Forgive my inability, thanks
You need three things to prepare the patch:

1. kpg.exe -- get this from a recent Patcher archive.

2. libnickel.so.1.0.0 -- get this from the firmware archive for your device on the first page of the Direct Links to Kobo Firmware thread. Inside the kobo-update-3.1.0.zip archive is another archive KoboRoot.tgz. Inside KoboRoot.tgz is the file usr/local/Kobo/libnickel.so.1.0.0 that you need.

3. kpg.conf -- Create this yourself using the patches for the new firmware posted in this thread. DNSB posted an example with most of the patches for 3.1.0 here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...&postcount=539

Put them all together in a directory and run kpg.exe as normal.
