Well it was pretty bad.
Comments like that people need to keep to themselves

 

[linuxares]

And thats why I hate the political section....

 

[impeeza]

Too bad that MrDude was banned, so he cannot give us an update.

Better says was not banned, was censored.

Nvm
I'd also want sigpatches to work. But you know..

 

[RedColoredStars]

Well maybe he use a proper method making the ctest patches and these from Mr Dude's software isn't good?

So the solution is to find out how three cats are creating their ctest sigpatches.

 

[impeeza]

Since the beginnings has been several ways to do the patching.

By example there are two set of ES Patches, ES & ES2, ES2 was the original way to patching for ES Ticket that way patched on two different offset. then a new Wave of patches patching only in a place become the norm.

The same happens to FS and cTest.

That's why Sigpatches and SYS-Patch are complementary, one uses one way and other uses other, may be redundant but is your preference to use one, other or booth.

The thing is, if sys-patch logs are reporting green it means the sigpatch is not working (but still patched by sys-patch). Regardless, it's not working. This is important to those who want to keep a tidier sd card, want to continue chainloading fusee, and and may want ctest patched. Ctest patch here not working. Ctest patch from three cats is working.

The thing is, if sys-patch logs are reporting green, it means the sigpatch is not working

Green means what the patches ON THE WAY SYS-Patch looks for them are no applied and SYS-Patch apply them on the way SYS-Patch do it. do not means other patch no searched by SYS-Patch are not applied.

I was editing still when you commented. Read the edited version. Basically, if the ctest sigpatch was actually working, sys-patch log would show it as orange. If a person isn't using sys-patch, I believe the ctest sigpatch from here is not working.

Probably it's best not to talk about race, religion or politics. You have the fanatics on all sides who will in the end just try to destroy each other as they can never agree. Unless all sides learn to tolerate each other this will always be the outcome, but looking at history this never happens as one side always thinks they are better than the other.

Now for patching, I think just try the patch that works and if it doesn't - try the other one.

 

[impeeza]

fanatics

That's the key term. a community should be a safe place to interchange opinions, but with the new police of the alphabet the freedom of speech is going by the drain.

For the last lustrum the Universal Declaration of Human Rights has been taken down, here at my country the Article 11 was suspended only for the men by national law!

Differences between the kittens site an this thread:

I've compared the two and with the obvious out of the way i.e. three cats sigpatches having sys-patch and hekate_ipl.ini files, the only difference were between their fs_patches and loader_patches.

fs_patches:

• These are unique to GBATemp's sigpatches:
  1E2C64B1CCE27824999B9DC2276701696C9569CBC607501D65CC1386CE485B65.ips
795F5A5EB0C6779EF2D5763E0052B3FB605C796869FE268F0C58714861EFCAEC.ips
• The rest of the files are shared.

loader_patches:

• These are unique to GBATemp's sigpatches:
  0f3850b7ce489f6a8faee9ad301013f66c74e7c8f8d1b7038ab7fe8ba9d5ac24.ips
4D9C6D6993BF5BF058843BE072C9819598865C79BF87674C63B6D248FA7A0BA4.ips
11733BF70FA36F44C3B83E94668EAF3C748E5EF0F4B986B59945F40BF4F3EE2C.ips
• These are unique to Three Cat's sigpatches:
  4710D7157A50D5B71C1A6942DAA82903FCF5C5FCFD0FDB5F2D9DD2ED418DEB5F.ips
• The rest of the files are shared between the two.

I don't have my Switch at the moment to test it, but I guess that 4710D7157A50D5B71C1A6942DAA82903FCF5C5FCFD0FDB5F2D9DD2ED418DEB5F.ips could be the reason why ctest is Patched on sys-patch. Why there's a difference between the two, I don't know. impeeza probably does something differently when creating his sigpatches so he might know what's going on here.

UPDATE: Even patches.ini files are different between those two different sigpatches, so I doubt that's the only issue here. I've checked the three cat's sigpatches and they indeed work properly according to sys-patch.

Well here is a binary comparison between the patches on the OP of this thread and the one on the three Kitties site:


bootloader\patches.ini
The content of both files are basically the same, on the Kittens one:

• The Patches for Firmware 15 and 16 are duplicated because the value 0:0x06EBA4 is stores with the leading and without
• And the FS Patches for Firmwares 13 to 18 are on different order
• The file on this thread the Patches for #FS 16.0.3-ExFAT & FS 16.1.0 are the same set of patches

atmosphere\exefs_patches\es_patches\
The patches:
1114E9102F1EBCD1B0EAF19C927362CFCB8B5D2C.ips 12.1.0
F48ABC3EF41A0555800127D172C9B8D2C653243A.ips 12.0.0 - 12.0.3
Are binary different

atmosphere\exefs_patches\nfim_ctest\
The patches
184A3F5734F456D0718FA35D15D8410A9BDFC537.ips 18.0.0
440F71259BCA1E97EA3663CBD6EC9315951F9E96.ips 17.x.x
A2C3AEE4E5A954908BEBAEDEA2010095E9E521B2.ips 16.x.x
Are binary differences may be two different methods of patch the same or IPS Patch Creator needs some Tweak

May be the masters of the patches, @TotalJustice and the now banned @mrdude could help us to get a consensus between the different ways to apply patches and the sigpatches repos.

If they are the masters of the patches, you're the mater analyzer of patches. Thanks for the detailed comparison. ^^

 

[duckbill007]

with kip patching removed from atmosphere all ips kip patches are useless now. they are never applied. only patches.ini and exefs now applied.

This is not correct, kip patches can be applied via hekate as has been explained in numerous posts. Also modded fusee.bin can be used to load these patches as well, which is explained as well and this file is posted here in this very forum. I am using kip patches just fine for some games that I have and they work just fine on the newest Atmosphere.

Not trying to take MrDude's defense, but calling him like that hardly makes you a better person than him. All this name calling reminds me of the school yard when I was a kid. Most of us are adults here, I believe. We should act as such.

He went out of his way to be shitty to people and say shitty things about people based on who they were. I call him shitty for being shitty to other people. If you feel that's equivalent then that's your opinion and you're welcome to it because it's not a harmful opinion being actively used to cause harm.

I get your point. I didn't mean to say that your opinions were as strong as his, on specific topics. Just the name calling that is bugging me, I guess. We, as a community, shouldn't do that.
