Hello all,

I'm running 8.1.0 / AMS 0.9.4 and since yesterday everything was working fine, I tried to install HB Shop and dragged across all of the files onto the SD card etc... I have managed to load up HB Shop but it says my time / date is incorrect.

For some reason my time and date is stuck on 08/06/2017 04:21 despite being connected to the internet?

And now all of my games except Mario Kart 8 state "Could not start the software" go back to the home menu. I've got the latest SIG patches and I've reinstalled Atmosphere and Hekate. I'm stuck and can't figure out what the problem is.

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

I'm not sure, I mean I do remember seeing the Kosmos screen before booting up and now I don't see it anymore. I've just tried booting through primary fusee and those patches and that doesn't work either. I reinstalled Atmosphere again, tried going back to 0.9.3 just to see if that made a difference, nothing.

Mario Kart 8 is also corrupt now too.

Do you think I should just start again, reformat and go through the guide?

Actually I do remember the AtlasNX screen popping up. When I installed the Shop app I couldn't boot into Atmosphere anymore, so I reinstalled Atmosphere and nothing works. So maybe I need to go back to the AtlasNx which I got through sdsetup.com which isn't loading for me at the moment.

Ok, how would I go about restarting? Just reformatting the whole thing, creating a new SYSNAND copy and create a new EMUNAND etc..?

Can I just reformat on OFW, update to 9.0.1 normally and then start the guide again? - Sorry for these questions, just don't want to mess up. I appreciate your fast response too :)

Strangely I now have the same problem as well, everything worked fine yesterday and I've tried copying the sig-patches over again to no avail

EDIT: Just tried redoing it all from scratch and I have the same problem still.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s

  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
