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

[bth]

im just wondering if the sys patch work without overlay?

the overlay has nothing to do with sys-patch, all it does is read the /config/sys-patch/log.ini and /config/sys-patch/config.ini

the overlay is a cosmetic, optional thing which serves no purpose in sys-patch doing its job. (and requires nx-ovlloader/tesla-menu to exist)

Sys-patch 1.6.1 is just fine and working. What's the error say?

Nothing much as seen in the video.

My specs right now are:
hekate v6.5.2
Atmosphère 1.11.1
Firmware v22.1.0
Beta Sigpatches 21.2.0 (from the first post)
Sys-patch v1.6.1
Game 1.04

Latest sigpatches can be found here. In order to actually use them, you either need a modified fusee.bin with the support for IPS patches restored, or boot into Atmosphere CFW via Hekate. Otherwise, they won't work. Since you already have sys-patch installed and on a latest version, sigpatches are unnecessary. Use one of them.

Did you try reinstalling the affected games? From what I know, some games could get invalidated if you ever booted without correct patches. Therefore, before you update your firmware/CFW, update sys-patch or sigpatches before you do so. I use latest DBI in order to install games on my Switch and I'm yet to run into an issue (and I'm using sys-patch instead of sigpatches as I don't have many sys-modules running on my Switch).

i was made aware i had accidentally used ips32 structure instead of regular ips structure for non-ips32 patches, which i corrected on github 2 weeks ago, but forgot to update this thread with it (atmosphere treats them differently based on the magic being "ips32" or "patch", where 0x08 works for ips32 and not regular ips, and i had used 0x08 instead of 0x06 for the offset for regular ips patches.

(the difference really is just ips32 permits higher offsets if needed)

these ones should have that problem fixed.

FS + Loader + ES active, your issue is either corrupt game install or doing something stupid like only installing the game update, but not the base game, or dlc and not the basegame (or rare case of update missing from base game if required if the title is of spareFS nca type)

solution: reinstall affected game.

I found the game from two different places and I tried first only the base game and then + update but didnt change the error. And after all this trys my atmosphere seems to be dead :'(

Ill wait for a new version and if it doesnt work Ill have to redo all from beggining...

reinstalling your game shouldn't make Loader crash.

new version of what?
there aren't any issues with your patches, or atmosphere.

Seems my atmosphere is having a very important issue if it cant boot, even using a backup from a few hours ago, so im refering a newer version of atmosphere

there won't be a newer version of atmopshere for your problem, as it is unrelated.

you re-installing a game shouldn't affect Loader ( 0100000000000001 ), which is a component of atmosphere.

sounds more like your sd card is dead or dying based on your other symptoms. (troubleshoot / fix by using another sd card)

edit: this silly guy went and made a github issue on atmosphere's repository

Yeah silly me created a github issue since I my atmosphere crashes on boot and wanted to seek for any kind of help besides getting another sd and/or reinstalling all the software again
Was really need to expose my incompetence like that? make u feel better?

Well yes, considering I already told you beforehand the issue is not with your patches or atmosphere.

There is some weird problem when installing with DBI now, it stops almost at the end of process and show some weird message like" Skipping file to secure partition ..."
Hope it's just DBI that need a update of some sort now...Any idea of an alternative which still work with 22.0;0?

PS: Oh wait! It seems there is one already in my package called cyberfoil....let's test and see!

PS2: It works! I managed to install Octopath Traveler 0 which was problematic with DBI...
And The Homebrew is really complete, many easy way to install things, so for people having issues with DBI now, you...

Hi there

My Switch had HATS-1.8.0-V1.3 with OFW 18.1.0, and I had games installed via AWOO, including sigpatches.

Now I upgraded to the latest HATS-2026-04-21-a195c24 package with Atmosphere 1.11.1 and OFW 22.0.0.

From what I understand, with this version we are suggested to use sys-patch, which seems to be included in the HATS package. However, my older games do not work. Will the sys-patch only work for the new games installed with DBI? Any way to make the previously installed games with AWOO work? Do I need to do something else to activate sys-patches?

just Run Hekate's...

@bth one more argument for your approach: if in next HOS system modules will be exec-only sys-patch won't be able to patch it.

22.1.0 works like a charm with medicine of latest sigpatches from @impeeza : https://gbatemp.net/attachments/hekate-ams-package3-sigpatches-1-10-2p-cfw-21-2-0_v0-zip.551052/

This will last at least for 2 years i think. This is the worst case but it will not happen off course. So be happy my friend.

By the way, 22.0.0 sigpatch medicine is from @Dmxjall81 :https://gbatemp.net/attachments/22-0-0-patches-zip.566245/...

FFS, here you go. Use a modified fusee.bin to use them.

Idk what I was doing wrong, but I couldn't get sys-patches to work with a new game I was trying to install (only available as xci or converted nsp). Felt totally screwed over and like I was gonna have to downgrade my fw. So seriously thank you for this, saved my dumbass after spending way too long trying to figure out what was wrong. Shit isn't in vain

 

[froggy55]

Is it possible to extract the fix from Kefir release and use it with vanilla Atmosphere? Or is it built into their own fork of Atmosphere?

i use it with the tinfoil patched atmosphere the 40mb patch is a package for uberhand all files for it are connected to that not atmosphere so as long as you have uberhand and the package installed you should be good with any version

ok i just tested with my switch even though i have the package it does not seem to work although it does say its on but when i check my sysmodules i still only have 6mb memory so either i did something wrong or it only works with keifir

 

[isjjj99jsad]

anyone have a syspatch for firm ware 22.0.0 and atmosphere1.11.1

 

[bth]

both sys-patch 1.6.0 and 1.6.1 supports firmware versions from 1.0.0 to 22.1.0 and atmosphere 1.11.1 just fine.

It only works with Kefir. The script just sets it to configure a different memory layout at boot. Here's the relevant patch in Kefir's fork of Atmosphere.

 

[savagewarrior]

If you have 22.1.0 firmware installed and has boot problems then download this and extract it to your micro sd card:

atmosphere-1.11.1-master-d04c20a04+hbl-2.4.5+hbmenu-3.6.1
Hekate+AMS-package3-sigpatches-1.10.2P-cfw-21.2.0_V0+medicine
sys-patch-v1.6.0
hekate_ctcaer_6.5.2_Nyx_1.9.2
Lockpick_RCM-v1.9.19
Warmboot Mariko FW 22.0.0
JKSV 12/02/2025
included..

After that you must update other files in switch folder:
linkalho-v2.0.2 : https://github.com/impeeza/linkalho/releases/tag/v2.0.2
is an example.
