Hi everyone, i was finally able to migrate to atmosphere (it was harder then it should due a corrupted boot0 hahaha). But now that on atmopshere i was trying to update my emunand to 12.0 and use tinfoil and im geting two diferent error on both.

1) Daybreak.
I've downloaded the firmware from darthsternie and I always get this error when Im trying to install it via daybreak:

I've already tried diferent firmware and my sd was tested with h2testw before doing the atmosphere install. My atmosphere is installed as file and not hide partition, idk if that changes anything.

2) Whathever I try to install and launch tinfoil my atmosphere crashes, I already tried to delete the software and reinstall it with no sucess =(

I dont know if thats enough infos regading the problem but my atmosphere is on version 0.19.3, my emunand is on 10.2 and i have downlaod and included the signature patches via AIO updater, other homebrews like goldleaf and any games are working fine.

edit: Im using a mariko console with the sx os chip

ok....the other thing you could try is download the firmware from here and try it again if it still fails could be an SD card issue.

https://darthsternie.net/switch-firmwares/

Thats where I've downloaded before, tried both 11.0.0 and 12.0.0 with no success =(
Could be the sd card but i have tested it before doing anything.
Is there a way to test it again without formating?

Also were these done on a Mac...if so you could also do the following

running sudo chflags -R arch on all directories aside from the official Nintendo directory

Not I was just using a windows machine, I read a thread on this forum talking exactly about this so I changed.
Can I just update the emunand to the current firmware (12.0.3 i guess?) via the nintendo updater? I know its not the ideal solution but...

Yes as long as your switch isn't banned....to be honest I have 4 switches 1 legit and 3 hacked and the hacked ones I always set up from clean. but yes you could do it that way also.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Someone else with the same issue posted this

Fixed this by using the "Fix Archive Bit" on hekate (tools -> Arch bit * RCM -> Fix Archive Bit). Seems it's a sd card issue.

I will take a look on it, thanks for the heads up.
Due the icognito mode on atmos I would need to update my nand and not the emunand as far I have understand and i really want to avoid it until everything is working hehehe

if I were you.....if you dont want to run the risk backup all of your saves...format you SD card to fat32 and start again..

Then you won't need to use incognito you can use the hosts of latest AMS to block all NINTYs severs or you could use exosphere.ini on new atmosphere place it in the root of the SD card and it will block SN sending by default.

if you need a hand give me a shout.

Ok, I will try to format the sd card and run another test on the sd card before doing anything asnd post a ss with the results. I will probally need to reach you out after reinstalling everything to be honest, Im a moron on this things hahaha

I will be a 100% honest, I dont have a clue what I did diferent from before but after formating the sd card, rechek it with the h2testw again and redoing all the steps eveyrthing just worked fine. Thank you very much for the help! I got the switch on the 12.0.0 with daybreak and tilfoil decided it was a good time to work as well.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
