How to fix ‘A fatal error occurred when running Fusee’
These few hacks will help you fix this error:
#1. Check your SD card
Check your SD card, ensure it is formatted in the correct file format. Different emulators support different formats, but you are generally safe to go with FAT32 or NFTS. Also check if your SD card is corrupt, as it can cause this error. Test your SD card with another device after formatting it to ensure it has not been compromised.
#2. Update Atmosphere and Hekate
Another option is to ensure that Atmosphere and Hekate are updated with the latest stable builds to ensure they’re compatible with the latest Switch firmware. Regularly update fusee.bin, and updated configuration files will be required if you changed software versions.
In addition, ensure that all files required for the programs to function after the update are on your Switch’s storage drive (or SD card). The update usually removes the configuration files required for the emulator to function.
