I have this on an OLD TXT on my hard drive:
*ES patches stand for Eticket Services.*
ES Patches are required to:
These are needed for run and install raw and untouched .NSP files either dumped from Nintendo's CDN or someone's console.
ES patches are additionally needed to run pirated commercial NSPs.
ES patches specifically pertain to dumped eShop titles.
ES Patches are NOT required to:
Run installed XCI
Run installed NRO forwarders.
Run homebrew
Install XCI files.
*FS patches are short for fs_nosigchk.*
which allow the usage of converted .NSP files such as homebrew .NSP files or .XCI converts.
FS Patches required to:
FS patches are need to install/run NSPs of any kind.
Run installed XCI/NRO forwarders, and will give a corruption error when trying to run the installed XCI or NRO forwarder if no fs patches are applied or are wrong (you will also need to reinstall the game or nro forwarder if this happens).
The FS patches allow the usage of converted NSP files, such as homebrew on NSP files or converted XCI files.
FS patches are required to install/run NSP and XCI (without needing to convert the header) files.
Fs Patches not required to:
Run installed NSP files with valid tickets.
Run Homebrew
Install NSP/XCI - (with a valid header)
ACID PATCHES
ACID patches aren't required to boot any type of backup but provide a speed boost when installing .XCI files if active
ACID patches just remove another signature check.
