Hacking Question Black screen when launching emuMMC

[DafKA30]

Hello everyone, I encountered a problem with my switch:

I updated my sysnand to the latest firmware 9.2.0. Then I formatted my SD card in FAT32 (with tegraExplorer) and made a SD Files emuMMC partition. The result was: black screen after the atmosphere logo.
I formatted my SD card in ExFAT and made the emuMMC again. It worked flawlessly. I can start atmosphere without any problem.
I also need to say that when I formatted my SD with TegraExplorer.bin -> Format for EmuMMC setup and then performed a SD partition emuMMC, it worked fine. I don't know why SD Files version now only boots exFAT.
I got an update for the sdxc cards when updating to the 9.2.0 FW so I guess now the emuMMC can only work with exFAT cards. Or does it come from my SD Card?

Thanks in advance!

I'm pretty sure you can still use a Fat32 card on exFat firmware if you want, just not the other way around. Not sure if hekate/emmuMMC cares which format it's reading from when launching, someone else might be able to answer that. Just try putting all your Nintendo folder files in the emmuMMC/RAW0/Nintendo/ folder for games and other user data to show up in emummc.

It's strange though because I had the opposite experience, where the SD file on exFAT gave me a black screen and the partition on fat32 worked flawlessly. I only reformatted to fat32 after hearing that exfat has a tendency to corrupt which I ran into transferring files back and forth but if it's working for you so far I'd say just stick with that.

You can check whether you're actually running emummc by looking at the firmware version I think- it'll have an "|E" at the end of the version number.

SD Partition on FAT32 also worked for me. It's really just the SD File on Fat32 that's not working. I'll try to copy my files on a fat32 sd card now but I don't think it will magically work

Well, it does not work... And I tried with an other SD Card just to be sure.
