This fork comes in two variations;
variation 1: regular hbmenu as hbmenu.nro (sphaira not included)
variation 2: sphaira as hbmenu.nro (hbmenu inside of /switch/hbmenu.nro)
Sphaira has reached a point where it is suitable to replace hbmenu, and with the patches integrated, it is a better fit for this fork.
embeds patches into loader (for exefs_patches) through a sys-patch like pattern mechanic.
modifies loader for "loader_kip_patch"
embeds sys-patch-like mechanic into mesosphere for "fs_kip_patch" (both fusee and hekate boot supported)
("why does this exist? > why not)
("why not just use sys-patch?" -> sys-patch uses svcdebug to edit memory of already running applications, embedding patches into loader and mesosphere before the processes can be more reliable)
