I just updated my switch CFW to the latest stable version of atmosphere and to firmware version 16.1.0 and in doing so, I messed something up. Whenever I hit launch and select my emuMMC CFW boot option I get this error:
1697939831042.png

However, if I manually select the payload from the payloads button it loads atmosphere just fine. I am trying to fix this but I just don't understand exactly how editing the "hekate_ipl.ini" file works.
[CFW - emuMMC] fss0=atmosphere/package3 kip1patch=nosigchk emummcforce=1 atmosphere=1 icon=bootloader/res/icon_payload.bmp
This is my current boot shortcut in the ini and I don't know what to do to update and fix this.

Any help lol?

resolved

Can you still load up Hekate? I believe you can go into Hekate Tools and you have to Restore eMMC. But I’m not 100% sure. Maybe somebody has a better solution.

But yeah something looks off on your ini file. I can take a look tomorrow when I’m at my PC
I did find the restore thing, but there are a bunch of different options and I don't know which one to select as it seems like you could easily mess something up here.
There's eMMC boot 0 & boot1 restore, raw gpp and eMMC all. Not sure which one I'm supposed to select, I think it's really just an ini issue as the manual payload works and it SEEMS to boot into the emmc but I really don't want to end up using the sysnand and getting banned.

Yeah just wait. I’m sure to it’s your ini. Don’t you have a backup of your ini file before you updated? Look at that and compare.

I'm pretty sure the ini didn't change at all and that's the issue.

Hey, no worries. I solved the issue. I was just being stupid and forgot to update Hekate. I haven't touched my Switch since like March since the joycons were beyond broken and my parents wouldn't let me ship them out to get repaired up until recently, I forgot nearly everything. Thanks.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I think you only get like 425gb on a series s hard drive, so you get 1, 2 next gen games max
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, so you need to have another series s if you wanna play more games?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Nuh you buy extra HD n add to it, but not cheap
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, how can a console have more than 1 hard drives?
  • MysticStarlight @ MysticStarlight:
    usb expansion? I know the PS4 can do this
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @MysticStarlight, oh Yea I recall my PS3 can do that
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Modded ofc
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Speaking of my PS3 i havent downloaded any games yet bc my wifi is too slow
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    and also because blackouts here are very common and that could damage the console
  • MysticStarlight @ MysticStarlight:
    Do you have a surge protector or an UPS?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea but to play the next gen games, you must have those games on internal, or buy the official ssd expansion cards, which are expensive
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @MysticStarlight, dunno what each one of those are
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @MysticStarlight, my PS3 was already modded when my dad bought it for me and my brother
  • MysticStarlight @ MysticStarlight:
    A surge protector is a device that protects your electronics from fluctuations. I recommend having your console plugged into one of those
  • MysticStarlight @ MysticStarlight:
    An UPS is even better because it has an internal battery that keeps your system on even if the power goes out, but it's much more expensive obviously
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @MysticStarlight, oh i recall seeing one in some in the houses of some relatives, including my dad's apartment
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @MysticStarlight, although whatever device we plug into them stops getting power anyways lol
  • MysticStarlight @ MysticStarlight:
    that's weird
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @MysticStarlight, and oh i was talking about ups
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Yea I got confused for a bit

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    On the series s/x you can use a external HD but any next gen games must be on your internal ssd, or you can buy a ssd expansion card, but pricey. Any xbone, 360, or og Xbox games can be played from external tho.
