Hacking Switch can't seem to find boot.dat anymore

Ishzark · Jun 24, 2021

Sup guys,

got a bigger problem here - as mentioned, my Switch doesn't seem to find the boot.dat required for my SXOS startup(I only use it to go into atmos) anymore.

The SD Card works perfectly fine and the console itself accepts the card(it's mentioned in the system storage settings when I boot up normally)

Am I missing something? Can it be that my SD card or(worst case scenario) the SD card reader from my switch is dead?

Is there another way to boot into atmosphere?

Thanks in advance

Edit: tried to go into cfw using tegrarcm

I get the error message that there is a bit missing, sounds like my card reader is toast

But it only gives me errors when I try to start a cfw, i can access the sd card normally in the ofw

I see the boot.dat error on boot more frequently now. I have found that ensuring you press the volume down key more firmly until the menu appears.

I also have to have rcm jig installed and my loader.

will try another sd card today when I get back from work, hopefully that's the problem ^^
