Installed atmosphere but cannot launch games

[sd_dracula]

I have an unpatched switch on 16.0.2 with atmosphere 1.5.3 and using emmuMMC to run games it just doesn't work.
I get the connect to the internet message and closes out.
Been using the guide here: https://nh-server.github.io/switch-guide/ and I don't think I've missed any steps but maybe I did?

Make sure those patches are at the correct spots, and restart the switch if you FTP/MTP in.

That is what you normally would look for.

That was it, thanks a lot.
So every time I update the FW needs new sigs?

Correct

Not every time, it depends on 2 things:
1) the firmware nintendo releases (ex ofw 16 came out and needed new sig patches. 16.0.2 came out, don't need to update since the the patches for 16.0.1 are compatible with 16.0.2)
2) atmosphere updates.

It all depends on if atmosphere needs a new loader patch (one of the various patches in the sig patches bundle) When atmosphere gets updated and also depends on nintendo firmware updates.
Usually the patches in that thread are updated within a couple of days when a new firmware drops (if new sig patches are needs) so always check that thread out to see if you need to update them or not. But most of the time you do
