Update: by adding "kip1patch=nosigchk" to bct.ini I was able to get everything working again, thanks for the fix (as Draxzelex said, almost everyone has a different bct.ini file so I placed it on a different line). Only works when launching directly with Fusee-Primary, though. When I boot the Switch using Hekate, it doesn't work.

You are looking at the wrong thread then, this thread is for fss0/fusee-secondary/Hekate boot (I made that mistake too). There's another thread for fusee-primary/Atmosphere boot: https://gbatemp.net/threads/sigpatches-for-atmosphere-fusee-primary-only.567542

Why are people still struggling with the missing nosigchk line in the ini?
That was updated in OP days ago and added back.

They probably still have the old ZIP? If people don't care about custom config, just drag and drop. Otherwise, edit hekate_ipl.ini to include nosigchk line. You might have to explicitly state that to clarify.

Thanks you the new patch is working fine.

you have to add that line to the hekate_ipl.ini inside bootloader folder. Can you show me your bct.ini file cuz mine looks nothing like my hekate_ipl.ini file.

Yeah I meant hekate instead of bct. So I changed it in hekate_ipl.ini.

Ah my bad, thanks for the correction! Will go to that thread in case of future questions with fusee-primary boot.

You don't need the loader.kip file anymore.
That's handled by the patches.ini file for fusee-secondary, and the loader folder with the IPS patches for fusee-primary

forwarders dont work for me. any reason why that might be?

Weird, I used the BrowserNX forwarder like a couple days ago, and it worked fine for me.
Are you sure you have the ES and Loader patches in there?
What forwarder are you trying out?

Slluxx · Sep 28, 2020

i tried a selfmade nro2nsp forwarder for gta3 which doesnt work. super mario 3d allstars also does not work.
assassins creed and mario kart 8 on the other hand do work.

Mario 3D All Stars works for me. I think I even installed the GTA3 forwarder at some point and it worked too, I just deleted it because I thought it was the NSP with all the assets, and not just a forwarder lol
Have you tried disabling Emuiibo or mods if you have them? Any other sysmodule could also be at fault for not launching certain NSPs. Try disabling them and retry.

its a completly fresh setup there is nothing i can change. i just used the newest ams version and threw the patches on

Did you copy-paste both the atmosphere and bootloader folders directly into your SD's root?
Also, what are you using to boot into Atmosphere?
Fusee-primary of Fusee-secondary?

Slluxx · Sep 28, 2020

yes ofc i copied both folders. i wouldnt be able to boot a single game if the patches are not installed. question is why can i boot some but not all.
im not new to the scene.

Just wanted to make sure.

So I need to know your specific Atmosphere version, and also your Switch's firmware version as well.
Super Mario 3D All-Stars partially works on firmwares below 10.0.
However, update 10.0.0+ added JITs into the system, and since 3D All-Stars takes advantage of this specific feature, it might not work on firmwares below 10.0.0.
Some users did experience issues with SMA3DAS booting up with versions of Atmosphere before 0.14.4, so having the latest Atmosphere is a must for that game to run.

As for the forwarders not working, I am not quite sure what the culprit of that might be, it can be a wide variety of issues with a variety of solutions, so I will recommend you take a look at this detailed guide I compiled (and I'm still updating) to try to see if one of the options here could make the forwarders work:

initially i was on 10.0.2|0.14.0 where everything worked. i updated ams to the latest version and used your patches when the issues began. i then updated HOS to 10.2.0 and used homlets AiO updater to get the latest patches (which should be the same as yours - 10.2.0|0.14.4) and it still does not work.

i have multiple games that work and multiple that dont (not just forwarder nsp's but all of them). minecraft is another game that stopped working

Yeah it does sound like some stuff might have borked in the update.
The things that I can suggest right from the get go are to:
1) Disable all the overlays, mods or cheats for any, or all games.
2) Try fixing the Archive Bit using Hekate's Archive bit fixer from its Tools option, some users have experienced issued with the archive bit being removed, and doing that made them work again.

Slluxx · Sep 28, 2020

no sysmodules were active at any time.
archive bit didnt set or unset a thing (i guess i can trust hekates output on that)

still doesnt work
ffs whats going on

ShadowOne333 · Sep 28, 2020

Are you using Hekate? And if so, are you using the latest 5.3.3 release?
That might have something to do with it as well.
The AIO's Updater by Hamlet simply redirects/redownloads the patches from this thread, so that won't do much difference.

I suggest swapping out fusee-primary for secondary booting, or viceversa if you are using secondary to boot already (secondary->primary), and then see if the failing games boot or if they are doing anything different after changing the booting payload method.

Slluxx · Sep 28, 2020

yes im using hekate 5.3.3 with fss0 booting.

looks like i also cant install nsp forwarders anymore

Check if you have the "nosigchk" line inside your hekate_ipl.ini file.

Slluxx · Sep 28, 2020

yes. that was the problem.

but why was i able to start some but not all of my games?
