System Firmware Version

9.1.0 EmuMMC 11.0.1 System

Environment?

• Latest Hekate with chained Fusee Payload

• Latest Regular Hekate

• Direct fusee payload (Tried all, resulted in same crash)

• Do you have additional kips or sysmodules you're loading: No

• Homebrew software installed: None

Set nogc = 0 in BCT.ini.

[TheRadziu]

It didnt fix the issue, just changed the program id where it crashes. Weirdly enough, the fix was to eject gamecard.

[SciresM]

Oh, sure.

If you have ever played a gamecard on >= 11.0.0, you can never ever use gamecards on < 11.0.0. This is a hardware limitation.

[TheRadziu]

sorry to reply so much but the issue was quite new to me, I was aware of this limitation but last time I used atmosphere (few months ago) it only couldnt run the gamecart but i did not crash whole system.

[SciresM]

When booting emummc on firmware < 11.0.0, you probably want nogc = 1.

This will prevent system crash on gamecard inserted.

This caught me too. Have been running the latest fw and playing cartridges normally for months and after a long time booted emummc and was crashing.

Booting with no cartridge and upgrading the fw fixed the problem but I wish the fatal screen had told me what the problem was in a more human readable way

Is there a plan for simpler messages?
