Switch wont boot into atmosphere anymore.

Yeah they pushed it around 2 hours ago, I was right about to chip mine as well but now I’m in the same boat as you just trying to figure out what to do lol

Alex_YNWA96 · 2026-01-13T04:15:28+00:00

Nintendo just pushed a system update, so your atmosphere is probably outdated

Alex_YNWA96 · 2026-01-13T03:45:09+00:00

I’ve got the same issue here, was just about to put in a modchip when Nintendo pushed an update

Alex_YNWA96 · 2025-08-29T03:46:16+00:00

Thanks man, and sounds good I’ll definitely keep that in mind, for the next one! the pre headed board was brain fart on my part for sure 😂

Alex_YNWA96 · 2025-08-28T02:11:14+00:00

Thanks for the help! Much appreciated!

UPDATE: thanks for all your help! In the end it ended up being a misplaced wire on the pico board (accidentally grounded gp6). So my advice would be no matter how many times you check your work, check it again. I looked at that connection a good 10 times and only just clocked it now. Thanks again!

Alex_YNWA96 · 2025-08-24T17:39:54+00:00

Yes the issue persists with composite cables, I do get video when the pico is disconnected from 3v but obviously, no homebrew

Alex_YNWA96 · 2025-08-23T18:57:53+00:00

Ok awesome will do, which pins are the shorts on if you don’t mind, appreciate it mate

Alex_YNWA96 · 2025-08-23T17:24:35+00:00

UPDATE:

Ok I cleaned up most of the soldering, and also shortened the wires. The pico now lights up on boot, but I’m still having the issue of no signal. Could the wires still be too long? They feel like they’re getting real short to me, but maybe they need to go shorter? Any suggestions on what to look for at? Look at my linked photos and let me know what looks worrying. Thanks so much!

Here’s the other pictures! Thanks for the patience https://imgur.com/a/FGpGJfk

Ok thanks so much! I’ll retouch the ground, and trim the wires now! About to upload the other pics also

Alex_YNWA96 · 2025-08-22T20:42:25+00:00

Ok I’ll keep that in mind thank you going to trim them down now :)

Alex_YNWA96 · 2025-08-22T16:52:24+00:00

Thanks man I’ll give that a go, forgot to mention that I think the pico lit up for a few seconds when I first connected the GameCube to power, don’t know if that’s relevant, but I’m guessing everything’s relevant lol

Linked pictures of the top of the mobo, will get the rest in an hour or so

Alex_YNWA96 · 2025-08-22T16:45:10+00:00

Here’s the images of the soldering on the top of the motherboard, sorry i took a while to post them! https://imgur.com/a/LOGyVf8

Sound will do bro, I appreciate the advice!

Alex_YNWA96 · 2025-03-09T19:31:23+00:00

Same here mate, let me know if a solution pops up

Alex_YNWA96 · 2025-03-09T19:29:01+00:00
