I can boot OFW normally. It is not on the latest firmware. Probably around 13.something. I have an old switch.

I can't boot emunand, it gets stuck on the nintendo switch logo screen.



I recently updated everything by following a video from a youtube channel called "Cibe" with the title "How To Update Switch To Atmosphere CFW 17.0.0+", in case anyone wants to know the source. Downloaded atmosphere 1.6.2, hekate 6.1.0 and sigpatches from all the github links. I use rekado on my phone to inject the payload, always worked before (before anyone asks, my pc doesn't recognize my switch. I've tried fixing, but it has been like this for years and I never figured out why). I've made a backup of old atmosphere and bootloader folders, deleted everything that would be substituted and then added the up to date files.

I can boot hekate normally. I do not use any themes. Both sysnand and emunand are still on an older version prior to 17.1.0. I do not remember if I set up dnsmitm or not, but doesn't seem to be playing a part on this, since the switch is not up to date yet. It would be nice to have a tutorial on how to fix this for after I update and fix everything, if possible.



I've watched every single video I could, read plenty of gbatemp and reddit posts. I did plenty of tinkering. I'm out of ideas. I know this can be solved, but I can't find and answer. Help me, gbatemp, you're my only hope.

I am not sure that I understand exactly what you did to update Atmosphere. Did you remove the entire Atmosphere folder or just the files that would get updated? Make sure the Atmosphere\content folder is empty and try booting cfw again.
Did you update the payload you use with Rekado?

Deleted atmosphere and bootloader folder. Copy and paste the new ones to the root of the SD.
I did update rekado. It updated hekate to 6.1.0 and fusee to 1.6.2.

    because i didn't say i was asleep

    i said i was sleeping...

    sleeping with uremum
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Even my mum slept on that uremum
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
