I formatted my SD card and for some reason after doing that, I can't seem to get into the homebrew menu.
When Using atmosphere, I can't even boot my switch because I get an error saying "Fatal Error: inappropriate kernel embedded ini context"
I tried several versions of atmosphere but none of them would work. I saw someone had this same problem on Reddit but no one responded to him.

So I tried using Kosmos instead. I'm able to actually boot the switch but everytime I try to get into the homebrew menu, it just hangs on a white screen (Yes, I was holding down R). No buttons work and the only way to get out of it is to hit the home button. When I hit the home button and open the app again, it just boots into the album.

All that is on my SD card was/is a fresh atmosphere/Kosmos and a nintendo folder that was created after the SD format.

I'm out of ideas.

If that's true then that's why. You need a switch folder with your homebrew apps in it or else there's nothing for homebrew menu to boot. If there's no .nros, there's nothing for Homebrew menu to show.

You should also get the atmosphere patches.

Click to expand...
Both come with a switch folder included in the downloads. Kosmos has a bunch preinstalled apps while Atmosphere just has a return to app payload. Although I couldn't get atmosphere working due to the error I mentioned above.

    I've been to his chicken restaurant he started in his 2nd movie, Holy Chicken, was pretty good. It is only 15-20 miles from me in Ohio. It only lasted 1 yr or so then closed tho.
  • OctoAori20 @ OctoAori20:
    There are very few people I just have just an immense dislike of and he's one of those very few people, the only other example is Gene Simmons. My musician uncle on my mother's side of the family actually met Gene once during some event and said he was the most unpleasant person to be around.
