Patreon has the extremely dumb system where if you pay "for a month", you do NOT pay for 30 days, but rather the end of the current month, which I find extremely unfair since if you pay on the 29th of a month, you only get 1 day, for the same price as a month if you bought it on the 1st.

Please use ANYTHING else than that site. If I pay for a month, I want to pay for a full month, and not for how long is left of the current month.

I think this was a really recent change? I know it's had a load of backlash from creators, so here's hoping it's reversed. It definitely used to work by you paying the same day you subscribed each month.

I suppose it is also worth saying the Patreon stuff isn't automatic. If you just paid for one month and told somebody your payment date, I see no reason why they wouldn't just leave you with the Patron status for a full month.

First idea: Subscribe on the 1st of a month.
Second idea: Contact the admin. shaunj66 stated that you can support the site by other means.

I didn't have the problem anyway. When I signed up at Patreon it was more a waiting game when they would finally charge my credit card and if I remember that correctly it was at the beginning of the next month while I got the Patron status on GBAtemp the same day I subscribed.

That thread doesn't state where else can I subscribe.

They won't respond.
The admins are rather busy people and they tend to take a minute to reply to messages. @shaunj66 tends to be pretty quick with handling most issues but he's currently not online. You may also be able to talk to a Super or someone of equal power, like @Chary (who has replied in this thread.) It seems like if there is an issue, then you can just contact the staff they can handle it.

    @Arne214, I think (non homebrew) roms arent posted here
  • Arne214 @ Arne214:
    ah ok
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Damn that case is huge, but is cool.
  • D @ dadadad:
    I was installing mods for games, but when I removed the romfs folder, an error occurred. Now when I try to launch the game, I see a yellow screen, and I have to reboot the switch. Reinstalling the game didn't help. Can you advise me on what to do to launch the game without mods?
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @dadadad delete sd:\atmosphere\contents
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should find out from the mod dev how to uninstall it. Every mod is different on how you install/uninstall.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @The Real Jdbye Wouldn't that take out bunch other stuff also?
  • D @ dadadad:
    Is it safe to delete the entire atmosphere folder? I don't remember what else was there, like edizon and tesla menu are installed through atmosphere, is it not a problem, will I not damage the system? There were too many mods, I won’t be able to contact each one, nothing was said about deleting in the description.

    The installation was only through rofms and in the game folder in content. What else can I do?
