New to modding switch

Hello everybody

I modded my v1 switch a few days ago, I have downloaded some games but when I click on them it always says an error occurred.

I have 0 experience with modding as this is my first time, and I keep seeing the issue might be syspatches. But I am having trouble finding a tutorial and installing them properly.

Can someone link me one or explain the process like I am 5? I followed modding guide from NH Swtich Guide.

Also, my system was updated to 22.5 prior to the modding. Don't know if that has anything to do with it.

Thank you!

Sys-patch patches lots of unnecessary stuff, which can cause issues. So I recommend fs-patch.
But the guide below is the same for both.

I will also use Ultrahand in the guide, which gets updates unlike the old Tesla-Menu

Guide:

Download fs-patch.zip from fs-patch
Extract all contents of the zip onto your SD-Cards root folder (highest folder on the SD)
Download sdout.zip from Ultrahand
Extract all contents of the zip onto your SD-Cards root folder
Reboot your Switch
Press ZL + ZR + Arrow Down on your Controller
Click on fs-patch
Configure it how you want

Which unnecessary things and what issues? I have never heard either claim before.

It addionatly patches es, nifm and most dangerously nim.

Nim is normally patched by atmosphere to crash your console when you connect to Nintendo servers in emuMMC, but sys-patch undoes that.

Fs-patch only patches the required fs and ldr.
