Did you make sure to move your [ips] file, if playing on Switch Hardware?
I did..
Are you playing on Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl?
BD
It looks to me that you have downloaded the SP version of the mod.
You need the BD version for BD
Oh jeez you are totally right. Could’ve sworn I downloaded the right version. Apologies and thanks!
hi there im having this problem but i did download bd, unzipped with 7zip, redownloaded 3 times, deleted and moved the files back in 3 times, made sure the ips was in the right spot, followed all the guidelines, and nurse joy still says this idk what to do :(
im on official hardware and ive checked over everything i possibly can
Is the game 1.3.0? (Check from the + window on the home menu.) Are you sure you've been downloading the version to match your game? BD for BD, SP for SP?
yes i have the correct version (1.3.0) and the mod says BD in the file name and im playing bd
i also have no other mods installed
Can you send us screenshots of your exefs and Luminescent folders to verify?
It looks fine to me. Please just do me the favour of pressing + or - on Brilliant Diamond on your Switch home screen and send a screenshot of that screen.
Thank you. I am very unsure why this bug would occur for you under these circumstances.
Going bonkers bc I've been doing this for 2 days haha
This happens to me frequently idk wsp with that
Other mods work as well such as mythics Arceus and ctgp deluxe
What language are you playing in?
English
Could you send some screenshots of the error message you are getting?
Is that in the Sandgem Town Pokemon Center?
Yes
Do you have any cheats or anything?
I'm stumped, honestly. I can't see a good reason for this to not be working.
Ik it's kinda silly tbh I knew I went thru pretty much everything
The only thing I can think of is to reinstall bd
All I can really recommend at this point is reinstalling Brilliant Diamond and creating a new save file yeah.
i shall return with an update
Ill just pause for now and see what I can do tmrw
I'm gonna try installing the sp version and see if anything changes
unfortunately its the exact same problem with pearl this is so strange
Did you adapt the installation? Different folder names, different download, etc
yes i did
i downloaded the sp version and added the other folder name from the readme as well as moved the new ips
What version of atmosphere do you have?
1.9.5
i also uninstalled the bd mod before installing sp
so no merges or anything like that
Mh, I have no idea either, everything seems correct
You are launching from emunand, right?
yep
I dont know if this is really relevant, but there is a little troubleshooting step in the installagion page:
If you have followed all of these instructions and the game still doesn't boot, please use a homebrew file reader such as NX-Shell and navigate to atmosphere/contents/0100000011D90000 and check that romfs and exefs (and the folders within) are displaying as folders as intended.
If they are instead displaying as files please make your own exefs and romfs in the appropriate spot and place the contents inside yourself. Check again in NX-Shell that everything is displaying as folders now.
You may also need to redownload the mod entirely in case of a corruption.
yeah ive done that sadly :(
that last part was my last resort and ive done it a couple times
Do you have any software or application on your Switch that could be interfering with it?
i cant think of anything that would
Maybe your SD card or the specific file has some permission set that doesnt allow it to be read?
i should definitely check that actually
It says the permissions here, but I can't see for the .ips file which is the main problem
It should say 666 if it can be read and written
That's my last idea, that even if everything is correct, your Switch can't read the file
yep
I assume it has to be something with your custom firmware then
thats my only guess at this point too
idk what it would be bc i have no problems otherwise
Have you ever tried to mod a different game that also uses .ips patches?
This is a long shot but try Fix Archive Bit in Hekate.
i did in fact try that before coming here
Ah okay
yeah ive got quite the rubix cube here
I have no idea what the issue could be lol
Im reading some old forum posts about it, and it might be related to the config file
Not sure why that would have changed because mods should be enabled by defualt, but check the config folder and see if anything is disabled
which config folder, in the modpack?
Atmosphere
theres only one folder, sys-clk, then inside is config.ini.template
not even a config.ini
so i wonder if theres supposed to be something i have no idea lol
There should be a config_templates and config folder
I was just reading a post from 2022 about people not being able to load mods in Atmosphere, and actually BDSP specifically
But the information might be too old
okay i think i actually figured it out
so there are 2 exefs_patches folders for some reason, if the ips is in the first one i get that error. if its only in the second one the game restarts to the intro after pressing a on the title screen. i put it in both and now i can talk to nurse joy
Two folders? Where you using one that is not in atmosphere/exefs_patches?
Your previous screenshoot didnt show the containing folder
theres another atmosphere folder inside the first one where some mod files are
Oh, weird
so theres atmosphere/exef_patches and then theres atmosphere/atmosphere/exef_patches and the ips has to be in both for some reason
Where are the mod files? atmosphere/contents or atmosphere/atmosphere contents
atmosphere/contents
So somewhere in your config the atmosphere path was changed and it's reading from a different folder
Very weird but good to know in case it ever happens again to someone else
Glad you solved it!
