Question Can't use cartridges with AMS but they work on sxos

Disable nogc in hekate if your using hekate. Also check BCT.ini and set: nogc = 0
This is set to keep your game cart firmware from updating

 

if you used a cartridge on sx os v11.0 your card reader firmware should have updated, just boot into atmosphere and it should load the game cartridges fine.

If you havent touched nogc option it should be on auto, it s blocked when there is a firmware missmatch, if gamecart and console firmware are the same it should load.

 

How do you boot into Atmosphere? Do you use Hekate or fusee?

 

Boot without game cartridge in slot, then once running AMS/ Stock, insert the game cartridge....

 

do you have a bct file in atmos/config folder? make sure u have one use the bct templete in atmos/config_template folder

also, make sure you're on latest atmos v18

 

Yes and make sure the " ; " is deleted in front of lines you want to make active
Example:
; To force-disable nogc, add nogc = 0 - NON ACTIVE
To force-disable nogc, add nogc = 0 - ACTIVE

 

Do you chainload into fusee_primary or do you launch directly into Atmosphere via fss0?

 

Go to SDSetup.com and download Atmosphere/Hekate plus whatever else you want.

 

Are you still chainloading or booting directly into Atmosphere via Hekate/fss0?

 

@M8ruxan if you update your firmware it also overwrites boot0/1 partition which undoes autorcm which you need to reapply

 

Glad you got it fixed. I don't use cartridges, but the information the people provided here would be of great help in the near future when I decide to use my cartridges.

 

Firmware updates not only update your firmware but BOOT0/BOOT1 because those are firmware-dependent. BOOT0 is also where AutoRCM is installed to so if BOOT0 is updated, then AutoRCM will be removed.
