AIO-switch-updater

While this app will still work, I recommend using AIO-switch-updater which adds QOL improvements such as not overwriting hekate_ipl etc

sigpatches-updater

GitHub All Releases

A Nintendo Switch homebrew to fetch and extract the latest sigpatches

How to install/use

This works for both Hekate and fusee-primary injection

Drop the sigpatches-installer directory from the releases in your /switch/ directory on your SD card
Launch the app through the homebrew menu and select the patches you want

FAQ

What are sigpatches?

Sigpatches allow your Switch to install and run unofficial NSP file (digital titles that appear on the home menu).
Note that you must use CFW to launch these applications even after installation as sigpatches are always required to do so.

Which sigpatches should I chose?

If you're entering Atmosphere by injecting the "fusee-primary.bin" payload, download the appropriate sigpatches. If you're using Hekate and "fss0", get the Hekate sigpatches.

Where do those sigpatches come from?

The sigpatches are, as of now, pulled directly from the Gbatemp threads. You can find the links the homebrew uses here. Because those links are updated with a cron job, the links might be down for a little bit right after new sigpatches are uploaded to Gbatemp. If this persists and the links remain broken please open an issue and i'll investigate.

Legality?

Please only use sigpatches to install backups of games you own, or homebrew applications you are allowed to install. Using sigpatches is legal, and I am not hosting sigpatches myself. This tool merely automates a process that is routinely done by thousands of Switch owners.
