Is your SD card formatted as exFAT? If you didn't install the exFAT version of 8.1.0 with ChoiDujourNX, your exFAT SD card will be unreadable.

You only have two options, as I said above:
  1. Use a different SD card that's formatted as FAT32 to use ChoiDujourNX again and reinstall 8.1.0 with exFAT support.
  2. Backup the contents of your SD card and reformat the SD card as FAT32.
ok theres progress but now after the switch logo it crashes to the atmosphere screen

Do the following:
  1. Make a NAND backup with Hekate if you haven't already. Store it somewhere safe.
  2. Remove all CFW files/folders from your SD card (that would be folders like /sept/ and /atmosphere/)
  3. Download the latest Atmosphere from GitHub (currently 0.9.3)
  4. Download the latest fusee-primary (next to Atmosphere)
  5. Download these signature patches
  6. Put Atmosphere and the signature patches onto your SD card
  7. Make sure your SD card is FAT32 with 32KB clusters
  8. Put the SD into your Switch
  9. Launch Atmosphere using fusee-primary

Most themes from 6.1.0 or so don't work on 8.0+ firmwares, there is a theme folder inside SD:/atmosphere/titles/ that contains the theme, I forgot the folder, but I think it was all zeros and ones, removing that should have worked for you, or was most likely your problem, too late to check though, right? it was in SD:/atmosphere/tiitles/0100000000001000

    Man I wish I had a second monitor

    On the first monitor MMO while in the second internet or other stuff

    How Fars your TV from your monitor just order a long hdmi cable
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    @K3Nv3, Not super far but it's in the opposite direction so I'd have to turn around everytime I want to look at the second screen
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Could you do some rearranging to make them closer to each other?
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Nope, my house is structured a bit weird so it can't get closer than this
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Cost isn't really the problem, I can just buy a random monitor or even just use an old tv, real problem is that my desk is too small
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    And buying another isn't an option rn so rip
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Why not a tab
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    *Tablet
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Buy monitor wall mounts, or a monitor stand that holds multiple monitors
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    @BigOnYa Can't wall mount the monitor since I don't have enough space and my current desk 99% wouldn't hold the weight. Even if I did replace the desk I still wouldn't have more space for another monitor :/ but maybe it could fit vertically

  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    @Skelletonike, Tried it with my iPad and it's decent but not as good as a proper monitor unfortunately, and Windows -> iOS connection kinda sucks, if I have to spend money for another tablet then I'd prefer to spend them for a proper monitor tbh
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Even if I can wall mount the monitor I wouldn't have enough space for the speakers (and they take like ~25% of the desk space lol)
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Buy a projector and shine it on the ceiling, lol
