Hey guys, I have a friends switch that was previously running SX OS and earlier in the year I made the conversion from SX to Atmosphere on his and my switch. Everything was working fine and has been working fine for me since then, however his switch recently stopped booting. After selecting emummc to boot, the Atmosphere blue/purple logo shows up, the almost instantly goes to a black screen and the system hangs up and will not boot.
I have tried everything from copying everything to a new SD card, deleting Atmosphere/contents folder and putting everything back on the SD from scratch related to Atmosphere and the same issues keep happening. I have verified his .ini file etc all match mine and what I use on my switch and I cannot get his emummc to boot.
I am getting close to formatting the SD card completely and starting completely from scratch however I am trying to save his emummc with any games and saves that he had. I believe his original SD card was on its way out as it was having extremely slow transfer speeds and I noticed an "automatic backup" folder inside of the atmosphere folder that just had all corrupt text for the names of the files and I was unable to delete any of these files or folder.
I am afraid if this happened to one folder, then something could be messed up in the emummc folder preventing the system from booting.
Does anyone have any suggestions or any other advice to try? I know these black screen issues seem to typically be fixed by updating sigpatches, deleting contents folder or reinstalling Atmosphere and none of these have worked for me (trying to use his old emummc) and I am afraid I will have to blow it all away and start completely from scratch. Looking for anything I might be able to do to salvage the existing emummc or data inside of it or will we just have to bite the bullet and start from scratch?
