Can anybody please help I learnt all this stuff last December and decided to update to the latest firmware, I deleted atmosphere and put the latest version onto the sd card I downloaded hekate and put the latest boot loader onto the sd card I then updated the hekate ini.bin file as i couldn't boot into anything, I booted into emummc and the games that I previously played fine now give me one of two error messages:
'could not start the software please try again from the home menu or corrupt data has been detected please run a check for corrupt data.
Any help at all be greatly appreciated am happy to start all over again if needs be
thanks in advance Marc
When you update your firmware or CFW version, you also have to update your patches. You can find the latest patches in the pinned thread on this forum.

Where did you download the patches from? Not all places have them fully updated.

redownload from another source other than tinfoil, don't asks where to get games you can't asks that here.

Double-check that you're using the latest signature patches. Depending on when you downloaded your signature patches, some might have been omitted by mistake.

Hi. It's getting closer to when I'll be modding my switch (should get jig soon)

I was browsing the homebrew guide, and I didn't see it mention what format to use for the micro-sd card.
I saw some older posts mentioning ExFat becuase of big game sizes, but I don't know if it's still the case or if there's a better format now.

So which format would be good?

FAT32, but learn how to do usb install via a computer.

I guess windows doesn't want to format my card to fat32, it only has he option for exfat.
Is there a good program to do it with?

You're sure it's unpatched? (checked the serial num?)

You need the switch, a USB for it to connect to PC or android, or something else that can send the payload needed.
You also need a good micro-sd card that's ideally at least 64gb, but depending on what you want to do with it then more size is better :P
And finally it's good to buy a 'jig' that you need in order to put it into RCM mode, which you can buy online for around 5 to 8$ (alternatively it's possible to make a paper clip do it, but I'd recommend the safer route)

Also to be decent at getting info but especially to follow guides.

It says converting to fat is a paid feature.

There should only be one serial number, or oh you mean you found a couple switches that are unpatched?
Yeah if the numbers after that are within the range of moddable then you should be good. Just need to follow the methods to mod.

It's good to know what you want to mod it for, too.

You don't have to pay, I used before, it format for free for me, just use the free version of minitool partition it does it job.

The new version doesn't let me, it wants me to upgrade it.

I could find another way to do it, but just to know, what makes exFat more difficult to work with?
