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

[redshifter]

Hiya. I'm getting a "Failed to apply 'noldrchk'! error when trying to boot into emuMMC after updating my firmware to 20.5.0. I updated atmos to 1.9.5 and installed the new sigpatches available here and made sure that the latest sys-patch is 1.5.6. Help please?

As has been told SEVERAL times on the past posts

You can edit your Hekate_ipl.ini file and remove the line kip1patch=nosigchk

OR add the most recent patches.ini from sigpatches on the OP to the bootloader folder.


SERIOUSLY PLEASE READ THE THREAD BEFORE ASK AGAIN AND AGAIN THE SAME.

I swear I did! And I updated everything and then when that didn't work I removed the line "kip1patch=nosigchk" from "hekate_ipl.ini" and it still didn't work.

After comparing the most recent "patches.ini" and the older ones I had in my archive I noticed that there aren't any "noldrchk" lines in the most recent "patches.ini". I took a guess and got rid of "kip1patch=noldrchk" from the "hekate_ipl.ini" instead and it worked.

Is that okay or is it gonna break something?

no if you use SYS-Patch Sysmodule.

 

[redshifter]

no if you use SYS-Patch Sysmodule.

Okay, well then I don't know what to do. If I remove the "noldrchk" line from my hekate.ipl.ini, it works. If I take out the "nosigchk" line, it doesn't. What should I do then? Everything is updated and recent and removing the "nosigchk" line doesn't work. I keep getting the "Failed to apply 'noldrchk'! error.

Hello everyone. I'm asking for help, please.... I've tried to read up but I'm new to this world and I'm afraid I may have messed things up. I have a Switch with Atmosphere 1.9.5 and firmware 9.2.0. The games won't run because it asks for internet and I tried solve it installing sigpatches.

In this order I did the following:

• installed these sigpatches for 20.5.0 (https://gbatemp.net/threads/sigpatc...kate-fss0-fusee-package3.571543/post-10692213)
• installed sys-patch
• updated to firmware 18.1.0. It solves for some games, but not for others (e.g Donkey Kong C.R.).

I rebooted the console and nothing changed. Still an error and I can't start the games.

Can you help me? Did I mess things up with the sigpatches?

Sigpatches updated for 20.5.0,

And Upgraded to Atmosphère 1.9.5

SYS-Patch should work fine with this FW.

I've installed this update and noticed I get "Nodlrchk" What can I do about that?

EDIT- I followed what the guy above me did with deleting the "nodlrchk" from the ini file and it seems I'm not getting that error anymore so I guess its solved now?

Here it is!

you only need fusee.bin but if you like here is a full build of the most recent code of atmosphère with latest Homebrew Menu and HomebrewLoader.

Hi all
Any idea why most games ask me to update them? 20.5.0 + latest atmo + latest hekate + latest sigpatches from here. Anything I am missing? Thanks.

Starting from Atmosphere 1.7.0 ips kip patches are no longer officially supported (check the release notes here) which are usually used for piracy reasons. Therefore sigpatches won't work unless you:
1) Load Atmosphere's package3 via Hekate's FSS0 - You'll need to reboot to Hekate, go to Launch and select emuNAND CFW or sysNAND CFW (depending on which one you use). If you've downloaded the sigpatches from here. your bootloader/hekate_ipl.bin will already have everything you need to have configured.
2) Use modified Atmosphere's fusee.bin payload with ips kip patches support.
3) Use sys-patch instead of sigpatches.

I'd suggest going with the 3rd option, it's so much easier to use sys-patch nowadays because you don't have to update it every time minor firmware or Atmosphere revision is released.

Stop using prepackaged package and install everything by yourself, be sure your SYS-Patch is up to date and working fine.

Also remove the SYS-TWEAK sysmodule which as today do not work on FW20 and messes with the FS of the games.

Better if you follow the guide:

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...​

Here you have it

Will this work with Atmosphere 1.9.5 as well or do we need a new modified fusee every time we update?

Edit, found the new version here, thanks! Could this be linked on page 1 for others?
