.0.3 (as of 06/22/2021 that is).

Now here is the issue:

When I insert my original miniSD card (with 2018 versions of Atmosphere / Hekate), the Switch does not boot at all (blank screen, but I know it is ON).

If I run the Hekate_ctcaer_5.0.2 payload, I get to the Hekate screen, but when I click on any of the three boot options, screen goes blank, and I get back to the main Hekate screen.

How can I run RetroArch and pFBA without the getting the error 2144-0001 (0x290) ???

Thanks so much for your help!

UPDATE:
Apparently I had to launch a game from the main many using R (full resources), in order to go into the homebrew menu, and then launch pFBA and RetropArch!

I am not sure if this is even the correct place, but I had three nsp's for FBA, NES and SNES with PYR as creator, so I thought someone might help here. I have the same problem as above. All three nsps worked perfect from the switch homescreen without the need to go into homebrew menus like some others, that made them the best. Now with the newest firmware and Atmosphere all 3 stopped working from the switch homescreen and give an error. In the homebrew menu snes and nes still work, while fba is crashing atmosphere.
Is there any hope for an update anytime soon to fix that?

Folow this thread carefully : https://gbatemp.net/threads/gui-for-nsp-forwarder-tool-for-12.588018/
you will be able to make your own forwarders, which will work nicely on 12+ firmwares

BTW, pFBA, pNes & pSnes are working nicely on Atmosphere 0.19.5 (under firmware 12.1.0), don't use applet mode to launch Homebrew Menu and you'll be fine.

just hold R bumper on any switch game title will take you to homebrew launch it gives more boost than using album app album apps is old and outdated
