Signature Patches

Signature patches are created to be used alongside Atmosphere for loading certain homebrew from the home menu.

How to install Signature Patches

1. Download the latest release.

   • If you use fusee-primary.bin to boot into atmosphere, download fusee.zip.
   • If you use fusee-secondary.bin to boot into atmosphere, download hekate.zip.
   • If you're unsure on which release to get then check your hekate_ipl.ini file located in your /bootloader/ folder.
     • If you have no such file, then get the fusee.zip release.
     • If you see the following line payload=bootloader/payloads/fusee-primary.bin in your hekate_ipl.ini file, download fusee.zip.
     • If you see the following line fss0=atmosphere/fusee-secondary.bin in your hekate_ipl.ini file, download hekate.zip.

2. Unzip the release you've chosen into the root of your SD card.

   • Make sure to click yes for overwriting any files and merging folders.
   • Make sure the /atmosphere/ folder in the zip merges with the atmosphere folder on your SD card! You should not have an /atmosphere/atmosphere/ folder, nor should you have an /sd/, /fusee/, or /hekate/ folder on your SD card.

3. Boot into atmosphere. You should now be using signature patches.

Hekate Patches (EZ Mode)

If you wish to start your CFW with Hekate, we highly suggest chainloading fusee-primary. This is the best method to boot Atmosphere without directly pushing fusee-primary.bin.

To chainload atmosphere place the latest fusee-primary.bin in /bootloader/payloads/ then edit your hekate_ipl.ini to contain the following,

[Atmosphere CFW]
payload=bootloader/payloads/fusee-primary.bin

Hekate Patches (fss0 Hard Mode)

I do not boot this way, and I suggest you don't either. The important thing to know about this method is that you need to grab the special hekate.zip and then edit your hekate_ipl.ini to contain kip1patch=nosigchk. Like this:

[CFW - FSS0 SYS]
fss0=atmosphere/fusee-secondary.bin
kip1patch=nosigchk
emummc_force_disable=1

[CFW - FSS0 EMU]
fss0=atmosphere/fusee-secondary.bin
kip1patch=nosigchk
emummcforce=1
