Update patches from previous kobopatch?
I recall doing this once quite some time ago. Someone posted a method that involved simply editing the firmware version named in one of the kobopatch files. It worked fine but since it's been so long since I've tried it, I wanted to be sure of which files I need to edit to update my Sage with patches now that it's running the latest firmware update.

Using the method above, all of my favourite patches from kobopatch_4.38.21908 worked on the Aura H2O except:
'Increase size of kepub chapter progress chart'
and
'Don't uppercase header/footer text'
neither of which are essential for me so I'm happy.

I patched yesterday without problems.

Just to make sure I (and anyone else coming here who isn't a "Kobo Wizard & MobileReads Lore Master ") understand:

The above "trick" allows one to apply KoboPatch v.84 (which targets Kobo Firmware 4.38.21908) to the 4.38.23038 Kobo Firmware (released late June 2024) for those impatient to wait for KoboPatch v.85.

Caveat is that not all patches for previous firmware will work in the new one (as two subsequent posts have already remarked). More precisely, it is not yet known what will or will not work.

So do this only if you really can't wait for the new firmware and you can live with the patches being, well, patchy (until v.85 comes around).

Is that about right?

That's correct. I've just applied the patches and from the patches I use, there are the ones that do not apply.
  • Don't uppercase header/footer text and change page number text
  • Increase size of kepub chapter progress chart
This patch does apply.
Custom header/footer page number text

So it seems to me that most patches will apply as is and it will need a lot more work when we finally go the the version 5 firmware.
