innocent patches for the switch for using certain homebrews~

hello! welcome to patches. you need to download and extract the appropriate zip file from the releases page to the root (highest directory) of your sd card! this should merge the /atmosphere/ folder in the zip with the atmosphere folder on your sd card! you should not have an /atmosphere/atmosphere/ folder, nor should you have an /sd/, /fusee/, or /hekate/ folder on your sd.

if you start your Atmosphere CFW by injecting the corresponding fusee-primary.bin RCM payload from whichever Atmosphere release you are using, you can simply use the fusee.zip

if you start your CFW using hekate, you should evaluate how you are launching CFW before trying to patches. an easy way to launch CFW using hekate that is compatible with all homebrew apps is to just use hekate to launch fusee-primary! you can just use the same fusee patches, you don't need the special files further below. if you accidentally grabbed the special hekate.zip file in the releases pages, that is ok! you can boot with fusee-primary using the hekate.zip, you just can't boot using the fss0 mode below using the fusee.zip. i tried to make it easy and foolproof unless you are using the hacker method in the next section. When I use hekate I just have a one line config entry to boot Atmosphere, after copying my latest fusee-primary.bin into the /bootloader/paylods/ folder.

[Atmosphere CFW]
payload=bootloader/payloads/fusee-primary.bin

here is a helpful guide that my good friend birb wrote on how to launch fusee-primary using hekate and no need for special patches and configs: https://birbchirp.gitbook.io/switchguide/cfw-guides/atmosphere/optional-booting-atmosphere-with-hekate

hello, i do not boot this way, you are probably some kind of a hacker if you are launching with special hekate configs. the important thing to know is that you need to actually grab the special hekate.zip and add some special hacking line kip1patch=nosigchk into your hekate_ipl.ini config file:

[CFW - FSS0 SYS]
fss0=atmosphere/fusee-secondary.bin
kip1patch=nosigchk
emummc_force_disable=1

[CFW - FSS0 EMU]
fss0=atmosphere/fusee-secondary.bin
kip1patch=nosigchk
emummcforce=1

congrats!! you now have patches~

i do not do anything with creating patches, this is just some helpful information for educational purposes. ask a homebrew hacker if you need help patching but remember to always respect all intellectual property rights and all local/international laws.
