As I'm new into this, I will describe all the steps I took already so you will have as much context as possible to support and I thank you in advance.

Switch was bought 3 years ago in China, but is an international version. It was patched and as SX Core lite firmware V1.3
The consol Type is Mariko
HOS is 10.2.0
Never as been updated, never has been online

My son would like to play the latest game and I need to update HOS. So decided to update to ATM.

It took me some times but I have downloaded the latest version of Hekate V6.0.5 and atmosphere-1.5.3-master-85c23b578+hbl-2.4.3+hbmenu-3.5.1.
I have setup SX Gear V1.1

I'm a embedded system developper by training so I understand what a config file or ini file is and how to edit them.

I followed this tutorials but because i-mnew I cannot share the links with you
I have regenerated and flashed my Boot0 without any change

My current status is as follow:

I can go back to SX OS I have a backup
I'm now booting on Hekate without any problem and for the moment I'm trying to chain boot to ATM.

If I try to run [Atmosphere] I end up with an error message stating after seeing the ATM splash screen for a fraction of second:
A fatal error occurred when running Fusee.
Package1 seems corrupt!

Press POWER to reboot


if I try to run [CFW - emuMMC] I end up with an error message in vertical mode stating:
Wrong pkg1 flashed:
Erista pkg1 on Mariko!

Trying backup bootloader...
Found pkg1 <' pG pG~'>.

Wrong pkg1 flashed:
Erista pkg1 on Mariko!

Failed to launch HOS!

Press any key...

I have now tried so many things that I do not know from which angle to take it and I would love to have new pair of eyes on this one.
I appreciate any advice.
Thank you



My question is very technical. If I missed any information to get some support let me know.

Thank you

    Just be careful, if trump ends up winning and using project 2025 America might really change...for the worse.
