I'm pretty sure you are wrong. And here's why:

Fat Sha256: D0D4491814B562AF61ABD52E4BF0989405AF741A5C7C033AB3EB0EC8680AD98F
Exfat Sha256: 34C0D9ED6AD1873DCD02F1C12AFA20546D033EFB1D8EB9B7A8E5ABAB71F39F43

fat -
patch 1 = offset: 06ECA4, patch: E0 03 1F 2A
patch 2 = offset: 12BE7C, patch: 1F 20 03 D5


exfat -
patch 1 = offset: 06ECA4 , patch: E0 03 1F 2A
patch 2 = offset: 12BE7C , patch: 1F 20 03 D5


Look at the routine difference between patch 2 on fat and exfat - they are totally different so one of the offsets is wrong. Both functions should look the exact same. Patch locations are highlighted in red.

If the exfat patches are correct, well the correct offset for fat patch 2 should be - 0x120EEC and if the fat patches are correct, well then the offset in the exfat patch 2 is wrong - so either both ips patches are wrong or one of them is wrong.
0x120EEC this is the offset that the hekate patches.ini are using for fat, it looks like the .ips files have the contents duplicated, so this would only affect people not using the exfat driver that boot with fusee.bin and not package3. Either way, patch 2 is the XCI Header patch which no one even uses unless you run this tool: https://github.com/AcK77/XCIRepacker

Sig patches don't seem to work for me. I'm getting the error "Failed to apply nosigchk" when trying to boot up on emuMMC despite updating to the sigpatches in the download. I kinda wish I hadn't updated my switch lol

Read the op correctly and for which atmosphere and firmware version they are ;)

Just as a reminder, I'll hold off on updating the OP with the sigpatches for FW 15 and Atmos 1.4.0, mostly until it's been confirmed that a batch is working without issues and includes all the patches for all the modules and other stuff. :P
Good call, NRO forwarding is not working for me, and some converted nsp to xci install but give issues when trying to run. Homebrew works and so does nsp installs. But for now I would also wait and stick on Fw14.0.2 until all the bugs are solved. Even on FW14.0.2, I get random console crashes with the new Atmosphere so I reverted back to the previous version until it's out of pre-release state.

That's your hekate_ipl.ini file that's giving you that error. You can remove the nosigchk bit and it should fix it.

What did you use to convert an NSP to XCI, that had issues?
No bugs have been reported for the pre-release so the same build will likely be posted as the release unless you open an issue with the crash logs you experienced.

Switch Army Knife. I've used that quite a bit and never really had any issues with it.
https://github.com/dezem/SAK

I've disabled all logging and I can't be bothered messing about any further. I've gone back to 14.0.2 firmware and the last Atmosphere version as there were too many issues for now. One major one that was getting on my nerves was chainloading fusee.bin from hekate as this would often black screen on me and require a hard reset on the switch, it was OK loading from hekate_ipl.ini file and calling package3 though.

Just to confirm, you converted an NSP to an XCI and then installed the XCI, and it wouldn't start with the sigmapatches? But installing the NSP directly worked fine?

You disabled crash reports? What setting did you change to disable the reports? I haven't run into any issues on Atmosphere 1.4.0 and there are still no error reports. If you had repro steps that produced the crash I can try to see if I experience it on either 15.0.0 or downgrade to 14.1.2 to open up an issue on the pre-release.

Yep I converted some stuff to xci to test. Nope the games wouldn't work, one even told me I needed a linked account (Galaga) when I tried to launch, even though the nsp needed no such requirements. I didn't change a setting to disable logs - there's an easier way and that's just to make a blank file with the same name of the folders that store logs, delete the folder and put the blank file with the same name in it's place.

I converted Drawful 2 eshop dump to XCI using SAK and it is playing fine for me after I installed with today's DBI release.

using fusee.bin to boot?

I just checked dbi github about an hour ago and there wasn't a new release - I'll check again later. I've just had my dinner and am going for a snooze. Still thanks for the heads up, maybe the issue is on my end. I'll try a new micro sd card and clean install of everything. I'm booting via chainloading through Hekate, maybe that's why I am having issues.

How can I revert back to FW 14.0.2 and previous version of atmosphere? what about hekate, should I revert that one back too if possible?

Everything is working fine for me with sigmapatches, even Tinfoil now that it's updated and the hbmenu launcher that Tinfoil creates when you launch retro ROMs with it.

creating a blank file with the same name as the log folders caused a lot of Atmosphere crashes for me. Deleted and I'm no longer having crashes. I also tried compiling 1.4.0 pre-release myself with the RAM OC patches applied (along with compiling minerva with a higher RAM frequency) and haven't had any crashes. Playing the new Xenoblade 3 DLC just fine with enhanced graphics + ReverseNX-RT, Emuiibo worked to get the daily bonuses.

Sigmpatches is working great on my end. No System Crash so far. Have drained my battery from 100% down to 5% Playing Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak. 410 hrs total play time so far...

All it need is just an update for the homebrews to support v15.0.0.

NXThemeInstaller just upped their latest patch for v15.0.0. The newest Patch is automatically downloaded as soon as you start NXThemeInstaller while being connected to the WiFi.

Anybody who has issues using Edizon (via Tesla overlay) after updating to FW 15.0.0? I can open the menu once, but can't use edizon to select cheats. After selecting Edizon I can't open the Tesla overlay menu anymore.
