nogc = 0 not working Atmos 1.2.4

KiwiSwitcher · Nov 8, 2021

Hi peeps,

I know this has come up before with other people but I've started a new thread here since my case may be limited to my individual circumstances...

Just updated to Atmos 1.2.4 and I'm getting the "no game cartridge" error. I've checked and my BCT.ini file DOES have nogc = 0 in it - so why's it not working this time?

I boot using Fusee, not Hekate.

One thing I did differently than usual - I installed sigpatches from this thread:
https://gbatemp.net/threads/sigpatches-for-atmosphere-hekate-fss0-fusee-package3.571543/
which has patches for both Hekate and Fusee users, combined in one zip file... rather than just getting the Fusee only patches. The thread said it should cover both types of people, and so far the rest of my switch is working.

Here's a copy of the contents of my BCT.ini file:

BCT0
[stage1]
stage2_path = atmosphere/fusee-secondary.bin
stage2_mtc_path = atmosphere/fusee-mtc.bin
stage2_addr = 0xF0000000
stage2_entrypoint = 0xF0000000
nogc = 0

[stratosphere]
; To force-enable nogc, add nogc = 1
; To force-disable nogc, add nogc = 0

; To opt out of using Atmosphere's NCM reimplementation, add disable_ncm = 1

Am I missing something here?
Thanks!

I think you should put 'nogc = 0' under the '[stratosphere]' line.
Because it is a setting for 'stratosphere' and not 'stage1'.

bct.ini is no longer used. need stratosphere.ini

Awesome thanks! It worked when I did it on the stratosphere file.

I don't know what's the problem but I put the stratosphere file with nogc = 0 in the config folder of atmosphere and it keep don't working

Badablek · Nov 12, 2021

maybe you're using Hekate to boot Atmosphère ?

then you need to disable autonogc in hekate_ipl.ini too
line 7 : autonogc=0

Stratosphere.ini gird on ROOT of SD

what are you talking about ? and why are you quoting me (talking about HEKATE_IPL.INI) to talk about stratosphere.ini ?

and BTW stratosphere.ini goes to atmosphere\config, should I say : RTFM ?
(from the original developers of Atmosphere....)

This is the configuration file used by fusée for configuring user-space system modules. This file is located under the /atmosphere/config/ folder on your SD card and a default template can be found inside the /atmosphere/config_templates/ folder.

the only Atmosphere INI file that goes to the root of the SD Card is exosphere.ini, and nothing else !

This is the configuration file used by exosphère. This file is located in the root of your SD card and a default template can be found inside the /atmosphere/config_templates/ folder.

finally, the OP and devilblue1997 have solved the problem by following whats was said in this thread...so, what the point of your quote/"answer" ?

impeeza · Nov 21, 2021

Yes my bad, I get confused between stratosphere.ini & exosphere.ini

for clarify, (and my mind seek) the file SD:/atmosphere/config/stratosphere.ini has to contain:

Code:

[stratosphere]
nogc = 1

Where:
; To force-enable nogc, add nogc = 1
; To force-disable nogc, add nogc = 0

Am I correct?

after you change the .ini file, do you need to update firmware? Reboot?

I changed the .ini and the cart slot is still dead.

yes, you need to reboot. How did you change the file? ftpd? Don't know of any other way to change it without booting into nyx or removing the sd... in which case you'd have to reload your cfw...

either way, do you think it was faster to ask that and wait for an answer, than to simply try? You could have used either reboot to payload, or payload launcher, so it's not like you needed a jig handy (assuming you made the edit with the card still in your Switch).

Well its still not working, so I dont know how the shit you are supposed to get the card slot to update and burn the damn fuses. I dont know why the fuck atmosphere would think its a good idea to just disable the card slot, especially when so many people seem to have issues making it work correctly again.

Half the problem is people following outdated guides.

quit updating in syscfw.. always update in stock ofw to burn gc fuses(when applicable). you can fix yours by waiting for the next ofw update and updating in stock ofw.

not necessary. If the latest firmware is installed, you simply need to boot OFW, and the fuses will be burned. This is why autonogc was created in the first place.

if you have to boot stock ofw anyway to burn the fuses then you might as well update in stock ofw. not necessary to update in cfw and risk nintendo logging you plus literally no reason to preserve fuses these days.

Yea, I meant it's not necessary to wait for a new firmware update. Simply boot ofw and the fuses will be burned to the proper number. That solves the OP's issue, assuming the location and name of the .ini entry are correct (i.e. nogc or autonogc...).

How do you launch Atmosphere? Using Hekate or fusee?
