I have new patches coming soon with the latest Hekate it now supports patching Loader from the patches.ini file. So no more black screen from installing the wrong version.

Edit: I will also have to update SIgpatch Installer, and will also have Fusee patches as well.

@HarukoNX with these new Hekate features, are two kind of patches still needed, one for fusee_primary and one for fusee_secondary?

It will just be a patches.ini file. There will no longer be a loader.kip file. I think that is what you are asking. There are still separate patches for if you use Hekate vs Fusee.

Saw that you took down the file in the first post with the included es patches. Will you re-upload it with the latest Hekate update you just released? :D

New patches are now live. I've edited the original post with the new link and zip files. I will work on updating Sigpatch Installer, but in the mean time the install process is a lot easier without the loader.kip file.

Just updated to 10.0.2 with Choi and installed your new patches, and it all works perfectly. I am on AMS 0.12.0 by the way. Thanks again

Nice to see you don't need the kip binary anymore.


Thank you for providing both version here.
I'm just a little bothered with the package naming choice, but maybe you find it easier for end users?


"fusée" could be confusing. if it refers to sending the primary payload directly in RCM then it's correct.
if it refers to AMS booting method then fusée primary can both be launch with and without hekate.

Launching AMS with the different Hekate methods are also both using "fusée": either fusée (primary) or fusée (secondary).
so, calling it "Hetate" is also confusing.
Maybe calling it "Kosmos" ? as it's the method used by that package? but still not proper as other packages may use it too.


The real difference is either booting primary or secondary.
using hekate with either payload or fss0


I wrote a guide to explain the differences, so users will hopefully better understand the differences between the two Hekate boot option, and I think calling them primary/secondary, or payload/fss0, could be better.
I will update the guide today to reflect your new packages.

This is directly from Atmosphère's documentation:

fusée is a custom bootloader used to start the Atmosphère environment. It is divided into three sub-components: fusée-primary, fusée-mtc and fusée-secondary.​

So calling it fusée seems to be correct as you are using Atmosphère's full end-to-end bootloader. Yes Hekate uses the FSS0 file (fusee-secondary.bin), however if you read the source code it doesn't actually use any of the Fusee secondary payloads bundled in the file, and only parses out the kips, exosphere, and warmboot files. (It will also parse out the Sept files from there if you are lacking them.)

Edit: If you are curious about the FSS0 file I've documented the file format here and I'm currently working on a tool to be able to read and extract everything out of it.

Okay, I see what you meant then, it's more correct based on the technical and further detailed boot procedure.

I limited the guide for the end user to the "seen" option in their setup and hekate ini file, such as setting fusée-primary.bin or fusée-secondary.bin
I thought it would help end users who are currently lost in the different format to make a quick differences between both boot method, I didn't cover it further.
I hope it's still fine for the guide to keep it simple to choose between two patches packages.

I still think that calling it "hekate" can be confusing if they are using hekate to boot using primary.


Though, if your updater will include both format, that would be even simpler for everyone.

Yep the idea is to update the installer to support both, I just need to find time to update it.

Thank u so much for giving a final solution of Sigpatch errors after updating Switch firmware to 10.0.2.

Could I apply for permission to translate this Post into Chinese at juejin.im? I will annotate your original post URL at the top of the article.

Best wishes.

homebrew nsps wont work when launching via hekate, the older patches with the .kip it worked. Now my homebrew NSPs only work when using fusee-binary, and not with hekate launch config. All other games work tho
