Issues with running two specific games

[beccabarnes]

Hello, as the title says I can't open two games: Princess Peach Showdown and Pokemon Violet. I'm on a V1 model on 18.1.0 firmware with 1.7.1 atmosphere. I have the latest sigpatches and sys-patches from the sigmapatches site. All other games work, even the largest ones, except these two. The weird thing is they did work up until two days ago, they opened and ran just fine, then there's a couple hours window when I downloaded some other games from Tinfoil, tried to run the mentioned two games again and they didn't work anymore. I have tried: a) resetting saves, b) launching them holding the L button down, c) did the arch bit thing in hekate, d) reinstalled both atmosphere and hekate, e) rebooted into maintenance mode and then shut it off without touching anything, f) lost count of how many times I reinstalled the sig and sys patches, g) reinstalled the games using the nsp files. No matter what, I launch one of the games, I see the Switch loading logo for a minute or so and then I get "The software was closed because an error occurred". The second weirdest thing: everytime I reboot the Switch I can play PPS again but if I close it and try to relaunch it, nada; I would have to reboot the Switch everytime I want to play it again. Never been able to find a workaround for PV tough. What else can I do at this point?

Sigma patches are wrong... Maybe your games are xci converted and need loader patches.

Use sys-patch from here

And where would I find those?

Hello, sorry for the very late reply but I did try the sys-patches that you linked but those two games still don't open, strangely enough I downloaded Pokemon Scarlet and it works. What else can I try? Has there been a bugfix somewhere that I missed? Thanks.

Delete all syspatches from your SD card then try using these:

I would also try completely deleting the sys-patch folder and trying again with the link provided by josete2k. There's always a possibility something didn't transfer over properly. Or when it asked to overwrite existing files, you may have accidently clicked no.

How are you booting your Switch? Chainloading fusee or with hekate fss0? Are you using modified fusee or vanilla fusee that comes with Atmosphere?

Gonna try again then, btw I don't use fusee, think I've been using hekate 'cause when I boot the Switch I get the hekate gui and from there I select emummc.
