The only executable in the bin folder is the windows .exe file, all the others appear to be simple text files. I am thinking that this may be part of the issue that causes Terminal to throw a permission denied error.

However, I got the same results with the macOS executable posted earlier in this thread, so I think it may be another issue that is stopping the process from running.

I have tested an earlier version of the patches (4.37.21533) and have no problem regenerating them so it is something specific to this version for 4.38.23429.

Does anyone have any ideas for making this work for macOS 26?

Try downloading the patcher from https://github.com/pgaskin/kobopatch...es/tag/v0.16.0 and ee what happens. The Mac and Linux patchers are not text files. They are very much binary.

Is anyone else with a MAc having trouble with the patches using the newest ZIP file in the first post of this thread?

Thanks, Jon. I tried that as well. The only Mac file that downloaded as a binary file was the one another user posted a few days ago. The error occurred with that one as well. I have no idea where to look to fix the issue. Comparing the files for the 2 different patch versions I do not see anything that is different except the kobopatch file and at that point I have reached the terminal depth of my programing knowledge.

Maybe someone else has a clue where to look and any idea how to fix it. If not I will just have to stay on firmware 4.37.

I have managed to convince Terminal that it is an executable binary and the patcher did run until it reached the Customize ComfortLight patch where it could not find the offset.

Commenting out that patch allowed it to finish.

That's good to know the Mac program works.

I posted in the other thread about this patch. If it gets fixed, I'll update the ZIP file in the first post.
