So I updated my switch firmware to 13.0.0 and the latest Atmosphere, I then updated sigpatches via AIO Updater (after downloading the latest version of that also)now I cannot read my game cart.
However, none of my game carts are now booting up, instead I get the message:

"The game could not be read. Please remove and reinsert. If this message reappears repeatedly , it may mean the game card or console are malfunctioning"

I know I had to edit the Atmosphere Config BCT file before, but the bit that needed editing is already NOGC=0 , which is what I edited it to before.

Could someone help me please? I dont know what I am doing wrong

I downloaded my firmware on the computer, added the file to the SD card and then updated via Daybreak. Atmosphere I updated with AIO updater along with the sigpatches

How do you boot into Atmosphere?

BCT.ini is dead since AMS 1.0.0 (changelog : Please Note: BCT.ini no longer exists, nogc configuration has been moved to /atmosphere/config/stratosphere.ini.). So you have to copy stratosphere.ini from atmosphere\config_templates\ to atmosphere\config\ then edit the file and put :


And if you're using Hekate to boot AMS, you also need to edit bootloader\hekate_ipl.ini and change the 7th line (autonogc) like this :

autonogc=0
