Hello, I started having this weird issue the other day, weeks after I hacked the switch for the first time:

I use hekate 6.1.1 and atmosphere 1.7.0, and have an emummc partition on my microsd card. The issue I have is, sometimes when I press the home or power buttons, instead of registering a normal press, the system acts as if I held it (when I don't), and either opens the side bar (for the home button) or opens the power menu and then shuts down (for the power button). This happens for the home button in the joycon, the home button in the pro controller when wirelessly connected, and the power button in the switch itself. It happens about once every six or seven presses. It doesn't seem to happen for any other button (A, B, X, Y, directionals, shoulder buttons, all seem to work fine). When I boot to a non hacked sysmmc, the problem doens't happen at all.

Has anybody seen a problem like this and have any idea what it could be? It's kind of annoying particularly when it shuts my system down and I have to go find my jig and reload the payload from my phone.

Hey, same here, but no idea, I feel like it appeared since I change my sd Card for one with more storage, but not sure about that
Do you have some weird freeze too? Like if you go to the switch home menu, and go back to the game, it freezes? You can still hold the home menu, or power button, but can't go back to the switch menu and close the app, which is annoying

Don't remember any weird freezes, but I do have a 1tb microsd. The problem stopped happening when I removed tesla overlay from my system, so I decided I can live without it and haven't had it happen since.

I don't think I have tesla overlay on my switch, so if I do and that's the issue, won't be a problem for me to uninstall it :)
Thank you
