How do i use it ?/Apply it ?

This is an overlay. You need Tesla+ovlloader on your SD. And this release ofc.

What about nfim and otherr patches?

TBH, most people don't use those or even know what they are - 99% only need ES/FS and Loader. The other minor group probably already know how to get the other patches. Also you can still use sig patches along with this, it has no impact on them.

For the longest time, I had no idea what ctest patches did. I thought it was something to do with being able to perform a connection test in settings whilst blocking nintendo using dns mitm haha (this is not the case).

I may add ctest patch, but will need to look into changing the patch applied to stop core3 occasionally running at 100%. I've personally not seen it happen but it's been reported a few times.

What other patches do you have in mind?

Have you noticed or had reported this issue? https://github.com/misson20000/exefs_patches/issues/30

I'm not sure if the patches shipped have already fixed this issue, I'll ask them shortly

TBH, I have never noticed an issue and have had this patch on my switch since firmware 11.0.0. Then again my wifi is always on the interent.

Nice. I guess I could add ctest but make it optional. In fact, I could make each patch optional (although enabled by default). Not sure why someone would want to disable patching fs,es,ldr for example, but it might it easier to debug things later down the line if something seriously breaks.

What do you think?

 

[GILLIO]

Thanks!! Will try this at home.

Being able to disable individual patches would be fine for debugging. For example this doesn't use file hashes now, so somehow if a patch was applied at boot and somehow broke the firmware the switch would crash, not that I am saying this is likely to happen, but at least with the ini you could could disable to find out what was causing that if it happened.

No, you only need the tesla+ovl Loader if you want to manage the sys-patch from tesla menu.

 

[BaamAlex]

No, you only need the tesla+ovl Loader if you want to manage the sys-patch from tesla menu.

And you need the sys-patch.ovl to use it with tesla. Sys-patch is not integrated into tesla. You need tesla, ovlloader and sys-patch.

Thx, for the answer, but if i choose (in de Release Section of the github Page) the "no Overlay" ZIP, do i need the ovl loader and Tesla Menu?

Or could i only copy the contents of the "no-Overlay" ZIP to my root of the SD?

 

[BaamAlex]

When you want to use the overlay, you need the overlay zip. Not the "no overlay.zip". Otherwise, yes. When you don't want to use the non overlay version, you download this and copy it to your sd.

 

[Blauhasenpopo]

Yes, if i don't want to have the overaly, i choose the "No-Overlay" ZIP and copy the Contnets of the ZIP to the root of SD and maintain it with the:

https://github.com/ITotalJustice/sigpatch-updater

Right ?

 

[BaamAlex]

Correct.

 

[TotalJustice]

Yes, if i don't want to have the overaly, i choose the "No-Overlay" ZIP and maintain it with the:

Right ?

sigpatch updater will currently fetch the zip that includes the overlay. maybe i should've just had one release in order to not confuse people with which zip they should get. downside of getting the full release is that 300kb of sd card space will be used for an overlay that you may not use, which isn't really that big of a deal to most i think i'll just have it be one zip file in the next release.

 

[Blauhasenpopo]

In my opinion, and for the convenience, i would prefer the 2 ZIPs, cause i don't need the Overlay stuff as non Developer, is it a hard task to let the sigpatch updater choose out of the two?

I don't need the whole overlay stuff, in general.

I just asking for a friend

no, its not a hard task. But i do see it being an issue for some in the support channels of those asking "which one should i get?" or "my overlay is missing, help!", so maybe having just one release will simplify things and prevent any user errors, at the cost of a very small overlay always being installed

So, there you go

If i download the ZIP with the overlay and only copy the atmosphere Folder to my SD, that's the same, right ? (It acts like the non overlay version)
