Hi! For starters, I'd like to mention that this was a broken Switch bought on eBay. It had a bluescreen and was previously opened. Not a good sign. I was able to get into RCM mode and into Hekate, but it won't recognize the files on my SD card.
I tried using the SD reader in my personal Switch and it works, no problem. The contacts on the motherboard were broken, so I fixed them all up, added a jumper wire and checked all the contacts for continuity:
All good. Started up Hekate again, but the screen is black. If I don't insert the SD, I can get back to the barebones Hekate menu, without touch etc. If I pop the SD back in then, it gets recognized in Hekate and shows the Size etc. correctly:
I'm pretty sure that I'm using the correct files on my SD card, because I used the sdsetup generator for it... The SD is formatted as FAT32.
Also, the CTCaer logo is glitchy:
Hmmm, I just saw there is a newer version available (I started this project a while ago) and now the logo is completely gone (Hekate CTCaer 5.1.2)
Thanks for your time.
