I think I did something wrong. after I update firmware for daybreak I got this error when rebooting should I click on delete?

SD card format?

 

[waveathon]

when prompted by daybreak I made it FAT32 + exfat

There is your problem, exFAT has higher chance of file corruption.

what do I do then? should I just click on delete? idm having it delete my games and have a Clean fresh SD. But what I'm worried is I might Brick it or remove important stuff in the SD for booting to atmosphere

Just backup all of your files on the SD card to your computer, format the SD card to FAT32, put the files back onto the card, and try booting Atmosphere again.

ok I was able to bypass the delete screen and I checked my firmware it is updated but everytime I click a game it gives me the error "this software is not currently on the console"

it gives me the error "this software is not currently on the console"

Did you change the location of the Nintendo folder i.e. the folder where the games are stored?
Do you have latest sigpatches / sys-patch?

thanks. Yeah i did but for some reason my old games are not working anymore but the delete prompt is gone now I might need to reinstall all of them again. I keep getting that error "this software is not currently on the console"

Hello everyone, I have a switch lite mariko chipped that has been giving me problems. I tried to downgrade using daybreak, and I accidentally didn't let the process finish. Now my switch lite turns on then reboots everytime with a error code. I'm able to access the switch menu, when I try to load something it just gives me the error code. I'm not able to use the micro sd card either because it says "update to use sd card". Any help will be appreciated, thank you

In hekate, under tools there is a button with something like "bit fix" ( sorry, but I don't have the switch right now ). It worked for me when I cloned the old SD into the new one.
Give it a try.

I would just restore the nand backup that you made right after installing the chip. Then everything will turn back to normal. Why did you want to downgrade?

Thanks for the reply, I'm not sure if I have the nand backup because I purchased the switch lite from a seller. I wanted to downgrade because I was having issues when I updated, but that was couple months back. The one problem is I can't access hekate because it asks me for a "system update" to use the micro sd card. When I try to update the system it reboots within a matter of seconds, so I can't do much.

Are you using exFAT or FAT32 as a file system on your SD card?

 

[Prior22]

A lot of the files I have are in NSZ format. Any disadvantage to using this format, as opposed to nsp?

No advantage on the Switch, but for storage on a hard disk, they compress better.

What about for emulation? Just curious if the file being compressed so much would have some sort of adverse effect.

With Yuzu and Ryujinx emulators, it must be a NSP, not NSZ, but you can use an app called SAK (Swiss Army Knife) to decompress them on pc to a NSP. Also some older installers on Switch will not install NSZ, only XCI or NSP, but most newer installers do NSZ.

Just out of curiosity is there any chance that the compression and uncompression of the file could lead to some sort of damage that makes the NSP file vulnerable to issues when played on ryujinx?

It's lossless compression. You can recreate the NSP exactly as it was before compression. You can read more about the tool here.

Hello everyone,
Recently have installed mod chip RP2040 in my switch lite but before I updated my OFW to 18.0.1
Now I'm trying to launch emummc but not successfully - unknown pkg1 version. HOS version not supported or emummc corrupt. Don't know what to do, I already tried to update Hekate and Atmosphere but I have latest versions.
Actions taken:
HATS pack installed
SD partition
emummc created
If anyone can help I would be very grateful!
