I have followed all the steps outlined in https://rentry.co/SwitchHackingIsEasy to put Hekate and Atmosphere. I have used the latest versions and I believe my folder structure is correct.

After bootking hekate and trying to load Atmosphere I get the sequence seen in this video. After the Atmos logos it takes literal minutes to get to the Nintendo Switch screen, from which the CFW never finishes to boot and eventually goes on a blank screen.

This is a newly formatted Mini SD card, although it's on the oldish side, circa 2012.

What could I do to debug this behavior, and maybe apply a fix? I have tried the obvious ones of repeating the process, and SysNand boots just okay.

How fast is the SD card and is it of good quality? Since it takes minutes for the Nintendo screen to appear it could be problems reading the SD card.

Had the same problem a while ago. Until I deleted the file exosphere.ini. Booted fine without this file.

I just tried and it didn't work :(

Someone on reddit suggested using the Atmos that first introduced my firmware, because it still is from 2018/9

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
