Does booting ofw work? Iirc the purple screen of death is a hardware problem.

booting official firmware works fine
would be good to mention that i rock official firmware 3.0 and dont use emunand i just set it up. ... maybe 3.0 is the issue ? but it seems that i cant download any boot.dat files cuz the website is down now

I dont know if this is still an issue, but themes used to cause problems.

I don't know what you're upgrading from/to, but did you have SX AutoLoader installed? That could also be an issue sometimes when upgrading.

MAYBE the new sxos is just not compatible with my low firmware switch?

 

[jrl_1644]

what version did you have before the update. I do have some older versions archived.

If Atmosphere sucks, go back to SXOS and wait for support.

I think you missed the sarcasm altogether.

There is barely anything to maintain. You have to update it as often as SX OS. Plus I've personally never experienced any freezing on Atmosphere. Its possible that if your SD card is exFAT, it can cause issues.
