Finalizing Setup After Completing NH-Server CFW Guide - SysCFW-Only Edition
What you'll need:
Setup:
The guide run by NH Discord doesn't set up sigpatches. These patches are necessary to install game nsps and homebrew nsps (like Tinfoil) successfully. The following steps will help you configure sigpatches on your system.
- Power off your Switch, eject the SD, and connect it to your PC.
- On your PC, navigate to where you downloaded
Sigpatches.zip. Open it, and copy the contents of the zip to your SD card root. Merge files and folders when asked. - Navigate to the
/bootloaderfolder on your SD card, and open the filehekate_ipl.iniwith Notepad. (Right click -> Open With...) - Select everything within the file (CTRL-A), and delete it.
- Next copy and paste the following into the
hekate_ipl.inifile you just cleared out:
- Click File -> Save to save your changes. Close Notepad, and place the SD back in your Switch.
You're good to go! You can now boot Atmosphere FSS0 sysMMC in the Hekate launch menu, and install your games and homebrew.
Editing the Hekate config file above was necessary in order to configure Hekate to load the fs and ldr patches required by homebrew nsps to run. If you were having issues installing Tinfoil before this, this is why.
