may be your card is fake, on Hekate Issues you can read @CTCaer states long cards are supported now.

if you can test your card and you are completely sure you card is not fake (I am almost sure it is) you can contact to @CTCaer on github issues or discord and ask for help.


Backup all files on your SD card on your pc, format it to fat 32 using fat32 format (https://gbatemp.net/download/gui-format.33869/) then test your sd card using H2Testw (https://www.heise.de/download/product/h2testw-50539) or from Downloads section https://gbatemp.net/download/h2testw.39119/ (THAT WILL TAKE A LONG TIME)

Also you can format the card on Hekate, Hekate is full SD compliant, and put the correct spaces, partitions and spare space for correct working of the card.

Hi, I'm really confused, I don't know which of the following is correct:

I download and use the shared sigpatches, and then I don't need to create them myself. Or the opposite, I create them myself and then I don't need to download the shared ones.

I need to download and use the shared ones and also create some myself.

Either of those two scenarios with or without sys-patch.

Either of those two scenarios with or without editing the hekate ini file.

In summary, I don't understand if what's in the OP are different alternatives for the same thing, or if they are steps of the same thing.

Any guidance will be appreciated.

If you do not have the reading skills or you are so nooby ONLY USE SYS-PATCH and remove all sigpatches.

Hekate ini file is for check how the console autostarts and if you like to apply patches of No Game Cartdrige, for that you need patches.ini file.

Just install SYS-Patch sysmodule, by extracting the zip file to the root of your SD Card. https://gbatemp.net/download/sys-patch-sysmodule.39124/

Remove pretty much everything that's usually included in sigpatches archive file i.e.:
  • folders es_patches, nfim_ctest and nim-prodinfo-blank-fix from the atmosphere/exefs_patches folder.
  • folders fs_patches and loader_patches from the atmosphere/kip_patches folder.
  • patches.ini file from the bootloader folder.
That should be it. Don't forget to reboot afterwards after you install the latest sys-patch (simply drag and drop).

In any case, I've just updated my CFW (firmware, Atmosphere, Hekate, sys-patch, MissionControl and a couple of other apps) and from what I can tell everything still works just fine. The only issue I run into was that my Switch rebooted on first boot right after the Switch logo. The second time it booted properly.

my computer gets an "unidentified error" preventing me from deleting these folders, the sd card is in my machine and i run windows 10
 
Can you help a novice a bit with sigpatches.
I have v1 with fw 20.1 and have installed latest sigpatches (from the 1st post) but still most of the nro's says patches missing. Should i downgrade firmware with daybreak (to which?) and syspatch?
What is currently best option to have sigpatches?

*** Updated 2026 - 01 - 12 ***

Sigpatches updated for 21.2.0,

And Upgraded to Atmosphère 1.10.1 (no version for FW 21.2.0 yet)

SYS-Patch should work fine with this FW too.

@impeeza say, installed Patapon the other night, and it pointed to needing the eshop DL which I've never seen before. Think it's because of FW restrictions, or something else funky going on? Latest atmo, your sys-patch thing, and fw 20.1.0 since that's the newest atmo supports.

It is working for me

Tested with and without update

Hi, I just updated my firmware on emunand(via daybreak) and OFW(normal update via eshop), as I saw Hekate supported the new firmware. Normally Atmosphere also always do with a minor updates. But for some reason I can't get Atmosphere booted anymore after I updated to FW 20.2.0. I first thought it maybe was cause of Syspatch, so I deleted syspatch and ovlmenu from my device, and the content map(420000000000000B) as well. But still I don't get Atmosphere booted up.

Anyone have same issue? Now at the moment I don't mind so much as my son plays OFW most of the time anyway and that one works. But I just would like to get an idea in which direction I have to look for this issue. I always get the error seen in the attachment. Thanks in advance.

Sorted the issue out. Couldn't find earlier that there do are issues with Atmosphere if you update. But I used the AMS which you posted in another thread that does work with new FW. Thanks alot
