Thanks for your reply.
I'm an advanced user and I think I have found a bug somewhere.
I'm on 17.0.0 and using exfat.
When I copy the output folder to exefs_patches folder, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

What I tested:

1. I have deleted all ips files that are not needed for this FW version (only 5 are used).
Same weired result

2. I have injected multiple times the payload.
Same weired result

3. I tried renaming several times the output folder.
Same weired result

4. I was using sys-patch. I have disabled it.
Same weired result

So I think there is a bug on how ATM reads ips files on booting.
The only difference when you copy the same files multiple times are the metadata on the SD cache.
Someone need to make a debug to find why ATM are not loading the files.

*******************

UPDATE:

1. I tested the latest version of the software you provided, it works as a charm! The only issue is that it takes more time to show the logo, and the boot proccess is much more slow.

2. I found that I just need 1 file, instead of 5.
So, I dont know what these files generated by the script are used for, but I think the problem are on them. After deleting them, everythng works correctly:

# AM patches
"C79F22F18169FCD3B3698A881394F6240385CDB1": 1668164,
"01890C643E9D6E17B2CDA77A9749ECB9A4F676D6": 1962240,
"C088ADC91417EBAE6ADBDF3E47946858CAFE1A82": 1962240,
"3EC573CB22744A993DFE281701E9CBFE66C03ABD": 1716480,
yeah, the Palomitas, always generate the bigger patch possible so the loading time is bigger, you always need only a IPS file the one matching your actual fimware, normally you found a set of patches with all posible IPS files because no everybody are on the same FW, so a package with all IPS files will work for everyone, the loading time is not affected by the number of IPS files on you Bootlogo folder.

You can try again the friedkeenan-Pythontool script, downloading the latest version from the GitHub.

You can use the steps on https://gbatemp.net/threads/origina...ware-switch-logo-patcher.613041/#post-9840002 to obtain the original bootlogo of Nintento Firmware allowing you to generate the smallest IPS files using Friedkeenan script, so the boot time is reduced.

If you take the time to read previous post, you will find what the script has been updated to support FW17 3 weeks ago, so if you use latest script version you will get a IPS set of files working on ALL firmwares.
