can one of y'all link me to

ok I'll format it again
If you haven't been able to get it to work, I recommend the following troubleshooting steps:
  1. Make sure the SD card is FAT32.
  2. Remove all CFW files/folders from your SD card (that would be folders like /sept/ and /atmosphere/)
  3. Download the latest Atmosphere
  4. Download the latest fusee-primary (next to Atmosphere)
  5. Download these signature patches (for Atmosphere v0.14.1)
  6. Put Atmosphere and the signature patches onto your SD card
  7. Put the SD into your Switch
  8. Launch Atmosphere using fusee-primary
If you're using an emuMMC, the steps might be slightly different.

I've heard for some people that they needed to change the switches time. I can't remember anything else besides that but for a some of them it worked. Like there clocks were off

I just updated my switch, I dl all and this sig patch too, I can't start tinfoil, hbmenu and goldleaf (I can't start nothing that is not an official game I think) What can I do ?

Make sure your signature patches comport with your system version and your Atmosphere version. For example, Atmosphere 0.14.4 with 0.14.3 patches isn't going to work.

Hey guys,

I am having a similar issue with specifically Tinfoil not being able to start. I recently updated to AMS 0.14.4 from 0.14.1, my OFW is at 10.1.0. When I try to launch Tinfoil, I get the "Unable to start software" error. I've tried deleting it and re-installing it from HBMenu (not applet mode) to no avail. All of my other applications/games launch no problem, so I'm fairly certain (correct me if I'm wrong) my sigpatches are up to spec.

I didn't install the newest sigpatches since my OFW is still 10.1.0 as apposed to 10.2.0. It's my understanding that sigpatches should be updated as the OFW is updated, am I correct?

What did I miss here?

download the jits.cc AIO atmosphere package and install it. HBG is dead.

All that aio pack is atmosphere, sig patches, and tinfoil configured with jits
Hmm, i see. I just did some light digging and learned that HBG Shop is in fact shutting down on 10/1, a pity. I never really did understand what the difference betweeen the HBG Shop and Tinfoil was, although I understand they are closely related to each other. Anyhow, I found a post on reddit detailing the JITS AIO, so I guess if I have any questions about it I'll ask those there. I still am not sure what the problem is with me not being able to open Tinfoil on my system, can't help but wonder if it's related to the HBG shutdown?

Sig patches need to be updated with both OFW and Atmosphere updates since OFW 10.0 came out.

Ah, now we're getting somewhere. Thanks! Even though the current sigpatches are for OFW 10.2.0 will it be ok for me to use them, or will I have to update to OFW 10.2.0 for everything to work. I don't have any real reason to not update the OFW, just being lazy I guess lol. That and I don't have access to a PC atm, only a Macbook, and I'd rather not try to use macOS to send files to my switch. I've known it to cause some issues in the past.
