yes. that was the problem.

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

I'm thinking Loader stuff was not being patched by the nosigchk, while the rest were.
I'm not too knowledgeable about it, as I have yet to see how Hekate actually handles the nosigchk line and what it does for it.

I'll update the guide tomorrow to add an entry for that fix too.
Glad to know it's fixed now!

games that use es_patches don't need "nosigchk", which is for fs/loader patches
So eshop dumped games will work no matter what as long as es_patches are in the right place and up to date. Forwarders and game cart dumps need fs/loader patches loaded up during boot in order to run or install.

Which part of the Atmosphere code is this patching, exactly?
I'm assuming that it's patching something from stratosphere/loader but I'd like to know exactly which function and line.

Thanks!

Atmosphere has reimplementations of some Horizon OS modules. The goal is to build a completely custom kernel capable of running HOS applications. With other CFW you would patch Nintendo's loader, but here you have to patch Atmosphere instead. Atmosphere's loader has the same checks as Nintendo's.

I know. I meant to ask exactly what function/line is being patched from the atmosphere sources.

CURRENT SIGPATCHES UPDATED FOR FW 10.2.0 AND ATMOSPHERE v0.14.4

Given the current state of affairs, and HarukoNX's repositories being nuked and the previous thread's OP not being updated anymore, I decided to open a new thread to host the up-to-date signature patches for Atmosphere through Hekate, fss0 or fusee-secondary.

This means that if you use Hekate for booting, most likely you are using fss0/fusee-secondary to load Atmosphere, so these signature patches are for you.

Do take into consideration that I DID NOT make these patches, and these are being submitted as community/user submissions.
Other users upload and make these patches, I only update the OP with the most up-to-date patches!

If you update to the latest CFW/sigpatches, and find yourself having issues booting some of them, be sure to check out this guide:
https://gbatemp.net/threads/guide-how-to-fix-switch-games-not-booting-after-a-fw-cfw-update.563960/

If you want to update the sigpatches without having to deal with PC transfers, you could use the new Sigpatches Updater by @Homlet :

Thank you mate for the sigpatches! it woks in atm 0.14.4

Thank you so much for these. The fusee-primary doesn't work for me for some reason (dual booting along with sx os), but fusee-secondary boots up just fine although I couldn't find anywhere the sigpatches for it

You can try booting through fusee-primary with the patches included here.
Maybe they work?

Still though, glad it worked for you with secondary!

fusee-primary launched through hekate payloads just ends up on a black screen, no atmosphere logo, no nothing and I have to force shutdown my switch. I've probably missed some configuration somewhere in a file or maybe it has issues with SX Core who knows, but I'll keep using the secondary one for now since I don't see any downsides to it (if there are any?). Thanks for the tip

Well as long as you're not using HBG or Tinfoil itself, you shouldn't need to use primary tbh, so it's fine haha

Thanks for the sigpatch i need it.

They work flawlessly. Thank you very much (to the thread creator and the people created them)!
Keep up the good work. Is there a good documentation how to create them myself in case they aren't permitted anymore?

Are those actually repos for making them from scratch?
From what I can see, the IPS patches are already in the repo, and all the Makefile is doing is just repackaging into a proper release form.

Both of those repos don't mention how would one go about actually creating the patches ourselves.

In the PKG2 patches repo, the instructions on how to make FS/Loader patches are located under docs. For some reason though, the ES patches don't have the same instructions under docs.

Oh you're right.
They're located here:
https://github.com/tiliarou/PKG2-Patches/tree/289bfd80dca509f238dd5ee7de384e620f2b9686/docs

Only ones that seem to be missing are the ES patches instructions, as you mention.
I might as well back them up somewhere, and everyone else should as well lol

Awesome. Just cloned the project just in case. Thank you very much!
maybe this is offtopic but I didn't get the difference between ES and ACID patches?

ES, which is short for Eticket Services, patches are required to install and launch unconverted .NSP files or games dumped straight from the eShop. ACID patches are a subset of FS patches which are needed to install and play any converted .NSP files and .XCI converts.

Good explanation
Thank you very much!

I noticed the files are dated Sept. does it work for 10.2/14.4?
