# Everything is really bad and my console doesn't boot
## A definitive guide to solve one error I had... 
----

### What actually happened?
So, once I decided to to watch some YouTube and my console just showed an Atmosphere error and just stopped booting at all. 

> The console was just showing an Atmosphere logo, then NS logo and then nothing. Just nothing. Joy-cons connected though, that was a relief.

## How to fix it?

**Bad news: You have to nuke your SD card**

***Good news: It's fixable***

This may **not** work for you since I have an Erista (unpatched v1). There are some tools which only work on Eristas. Plus, no one (to my knowledge) haven't tested MY guide on Mariko. If you did, contact @burandby. I'm also sitting on Nintendo Homebrew server, you can contact me there. 

 



Wowzers, an actual part of the guide
<br/>
<br/>
So to do this what I did is used Haku33 to get a full wipe of my console (since the seller used SysMMC to ![pirate flag (totally not related to piracy)](https://i.imgur.com/DgZ8EZF.png)). After that I installed fresh atmosphere using [Nintendo Homebrew's Guide](https://nh-server.github.io/switch-guide/)
 
 
 ***I don't want to read this long guide!***

 Welp
 1. This guide is short and easy
 2. You won't brick your console?????
 3. Your system won't get outdated the second you install my package????

 [***Meh, fine use this file. Just take some time of your day later and make it yourself, cause this file will get outdated the second I'll probably publish it***](https://burandby.github.io/atmopack.zip) 
 
**If you have issues after using my package, it's provided as-is. Told ya it's probably outdated**

> My console horibbly lagged after installing it the first time, so I've reset it again. After that I've never experienced the lag.
