I was given a modded switch by a friend. I want to play pokemon legends arceus but because the version of the firmware and atmosphere is too old so I followed the guide in this subthread to update to higher version. After overwritten all of hekate, atmosphere, signspatch files over the old version in sdcard, I can boot into Hekate but when I run atmosphere, I get an fatal error. So what can I do to fix this error? In case it can't be fixed, do I have to reinstall everything from scratch and how to copy games installed on the sdcard to pc so i can get them back after clean install everything? Thank you.

your description sounds to me like you have just copied the new hekate and atmosphere over the old one.
bad move, backup the old dir's and extract the zips fresh
especially since you have not told us the old atmosphere version, there were major changes at some version jumps

agreed!

a clean start is always best.

You can move /atmosphere to /atmosphere.bk and then unzip the .zip to create a new clean /atmosphere dir. this way you can copy things one at a time to your new working directory to make sure they don’t interfere. Sysmodules in /atmosphere/content/* can definitely cause boot issues. So can IPs files.

Another culprit is not updating your hekate_ipl.ini file. Fusee-secondary is deprecated, for example.

Read the Atmosphere and Hekate release notes when upgrading!

Probably all you need to do is edit hekate_ipl.ini and change fusee-primary.bin to point to the new fusee.bin instead or change fusee-secondary.bin to point to the new package3 (no .bin) depending on what your existing setup is.
If the config is already set up like that then you need to delete the SD:\atmosphere\contents folder as it probably contains files for an older firmware that are interfering.

I followed your instructions and delete contents folder as well as edit hekate_ipl.ini. After that I still receive the error when booting into atmosphere but I tried to fixing Archive bit then everything work like normal. Thank you so much.

    I wonder if that was the point of game streaming
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    But it's a dead end
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Psionic Roshambo, people who cant download it can still play the game
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    If your internet speeds are fast enough. Streaming 4k takes alot. I used to only have 20mb sec, and 4k struggled. Now I have 300mb sec and 4k plays fine.

    Did you feed the hamster in your internet router? It prob died and is running slow now.

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics

    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

    Not to mention this would be a massive pain to pirate

    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
