Hacking Sigpatches for Atmosphere (Hekate, fss0, fusee & package3)

[Picalo]

@LyuboA Stop telling people to just switch from fss0 to fusee_primary. Its not addressing the actual problem.
Ignore what the troll said. Just redownload the latest patches and you do NOT need to change fss0 to fusee_primary. They work completely fine on my machine.

Thank you for the respond. I installed Deepsea sigpatch, installed this thread sigpatch, and used the app to update the sigpatch but I am still getting
Zelda links Aw still shows invalid NCA
Street of Rang tries to do a search for an update

I am using tinwood installer (cant seam to use Goldleaf with Atmos .18 or deepsea)
any suggestions?

There are a couple of different things you can try:

• Disable any cheats and/or mods for the games you are trying to play
• Reinstall the games
• Enter maintenance mode (holding volume + and - when turning the console on)

So I notice that if I ignore the NCA warning zelda will play but street of range will not.

• Disable any cheats and/or mods for the games you are trying to play
• --------This is a fresh installed I formatted everything in trying to get this to work.
• Reinstall the games
• --------I have accouple of time
• Enter maintenance mode (holding volume + and - when turning the console on)
• -------------Did not work for me.

I guess ill leave it alone for now. Thank you

I mean based on what you said, Street of Range doesn't sound like a patches issue but rather, it is notifying of you of an update for the game.

I forgot to reply to the whole primary/secondary thing lol.

It doesn't matter if you use primary or secondary, the patches should work for BOTH.
I use secondary myself, and I don't have any issues with any of my games.
Make sure you guys update to the latest sigpatches pack, primary and secondary should be interchangeable by now.

sure but as you can see most ppl here have no clue what fss0 fusee-secondary boot is and for these ppl unless they want to learn they should stick with fusee-primary.bin cause its easier and Tinfoil works with it + fss0 Only benefits Devs not normal users
and to use Tinfoil with FSS0 you need to mod hekate or use workaround like Cling-Wrap

Just a quick question, are sigpatches cumulative? Meaning newer sigpatches meant to work with the latest available Firmware or Atmosphere will also always work with old Firmware versions or old Atmosphere versions ?
I want to know if each released sigpatch is tied up to a specific Firmware or Atmosphere release.

new patches dont work with old firmware or atmosphere versions thats why all patches are bundled together
so ppl can use old firmware and atmosphere versions and for archive purpose

Then will it work in an old Firmware but using the latest Atmosphere ? I think Atmosphere is supposed to work in all the Firmwares up to the point of it's release right ? Or do I need to grab both an old version of Atmosphere AND an old version of sigpatches to make them work together ?

edit: to clarify, I always thought that Atmosphere is supposed to work with all the available Nintendo Firmwares up to the point of the date Atmosphere is released (unless stated otherwise). Then you would just need to grab the sigpatch that supports the Atmosphere version you are using, so the sigpatch is tied up to the Atmosphere version and not the Nintendo Firmware which means you can run the latest Atmosphere with the latest sigpatches in an older Nintendo Firmware.

I guess my confusing is if I’m forced to use an older Atmosphere version when using an older Firmware because the latest sigpatches made for the latest Atmosphere are also made to use with the latest Nintendo Firmware only ?

yes Atmosphere will work on all firmwares but best use newer firmware cause Atmosphere is optimized with newer firmware in mind so
better dont go under 8 best use 11.0.1

OK gotcha! so I can indeed run the latest version of Atmosphere in an old Firmware assuming I'm also using the latest sigpatches, confirming my theory that sigpatches are tied up to Atmosphere versions and not the Nintendo Firmware.

It's both.
Loader sigpatches are dependant on the Atmosphere version, while the FS and ES sigpatches are dependant of the Switch's firmware version.

So if I want to use Atmosphere with sigpatches on a older Firmware I'm forced to use an older Atmosphere version because the latest Atmosphere requires the latest sigpatches which in turn only supports the latest Firmware ?

Can't I just grab the 'Loader sigpatches' from the latest sigpatch release and the 'FS and ES sigpatches' from an older sigpatch release and use them on the latest Atmosphere version to run on an older Firmware ?

I don't think you understand.
There are several Loader patches for Atmosphere in the pack, most for different versions of Atmosphere.
Atmosphere, as it is and in latest versions, has functionality for all FW versions.

Besides, why would you want to go back to older firmware?
That would lock you out of most recent games in the last year or two.

Simply use latest Atmos with latest sigpatches and don't worry about anything else.
Atmos/Hekate take care of which patches to apply automatically

Simple put all I want to know for sure is that if I can use the latest version of Atmosphere ( atm 0.18.0 ) on a switch with an older Firmware ( let's say 10.2.0 ) using the latest sigpatches ( lets say this ones from here https://github.com/ITotalJustice/patches/releases/tag/11.0.1-0.18.0 ) ?

OR because there is no publicly available sigpatches that work with the latest version of Atmosphere on an old Firmware I am forced to use an older version of Atmosphere ( let's say 0.15.0 ) that was released at the same time of the older Firmware ( let's say 10.2.0 ) that I am using, with the sigpatches that were also released at that time and confirmed to work with said version of Atmosphere/Firmware ( lets say this ones from here https://github.com/ITotalJustice/patches/releases/tag/10.2.0-0.15.0+M ) ?

First my thinking is that the publicly available sigpatches from https://github.com/ITotalJustice/patches or even here https://github.com/eXhumer/patches would always include backwards compatibility on their the latest release, thus I asked for confirmation if that was indeed the case ?
Then if that is not the case, my thinking is that since new Loader sigpatches appear only to be tied to every different Atmosphere version and FS + ES only to new Firmware versions I'd just grab the Loader from the latest sigpatches release here https://github.com/ITotalJustice/patches/releases/tag/11.0.1-0.18.0 which is confirmed to work on the latest Atmosphere version and the FS + ES from an old sigpatches release here https://github.com/ITotalJustice/patches/releases/tag/10.2.0-0.15.0+M which are confirmed to work on Firmware 10.2.0, all this in order to make the latest version of Atmosphere (0.18.0) work with sigpatches on an older Firmware version (10.2.0)!

So which route is true?

As I said, don't worry about versions.
Simply get latest Atmosphere (and/or Hekate) and latest sigpatches.
The CFW and/or Hekate deal with the patching automatically depending on the FW and Atmos version detected.

I run FW 10.2.0 with the latest Atmos and sigpatches, so that should answer your question.

OK thx! As I understand it appears that the latest sigpatches archives from the popular sources in the internet always contain additional (legacy) files bundle with them that work with old versions of Atmosphere or old Firmwares so it's like a 2-in-1 type of thing (you get the latest as well as the old sigpatches) and Atmosphere detects your system settings and loads all the correct files automatically for you.

hello,
actually, what's the best cfw/atmosphere ver/sigpatches combo to stay on? I mean, most stable with most of the games working?
I'm on cfw 10.X and atmo 14. I'd like to update cfw to play newest dlc and games but i'm a little bit scared reading some people reporting issues on latest cfw and atmosphere versions.
