I'm trying to set up SX OS for the first time, my Switch is unpatched and on 7.0.1, I loaded the SX bootloader with the jig and sx dongle, created emunand, activated the license through their website, and now when I try to boot to CFW or OFW through the bootloader I get black screen and have to hold down power to force my Switch off. It still boots up normally without the bootloader dongle, so I'm not bricked...The only issue I've noticed that I think may be causing my problem is that when I boot to sysnand it recognizes my SD card and even writes the Nintendo folder to it, but if I try to format my SD card in the system settings it says a system update is required to use a SDXC card. My SD card is 128 GB formatted in FAT32 with 32k clusters.

Edit: Before someone says use Atmosphere instead, I'm planning to use both :P I know Atmosphere has more features and is free, but I also want to use XCI files and the convenience of the SX dongle.

I'm using whichever is the latest stable version, not the beta. I'll try the beta

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Now it's saying emunand is disabled and won't let me enable it even though it's on my SD card - do I have to make it again with the new boot.dat?

Edit2: I figured it out - I forgot to copy license.dat back to my SD card after formating again, I only had emunand on there and boot.dat :glare:

Thanks for your help! :D
