FAQ

Spoiler: FAQ

What are sigpatches
Sigpatches allow your Switch to install and run unofficial NSP file (digital titles that appear on the home menu).
Note that you must use CFW to launch these applications even after installation as sigpatches are always required to do so.

Which sigpatches should I chose?
If you're entering Atmosphere by injecting the "fusee-primary.bin" payload, download the appropriate sigpatches. If you're using Hekatee and "fss0", get the Hekate sigpatches.

Where do those sigpatches come from?
The sigpatches are, as of now, pulled directly from the Gbatemp threads. You can find the links the homebrew uses here. Because those links are updated with a cron job, the links might be down for a little bit right after new sigpatches are uploaded to Gbatemp. If this persists and the links remain broken please open an issue and i'll investigate.

Legality?
Please only use sigpatches to install backups of games you own, or homebrew applications you are allowed to install. Using sigpatches is legal, and I am not hosting sigpatches myself. This tool merely automates a process that is routinely done by thousands of Switch owners.

I need this now but again this is very cool!

Very cool thank you

Will you be maintaining this going forward ?

Very cool thank you

Will you be maintaining this going forward ?

I have a cronjob running every 3 hours checking for the links. As long as the the gbatemp threads stay up and up to date, so will my homebrew. I can also easily change the links the app pulls from without having to update the app. The hardcoded link goes to my website so I can update the individual links if need be.

I have a cronjob running every 6 hours checking for the links. As long as the the gbatemp threads stay up and up to date, so will my homebrew. I can also easily change the links the app pulls from without having to update the app. The hardcoded link goes to my website so I can update the individual links if need be.

Thank you very much!!!

What issues have you been having with it?

Hi, I have an issue with this app since my switch is banned, I have the 90DNS configured, but if I try to launch this app i get the Atmosphere error that prompts me to reboot. like this one:

Neat updater! Makes getting sigpatches really quick and convenient.
However, I am annoyed at one thing - the sigpatch ZIPs always overwrite my hekate_ipl config file. Could you prompt users on whether they do or don't want to overwrite it when they install the newest sigpatches?

Hi, is there an option to skip replacing hekate_ipl.ini ? And if not is there any plan to add such option in the future ?

There is in aio-switch-updater, which you should use instead. This won't recieve updates
