Hello, I just started using my modded Switch after not using it in a long time, and decided to update Atmosphere (complete with sigpatches), and from the tutorial updated hekate_ipl.ini. Then I injected the latest version of Hekate and selected Atmosphere FSS0 sysMMC, and the Atmosphere logo shows up, but then it only gives me a black screen. Am I missing something on my SD card to make it work properly? Am I using the wrong .ini file to use the sigpatches? Or do I need to also install Sys-Patch sysmodule to make it work. In case you ask, I'm on a lower firmware (v12, I believe), and I'm planning to update to 19.0.1, which is why I updated the files in the first place.

Edit: I did a clean reinstall of Atmosphere, Hekate, and the sigpatches, and booted the system with a custom version of fusee.bin. Everything is working fine now. Now to update the firmware.

I would stick to using emuMMC for your homebrew, as your console can be flagged by Nintendo if it's being used online. If the emuMMC does not match to the sigpatches then it needs to be updated.

Best to double-check your e-fuses to ensure that one of them haven't blown before proceeding. Depending on which firmware you have, the e-fuse count varies, whether you downgraded or not. If more of them blow then you have bricked your system, not without replacing the Tegra CPU.
