I'm on atmosphere 20.0.1 and HOS 12.1.0
I've tried all sigpatches on the internet. Even tried hekate.

But I'm still having the problem that the latest games are not working. They give the error "Unable you start the software." Note - Older games works fine.

Games that I've tried that are not working
Super Mario 3D World+bowser's fury
Legend of zelda skyward sword HD
Hyrule warriors - Age of calamity

Can anyone help?

Try this. Load up Lockpick and dump your prod.keys from the Switch. Download Switch Army Knife on your PC, put the prod.keys in the bin folder of Switch Army Knife. Convert the base game .nsp file to an .xci file with Switch Army Knife. Install the converted .xci with Awoo and NS-USBloader over USB or copy it to your SD card and install with Awoo. Install your .nsp updates and DLC after that. If you still get "Unable to start software" restart the Switch and load the game again. I had this issue along with another person and this worked for us. I have no idea why converting the base game to an .xci worked for us but it got the game running.

Okay. Thanks man. I'll try it out after trying patched xci method that another person suggested.

Oh, there is one more suggest I got.
Install fusee sigpatches (not hekate one). Put latest fusee-primary.bin from latest atmosphere release in your 'payload' folder. Boot to to hekate, choose payloads, choose fusee-primary.bin.

I found it to be a bit more stable than usual boot method.

Atmosphere is bit of a pain to use, barely had problems like this on sx, but alas, it's ded.

by today fusee y hekate are identical, was different versions because Tinfol refuses to work if hekate (or his sigpatches) was on the system, as you can read on this post since tinfoil removes the nagging about hekate the sigpatches files become the same.

Every time I update the sigpatches and reboot with the payload my atmosphere gives me an error (code: 2001-0144(0xe401) ) and all I can do is delete the patches from the sd card. Any advice (or previous posts that talk about this since I might have missed them?)
Edit: I don't use hekate, only plain og atmosphere

I can suggest what I did to the last guy. Find version marked 'patched xci', it's repacked with all extra checks dumbed down. It might work.
I downloaded a patched xci for Sx Pro that didn't work I got it to work on Atmosphere in the end by merging the game ' update and all dlc into an xci file

The same function is patched as before, however the patch is in a different place - so maybe that's why, also it depends where you get the patches from, if you make yourself using scripts one of the patches differ slightly compared to what's available on a certain github page.

thanks. last question: i'm still oh atmo 11.x but can't launch newer games. i've never had problems after updating firmware and atmo but now, on gbatemp, i'm reading some people having troubles with the 12.x version and sigpatches (problems on launching previously installed games, booting etc.). is there a real increase in issues with the latest updates or is a normal "clinical records"?

Never had issues before after following all the steps and didn’t have them now either. People who can read and wait at least two days after a release should not worry. It’s always been either installing fw update before Atmosphere was updated, using wrong patches or not cleaning the installation from previous plugins/themes.

Only follow all the instructions by the letter and you will have no problem at all;
Most of the people having priblems are missed files or no updating some components.

Atmosphere got today its first 1.0 pre-release.
With it, comes a bunch of changes to both fusee primary and secondary.

I am not sure how much the new changes affect the cration of the signature patches.
@mrdude have you seen if the scripts made still work for the new fusee and package3 files and/or if they require any considerable changes? (Fusee primary and Fusee secondary new names, respectively)
