So I went to boot up today and I kept getting this screen. I've had this switch on cfw for a very long time and never took measures to avoid getting banned, I'm fairly sure the switch was banned so I'm not sure how it could have gotten the newest update.

anyways, I did the usual update my files thing, ive done it many times. Still, the issue was the same. I then tried a brand new SD card and did a fresh install of everything, no change.

I've also tried to select payloads and use fuse, I get the ol' "a fatal error has occured" message similar to what happens when the switch is updated but the cfw is not.

Hekate v6.1.0 menu, all of the launch options produce the unknown pkg1 version error.

Edit: upon further research I found it is possible to get fw updates on a banned swtich, im guessing this is my issue? ironic as it may sound, this is a relief form me, seeing that it takes away the likely unknown.

v1 unpatched device? AutoRCM on?
yes, yes. im guessing im going to need to find my jig if im going the route i believe you are guiding me lol?
Post automatically merged:

Just a FYI: Even if you are console banned, you can still update FW, and it will auto update if that setting is enabled in settings.
right as you posted, I discovered the thread talking about that. i dont have auto on, but its very possible my kid would have hit update. my guess is im at the mercy of Atmosphere updating.

Yes, find your jig before turn off AutoRCM, then reboot to OFW.
You are pretty much on 18.0 OFW for sure.
If you dont have emummc on older FW like 17.0.1 or lower, not much you can do at this point.
other than wait for atmosphere/hekate update, right?

    That Dell data breach is worse than people probably realize....

    I personally handled a call from the second highest person at Raytheon. That call bothered me a lot... The guy was nice and smart what bothered me was the way management basically just blew him off instead of going the extra mile to help him.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    In the end that call ended up costing Dell millions in lost contracts with Raytheon, and really the issue could have been solved for like 450 bucks lol

    I always thought that capcom shuffled the games in these collection, but apparently they are all in chronological order, which makes legacy collection 2 worthless
