Hi I've been in hospital for a fair few months now and am back out and decided to update my atmosphere files on my SD card and now all of my games say they won't launch and I need to try again from the home menu!? It says for eshop games that I need to go to the eshop as I don't own these titles.

What the heck have I done?

I've replaced my SD card entirely and that doesn't work, I have reinstalled games but that doesn't work and I feel so daft for updating now. I'm due back in hospital next week for another few months so I really could do with some help so I can play my games again.

Thanks in advance.

6.1 firmware
Not ipatched (or whatever it's called - my switch is hackable)
Atmosphere 9.2 (tried kosmos and that launches but the games still don't work)
Hekate 5.2 (or 5.1 - can't remember)
Tegra GUI for inject payload
Homebrew seems to work

Also I'm baffled whether to use tinfoil, gold leaf, lithium, but, - it is all new to me - I used to use goldleaf with my games in tinfoil folder.

All games stored to SD.

You're missing the sigpatches: https://github.com/Joonie86/hekate/releases
Grab those and add them to your SD card files
Thank you very much - it worked. I thought I had ruined e efything.

Any reason why MK11 keeps getting corrupted? I can reinstall the nsp each time to avert this but it will again become corrupted at random points in the gameplay or cutscenes. Happens with red faction as well. everything else seems perfect.

That might have something to do with the game files themselves, if it only happens with those, and only during gameplay.

Regarding the installers, all of those work. If you're used to goldleaf, you can continue using it, since it looks like you're in a situation where you don't have a lot of time to rethink your setup.

Wish you all the best with whatever you're facing and hope that you're free from the hospital soon.

If you are on exFAT, switch over to FAT32 or you gonna run into corruption problem more often than FAT32 users.

Thank you both for the fast replies. And the kind words.

Questions a plenty ahead:

If I go to fat32 I'll lose everything on my card, right?

requiring a full reinstall of evertything due to reformatting the card?

I've tried 2 different sources of the mk11 files so can't be that, must be my card.

Maybe installing into system memory instead of SD?

Is that easy with an already installed game?

Won't bigger games not work due to fat32 4gb folder size limit?

Why are oranges orange?

Won't the universe just stop existing when I die?

If a tree falls down in a forest with nobody around - does it make a sound? (Yes it does nutters - it's physics!)


Thanks again guys.

Thanks again guys.

Copy files to a computer, format card via guiformat, copy files back. Gonna have to learn how to do USB install due to 4gb limitations on transferring directly to the system.
