I was going fine and dandy on Atmosphere 1.2.1 and FW 13.x. Suddenly had the itch to update to latest. So I installed latest atmosphere and hekate and started getting emummc disabled. error So I formatted sdcard and created new emummc. And now it loads fine . But every game I try I get checking to see if software can be played. I read the sigpatches had to be updated but the github has been taken down. So I opened the last sigpatches.zip I had locally from march 2022. I extracted to my sd card even though the files seemed the same.

Same result

Then I found this IPS patch creator, I ran it, clicked make patch and pointed to my package3 file on the sd card and it did something. Put it back in my switch, same result.

I read somewhere that you need a key.dat file created but there was one already in the tools folder of the ips patch creator so i thought that would work.

    At one point PC game pads where poorly supported, loading a game had setup, it was complicated. Now it's almost as easy as a console.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'd like to see future tap to pair options like you hold it over a scanner and it just automatically pairs
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No need for additional cords buttons or anything
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Hmmm yeah that is possible BT has an address like an IP

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it could be hosted on the phone hmmm it's an idea Ken
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    But could be bad for people with lower speeds but how many mbs would it really need to detect a button press
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Nearly nothing
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
