Super simplified guide to setup Sys-Patch:
Download latest vers from github release pages: (currently)
1. "nx-ovlloader 21.0.0 support"
Extract zip to sd root (merge atmosphere folders).
2. "Tesla Menu 21.0.0 support"
Copy ovlmenu.ovl to /switch/.overlays/ovlmenu.ovl (create ". overlays" folder if needed)
3. "Sys-patch version v1.6.2.0"
Copy sys-patch-overlay.ovl to switch/.overlays/sys-patch-overlay.ovl
4. Reboot. Press L + Down + R stick button to open overlay and goto options to verify patches are on.

Note just tested on 22.1.0 and it works

This should be added to the first post. Thanks.

hey i've been away for a while and currently updating my switch.

being that no sigpatches updated for 22.1.0 or up anymore and just sys patch. how can i go about deleteing the past sig patches??? or should i just leave them installed?

not sure what you're talking about.

i am the one who maintains sys-patch, naturally, i am able to also make .ips and hekate patches.

there's also my atmosphere fork at https://tinfoil.io/ams which has all the patches needed built into the source code of atmosphere.

https://github.com/borntohonk/Atmos...ude/mesosphere/kern_k_embedded_fs_patches.hpp
https://github.com/borntohonk/Atmos...sphere/loader/source/ldr_embedded_patches.hpp

the atmosphere fork supports both pkg3/fss0 hekate method of booting, and fusee.

Hi all,

This is my first message, I am new to this community. I bought the switch for my girls 3 years ago, and I am updating time to time the console (when they want a recent game).

This week end, I updated from FW 18.1 to FW 20.5.0E using daybreak

Here are the elements I've downloaded and updated :
- atmosphere-1.11.1-master-d04c20a04+hbl-2.4.5+hbmenu-3.6.1
- hekate_ctcaer_6.5.2_Nyx_1.9.2
- sys-patch-v1.6.1
- NX-20.5.0
- DBI 845-en
- Linkalho 2.0.2

But when trying to launch a game, I have the following error :
"could not start the software.
Please try again from the HOME Menu."

Looking to this forum, I've applied the following change in my atmosphere/config/system_settings.ini
[olsc]
enable_olsc_communication_block = u8!0x1
default_auto_download_global_setting = u8!0x0
default_auto_upload_global_setting = u8!0x0

and restarted the console, but I still have the same error when trying to start a game (I tried several games and always same error).

When I delete and re-install a game with DBI, I have this error message
Missing ES sigpatches!
There were errors during ticket installation. Check for ES sigpatches
ERRORS FOUND DURING FILE TRANSFER. INSTALLATION ABORTED

Until now I was using sigpatches. As it is the first time I am using syspatch so I remove in bootloader\hekate_ipl.ini the following line kip1patch=nosigchk
Here is the full content of my hekate_ipl.ini
[config]
autoboot=0
autoboot_list=0
bootwait=2

autohosoff=1

I don't know what else to do to be able to play again ....
