Hacking Sigpatches for Atmosphere (Hekate, fss0, fusee & package3)

[JosebaBasque]

Hi, I just updated to version 20.3. 0, I log in and at first it said that the SD card was removed, now I've put everything right, all the games appear as if I had to download them again, it gives me error 2123-0011, and if I log in without Wi-Fi it tells me that I have to have Internet, does anyone know what it could be?

SSL error, you have incognito / prodinfo blanker/ cal0blanker on, without a patch to NIM (not nifm) to counter that.

go grab sys-patch 1.5.6 instead, that comes with ES, FS, Loader, NIFM, NIM turned on by default

I should have read this yesterday, I ended up formatting the SD card and re-downloading the games.
Likewise, thank you very much and I appreciate the time you spent writing to me and solving the problem. Thank you so much

Not this case. In case of missing NIM patch he should get atmo crash and reboot.

Hi, after the upgrade I noticed that **only** the archived apps are somewhat corrupted in my case (after few reboots, the archived app has no logo and the circle inside), all after installing sys-patch and latest sigpatches. In particular, when analysing them with DBI, I read the following error:

0x0000e05 2005-0007 Content meta not found

This for legit and unofficial softwares; If I try to launch them, I get 2123-0011 error (already removed all big N accounts from local users). Anyone can help me please? Already tried fix-archive-bit and installing hats packages too

Sigpatches aren't needed when using sys-patch. You can have both at once, but lately some users have reported issues doing that.

Honestly idk, I came from old version where I needed the sigpatches, I'll try to delete them, just to try

Sigpatches and SYS-Module are the same, one offline the second is applied on the fly at startup.

TODAY you only need one.

for people do not willing/able to read and follow instructions SYS-Patch is the best approach.

Okay, I think I've found a solution to my problem (the archived titles are corrupted after some reboots): I want to point out that I have both sys-patches and sigpatches, 20.3.0 with AMS 1.9.3, I leave my solution here if someone in future need an help. What I did is I temporarily disable the sys-patch via tesla overlay, reboot and then archive the app that I don't care about: in this way the connection error disappears, and I get the classic word "the software is not installed, download it".

If I keep the sys-patches off, though, some forwarders don't work anymore

ONLY UPDATE YOUR CONSOLE TO 2x.x.x IF ALL THE HOMEBREW YOU USE IS UPGRADED

Sometimes you need to upgrade your console, upgrade the firmware or upgrade Atmosphère, using the @l7777 's guide (https://gbatemp.net/threads/updating-hekate-atmosphere-and-hos.631739/) as base I hope to create a list of necessary steps to successful upgrade your console.

This guide uses Hekate, if you don't want to use Hekate skip the steps about it. You may loose some features.

Make a backup.​

Always make a full backup of your console, so if...​

Check this guide: https://gbatemp.net/threads/ultimate-guide-to-upgrade-your-firmware-atmosphere.661148/

Latest Atmosphere and firmware should be stable enough for average users. if you're using mods for games like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you might run into lack-of-memory issues due to the changes Nintendo introduced in 19.x.x and 20.x.x firmware revisions. If you're on firmware 18.1.0 or bellow, you'll have around 40 MB available for custom sys-modules and mods. On 19.x.x that got reduced to 24 MB. On 20.x.x it got severely reduced to only 14 MB so the Atmosphere developer had to make some adjustments and compromises which, sadly, might break an app or a mod or two. Other than that, there shouldn't be any technical issues.

Thanks, will give this a go over weekend.

Doing more tests, I found out that I have problems with:

noacidsigchk1
noncasigchk_old
nocntchk

turning them off from sys-patch in the tesla menu has fixed it finally, although for the new apps installed. For the old ones, the error occurs

18.1.0

the memory limitations start in 19.0.x, and get significantly worse in 20.x.x

For Atmosphere, I'd go with 1.8.0 as that's the latest version without memlet module. Not sure if the latest Atmosphere behaves any differently on firmware 19.x.x and lower, it doesn't hurt to test and see how it works as it should be backwards-compatible. For Hekate and sys-patch, you should be fine with the latest releases without any issues. Just download all of the files from the official repositories, I'd avoid those AIO packs unless you know what you're doing. As for the firmware, as bth said, 18.1.0 is the latest without those limitations.

 

[bagoesyasha]

thank you!

Sigpatches updated for 20.3.0,

And Upgraded to Atmosphère 1.9.3

SYS-Patch should work fine with this FW.

my Switch won't start any games after updating to 20.1.0
this works like a charm! thank you!

thank you @impeeza and @Blythe93!

PD: As soon as someone tells me where to find the modded fusee.bin file for using sigpatches under firmware 20.3.0, I'll update this message. In the meantime, I recommend booting with hekate, or even better, migrating from sigpatches to sys-patch.

Thank you so much for this

I recently updated CFW to 20.3.0 and atmosphere to 1.9.3 via HATS Pack, included sys-patch as of this post

But my games that previously ran won't run anymore saying the software was closed due to an error.
