I done a downgrade on my Switch from 11.0.0 to 10.0.2 with nand backup, and now Atmosphere crashes when I put a game cartridge, is there a way to fix it without updating the switch again?

This is unavoidable, because you burnt 11.0.0 gamecard controller fuses.

You can never use gamecards on < 11.0.0 again.

11.0.0 updated the gamecart controller firmware (burning fuses in it).

You have to set nogc = 0 (or choose to burn your fuses to 11.x) to use gamecards, correspondingly.

The protection is there because once you run 11.x gc firm, you can never use gc on lower firmware.

Sig patches are working but barely but you don't have to wait for Michael for that they are third party he doesn't build atmosphere around those because he doesn't support piracy.

Atmosphere works fine with a few issues here and there.

What do you mean "but barely"? What doesn't work? I have no issues. Games with online options crash if wifi is turned on (but this was the case for me on the last releases as well, and I'm not even upgraded to 11 yet). Turning on airplane mode allows those games to run just fine. I haven't verified yet, but nx-ovlloader might have been causing crashes when trying to load skyrim with mods (whereas there was no crash under SX), but that also might be one of the overlays I was using that causes the crash.

The mods work fine. I just had to remove stuff out of the contents folder. I'm almost positive that the issue is either with ovlloader, or one of the overlays I had running, like sys-clk or something (I gave up on themes, so there was none installed. Themes don't react well to firmware upgrades at all, and are the cause of most "black screen" boot attempts after an upgrade)...
