[@mcballesteros9389]

I have the same error. Haven’t try this tutorial yet im on version 16.0.0 fw. And atmos 1.5.0 did you have the same FW as mine?

[@max1iq795]

@@mcballesteros9389 I updated to 14.1.0 to play persona 5, and the lastest stable release of atmosphere which is 1.4.1. After following this tutorial it fixed itself and removed the theme.

[@reallyytired]

@@mcballesteros9389 have you found a fix yet, this error is stopping me from opening any roms
