Hacking Since updating to FW 11.01 on Atmos 0.16.2 physical games wont read anymore

[DrHouse1337]

First time having an issue with updating my Switch which was on a really old CFW/FW and now my physical games wont read anymore and now give me an "read error" I cant find any info on how to fix this.

You need to allow updates to your game cartridge reader.

This problem is usually fixed by going to atmosphere/config, opening BCT.ini and adding nogc = 0 on the [stratosphere] section.

Thanks for the reply! but sorry for sounding like a noob but how do I enable this? Because this is the first time reading about this since owning a Switch for 6 months now.

Can I just go into my FTP program and edit the file or will I need to insert my micro-SD into my PC?

Yes, you can. Remember to reset your console in order for the changes to apply. If you can turn it off completely and then injecting the payload to boot into Atmos (instead of just reseting) would be better, but just restating should work as well.

Follow the above instructions to enable updates to the GC reader. You should be able to FTP the BCT.ini file, but you'll have to reboot the Switch after.

Same issue here, nogc = 0 doesn't work.

You should be playing your carts in legit OFW sysNAND, unless you are using Caffeine, then that's not really an option.

Are you loading via Hekate?

 

[ELY_M]

you need to add a flag in hekate_ipl.ini

autonogc=0 in config section.

 

[Marcox94]

Same problem, may I know how did you solve it? Because I entered autonogc = 0 in the config section at the end, but it doesn't change anything ...

Did you guys get this sorted?

I've tried:

adding 'nogc = 0' to Atmosphere config BCT.ini
adding 'autonogc=0' to hekate_ipl.ini
disabling AutonoGC in Hetake
disabling AutoRCM
disabling Update Reboot2Payload in Hetake

still no dice
