sys-patch is a sysmodule that patches fs, ldr, es and nifm on boot. This has the same effect as sigpatches.

The benefit of sys-patch is that it only needs updating when something major breaks, the last time this happened was fw 15.0.0.

Another benefit is patching ldr will (likely) never need to be updated. In the past, if a silent atmosphere update happened, this would break sigpatches (unless you updated them again).

sys-patch also outputs a log where you can see which patches are applied, which one failed and some other useful data. You can manually read the log or use the overlay, which you can also use to change the config.

Sigpatch-updater was updated to support updating and auto running sys-patch. This means that you can update and apply patches without having to reboot, which is pretty cool.

For now, I wouldn't recommend completely replacing sigpatches with this, I'd more so use it as a companion / fallback should you forget to update patches, sys-patch should continue to work.

For any issues, please open them on GitHub :)

You need something like this to run "backup" nsps on your Switch. Before, you'd have to download signature patches, which typically change with each major firmware/atmosphere update. Now you can just run this system extension in the background, and it should be one less thing you have to worry about when updating.

    LOL! I'd lmao if they put a gay ride in the little arcade section they have in this walmart. It could be like the horses rides you put quarters in, except it would be like the ambiguously gay duo cartoon & you sit on top of the other guy thats in a "flying" position. LMAO!

    You'd think you could make deals with local farmers

    It makes the trip even more worth it if I'm out of my medication and need to stop by the medical dispensary. I try to line the two up to avoid extra trips.

    They passed a city ordinance last month. No smoking cannabis in public. Not even eating gummies. $300 fine and misdemeanor charge if caught. People can walk down the street smoking cigs and tossing the butts all over, but God forbit someone take a couple puffs of their medication.

  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    First off, it's recreationally legal here. Secondly, I have a prescription from my doctor and approved by the state. But still a fucking criminal.

  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Like at bars. Cant sit outside even in the smoking section and take a few puffs. Yet I have to breath the cig smoke from 20 people chain smoking all night in every direction around me.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Honestly I feel like Trump is going to crush Biden just because of the trial
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    They cite
    public health and safety concerns" LMAO!!! Yet they do nothing about the poison drinking water quality.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    The look at how they treated me card is powerful within dumb voters
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    A Trump win is certainly a possibility. If he's reelected, 4 more years then no one has to worry about him being president ever again. I survived last time, I'll survive it if there's a next time. Don't know how anyone could vote for the guy, but I'm also not anyone else but me.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Honestly things were cheaper with Trump but that's tounge and cheek could be exactly the same outcome if he won reelection
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    All of the fake "Christians" vote for him even though he's broken like 8 of the 10 commandments... that we know of. Maybe all 10. LOL

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    A president is just a public figure within America

    I like when he says stuff like "They are preventing me from talking!!!" Wait. What? You mean the person that is literally talking right now.. is being prevented from talking? LOL! Gag order also does not apply to taking the stand. He's free to say whatever he'd like. lolol
