Troubleshooting¶
My Switch crashes on boot after I installed sys-con!:¶
Cause: While it's almost impossible for this to happen, if your Switch crashes with Error code 2162-0002 (0x4a2)
and Title ID 690000000000000D
, you're using a version of sys-con that's incompatible with your Switch firmware version. The expected firmware version is mentioned on each release page of a sys-con release.
- Note: sys-con hasn't needed an update for years as of the moment of writing this. If it does need an update, an updated release will be mentioned here.
sys-con isn't working!:¶
Assuming you've followed the installation instructions successfully, this is probably due to the archive bit being set on one or more folders/files on your microSD card. This is usually the result of copying files to a microSD card via a Mac. If you are experiencing this issue, try running the archive bit fixer utility via Hekate for all files.
This can be done by booting into Hekate and going to Tools
> Arch bit • RCM Touch • Pkg1/2
> Fix Archive Bit
