If I had to take a guess, your gamecard firmware wasn't updated alongside your regular firmware. Atmosphere also triggered NoGC to prevent the gamecard slot from being updated, as you can't downgrade it.

Go into Hekate's options and turn off NoGC. Or just boot into OFW. Either will burn the eFuses and set the gamecard firmware to the latest one. But note you will never be able to use game cards on older firmwares.

If you go to OFW, it'll do it automatically on boot. And if you turn NoGC off, you'll only be able to use game cards on your current firmware, or any later updates released.

It should work... This may be a bit of a stretch, but is there a folder in /atmosphere/kip_patches called "default_nogc"? If so, cut that, and paste it to whatever other directory you want, as long as you remember where it is. Then trying booting into Atmosphere again.
