Hacking RELEASE CTCaer Hekate that can automatically patch FS KIP1

[rajkosto]

https://github.com/rajkosto/hekate/releases/tag/rajkosto-fskip_patching-fastest

add kip1patch=nosigchk to your launch configuration in the hekate ini for just the unsigned NCA loading support, or kip1patch=nogc,nosigchk if you've followed my non-fuse-burning upgrade method and still have un-updated gamecard controller firmware.

Also submitted it as pull request, so it will end up in CTCaer's repo eventually.

Can anyone confirm this works for firmware version 4.1.0? Hesitant to update to 5.1.

It will work on all versions I'm sure.

then why did you enable the nogc patch which is EXACTLY WHAT THAT DOES ?!

Piracy related questions in this thread (or any of my threads) are ignored.

OMG im so stupid xDDDD nogc (No GameCard)

Mind if I ask?
Why is that No GameCard option a thing?

Because if you follow his original guide on how to update to later firmwares without burning fuses, you would know that if you update without this, it will update your gamecart driver (it wont work if you downgrade in the future)

To prevent irreversible cart driver updates.

I am so ignorant, I don't really know what that means :v

What's the nocmac command on the other kip file then, just curious @rajkosto

The Switch cart slot also has a firmware that Nintendo updates. If you do unofficial updates without burning fuses, you can run into a scenario where the cart slot is updated (irreversible) and not compatible with the firmware you are on. This pretty much breaks the cart slot if you wanted it to work while maintaining older firmware.

No it does not.

Any new 4.0.0+ firmwares generated by ChoiDujour will now have FS_XXX_nogc.kip1 in the microSD folder, which, when used with generated ini, will disable communication with the gamecart controller (which makes boots and resumes from sleep slightly longer, and if you have a cartridge inserted it will hang for 15+ secs every time it tries to access it), but is the only way to prevent permanent upgrading of the gamecart slot firmware.

I see the post was already answered but I'll leave the original, unedited explanation here for future reference.
