sys-patch or sigpatches? What do you prefer?

[toxic9]

Hi fellows!

At this point, there are still several ways to achieve the same goal.

I would like to hear you opinion,
What do you use, and why?

Sis-patch ; ATM sigpatches ; Hekate patches , Other?

Hekate and Manually installing patches

I choose to always manually install sigpatches because I’m an engineer I want to know what’s gone wrong if at all it goes wrong so I know how to fix etc.. the manual install is easy enough.

Switched (hue hue) to sys-patch and not looking back. It's easier and has a much higher chance of just working after updates.

what even is sys-patch? and how to use it.? Only ever heard of Sigpatches before.

Ain't you suppose to use both? Like putting a condom, while she takes the pills? Bulletproof.

Dude, just look it up, might as well download it there

Sigpatches installed manually.

Sigpatches installed manually, (Hekate), but I will give a try to sys-patch for curiosity.

Some say you should not use sys-patch alone.
This means you should always have sys-patch and sigpatches at the same time.
But I think this doesn't make any sense.

check out what iTotalJutice says about it

Does this mean that I should stop downloading / using sigpatches?​

No, I would personally recommend continuing to use sigpatches. Reason being is that should this tool ever break, i likely wont be quick to fix it.


hats off for being honest about the tool. If in doubt just use both

No it doesn´t. You can even check in the Tesla overlay if sys-patch patched everything correctly.

It only makes sense to manually copy sigpatches again if there is a hypothetical new Atmosphere update that breaks sys-patch.
But you should always check if a new Ams update breaks compatibility with any installed homebrew BEFORE updating anyway.

I use sigpatches and sys-patch in case one fails.

In my opinion you won't need manual patches except if sys-patch breaks. Chances are there will be manual patches before sys-patch updates. But as said sys-patch is not very likely to break unless Nintendo does a major code refactor just to break auto patching (unlikely at this point).

I just use both as recommended by the sys-patch author. It's only a couple of KBs more to download and needs no configuration, i see no need for me overthink this.
