Hacking Question Can't use cartridges with AMS but they work on sxos

[M8ruxan]

My issue is that I can't use cartridges with atmosphere but I'm able to use them in sxos, I'm still using 11.0.0, That's the only thing holding me from fully changing to atmosphere. Any solutions?

Disable nogc in hekate if your using hekate. Also check BCT.ini and set: nogc = 0
This is set to keep your game cart firmware from updating

if you used a cartridge on sx os v11.0 your card reader firmware should have updated, just boot into atmosphere and it should load the game cartridges fine.

If you havent touched nogc option it should be on auto, it s blocked when there is a firmware missmatch, if gamecart and console firmware are the same it should load.

How do you boot into Atmosphere? Do you use Hekate or fusee?

It is already set to 0

Boot without game cartridge in slot, then once running AMS/ Stock, insert the game cartridge....

How do you boot into Atmosphere? Do you use Hekate or fusee?

I use hekate's payload launcher, not sure how to reply to this, I hope it is enough information.

Yes and make sure the " ; " is deleted in front of lines you want to make active
Example:
; To force-disable nogc, add nogc = 0 - NON ACTIVE
To force-disable nogc, add nogc = 0 - ACTIVE

Do you chainload into fusee_primary or do you launch directly into Atmosphere via fss0?

I chainload with fusee_primary, could you explain me how to launch directly with fss0? I would like to know

Go to SDSetup.com and download Atmosphere/Hekate plus whatever else you want.

Ok so the cartridges are working in the console when I boot into OFW, but I can't play with them since I didn't downloaded the updates for them officially, the problem seems to be with atmosphere, I've tried deleting it and reinstalling it but nothing does the job.

Are you still chainloading or booting directly into Atmosphere via Hekate/fss0?

I was able to fix it, I got MHR in physical and the game included an update, so I installed, then I don't really know how or why, but the auto RCM of my console got disabled, when I booted AMS again using fusee-primary the cartridge slot was working and now I'm able to play the game. Thanks a lot, you guys also helped me understand what was happening.

@M8ruxan if you update your firmware it also overwrites boot0/1 partition which undoes autorcm which you need to reapply

Glad you got it fixed. I don't use cartridges, but the information the people provided here would be of great help in the near future when I decide to use my cartridges.

Firmware updates not only update your firmware but BOOT0/BOOT1 because those are firmware-dependent. BOOT0 is also where AutoRCM is installed to so if BOOT0 is updated, then AutoRCM will be removed.
