Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

Using 19.0.1SYS/1.8.0AMS|E

I have the most recent sigpatches but the latest update for Super Smash Bros. doesn't seem to work. I get "the software was closed because an error occurred". The integrity check passes for the update, so I'm not sure what could be wrong.

Ideas?

Are you sure your sigpatches are even working?

Atmosphere 1.7.0 or newer no longer supports ips kip patches which are usually used for piracy reasons. Therefore sigpatches won't work unless you:
1) Load Atmosphere's package3 via Hekate's FSS0 - You'll need to reboot to Hekate, go to Launch and select sysNAND CFW since that's what you're currently running. If you've downloaded the sigpatches from here. your bootloader/hekate_ipl.bin will already have everything you need to have configured.
2) Use modified fusee.bin payload with ips kip patches support.
3) Use sys-patch instead of sigpatches.

I've been personally using sys-patch for more than a year now and I never run into any issues so far. While you can use sigpatches alongside sys-patch, they can be removed to reduce the clutter on your SD card.

Try with sys-patch instead.

Interesting! You link to a newer version (1.5.6). Do you know what's different on this fork, compared to @impeeza 's version 1.5.5?

If I remember correctly, nothing much other than precious config file being removed if present upon first run of sys-patch 1.5.6 and a version dump. If you're on 1.5.5 and everything's working properly, there's no need to update.

EDIT: From Github desc.: Clean up existing config.ini if required to remove obsolete entries.

Hi
I have switched lite modded
I have the latest cfw 19.01 atmosphere 1.8 S everything works fine except some games not working and say "the software was closed becouse of error accured" liugie mansion3 and toad tressure tracker

What shall I do to make them work?

What shall I do to make them work?

Do you have the latest sigpatches and/or sys-patch module installed? If not, you can try that and see if that fixes the error you're getting,

If that doesn't help, did you try going into maintenance mode in order to clear cache? Sometimes that fixes the software refusing to start. Here's how:

1. Make sure that your Internet connection is disabled if you're connected right now and remove any saved connections as well (unless you have DNS MITM in place).
2. Turn off your console (when in home menu, hold the power button for a few seconds and select power off).
3. Right before you send your fusse.bin payload, hold volume + and volume - at the same time. Keep holding until you get into maintenance mode (you'll see Atmosphere bootlogo first, Switch logo after that one). After a while your Switch should enter into the maintenance mode. At this point the cache is cleared as well as any pending update you don't need to press and/or select anything.
4. Press the power button once again. It'll shut down the console.
5. Boot into CFW the way you usually do and make sure to activate flight mode. (Connecting to the Internet is safe only if you have DNS MITM in place.)
6. Problematic game should work now.

If that didn't help either, try reinstalling the problematic game with the latest DBI installer. Here's a good video on how to use it.
Otherwise, check this thread for other possible solutions.

Thanks. Let me look into this. I have sys-patch installed (1.5.5) but wasn't clear on its functionality. What do I need to do with it?

My hekate setup looks like this:

[Atmosphere]
fss0=atmosphere/package3
kip1patch=nosigchk

Launch and select sysNAND CFW since that's what you're currently running.

Sorry, I think my shorthand may have been confusing. I'm using Atmosphere 1.8.0 on EmuNAND - 19.0.1|1.8.0AMS|E.

Once sys-patch is installed, you don't need to do anything special with it, just reboot your console for sys-patch to do its work. It effectively replaces sigpatches. You don't need both installed, in fact, I'm only using sys-patch here, but both can co-exist without creating conflicts, though. With sys-patch, you can boot atmosphere just using plain fusee.bin as a payload, and it will still work. You can also use Tesla overlay to see if sys-patch is working ok, but it's not mandatory.

Thanks. i am trying that now. I removed sigpatches.

So far, everything looks good. I tried a few titles and they worked.

The one problem I have is that Super Smash Bros. Ultimate v29 is not booting ("an error occurred") but v0 works. I verified the update nsp integrity and didn't see any problems. Any ideas?

The only thing I can think of is different region nsp for the update. The base game and the update should have the same ID except for the last 3 digits... 000 for base, and 800 for update.

Yes, the IDs are the same (excluding the last three digits).

 

[Dust2dust]

Well, that's strange. If you're absolutely positive the nsp files are good, I guess you don't have many options. Is your emuNAND on the latest firmware (19.0.1)? Cause the update, depending if it's recent enough, might require a high firmware version. In a worse case scenario, un-install both the base game and the updates, remove the tickets for good measure with something like DBI, and then re-install again from scratch.

Out of curiosity, what did you use to check the integrity of the nsp files?

 

[wailly]

Thanks for the replay.
IDK what DNS MITM mean. I have the device already pached and modded I download games from tinfoil since then no problem.
I will try the rest steps and update.

Do you and see if that fixes the error you're getting,

Thanks for your reply
I HAVE done all the steps you mentioned updates sigpatches and syspatches without benifits. Then I have gone to maintenance mode and no benifit. But something changes. Instead "the software was closed becouse of error accured" it askes now to connect to internet and said you need to purchase the software.

I used NxFileViewer and I also tried NSC Builder.

The EmuNAND is the latest 19.0.1. The update needs 18.1.0, according to NXFV.

 

[Blythe93]

But something changes. Instead "the software was closed becouse of error accured" it askes now to connect to internet and said you need to purchase the software.

Can it be that you've installed an update from another region or skipped installing the base game entirely?

Can you take a screenshot of the game tile before you run the game (and select the profile) and once the actual error occurs?
Also, make sure that in sys-patch logs everything says Patched. To open up Tesla Menu, press and hold L + D-pad down + R3 (press the R analog stick). Once there go to sys-patch - Logs.

I have installed RetroArch on Switch and when I launch RetroArch this happened and it happened when I'm not in applet mode.
How do fix this?

Guys tinfoil downloads very slow for me. (0.5 instead of 7-10mb/s) I tried cleaned orphaned files but speed stays very low, how do I solve it?

You could solve it by not using Tinfoil, and downloading nsp files from some websites, then installing them with DBI or similar app.

Download speed vary depending on the server the files are hosted and your internet. If you find it too slow then do what dust2dust suggested

It should work on 19.0.1 and latest sys-patch.
