Hello,
I recently purchased an Organelle from Ebay and wanted to start fresh. The operating system is V.1 and no matter what I try the screen always reads “no patches found”.
I would like to:
Could someone point me in the right direction to doing this? I’ve tried a bunch of suggestions on the forms and nothing works.
Thank you,
Eric
welcome , hope you have some fun with your new organelle 
ok lets start from the beginning.
to run patches, you don’t have to have the latest OS (which i’ll cover in next post), so first step is perhaps just having fun with OS 1.0.
patches not found… you need to have a USB stick with a patches folder, and install patches into it, these can all be downloaded from organelle.io
note: some patches will need the later 2.1/3.0 OS, see next post.
next step…
so you dont have to be on the latest OS, for patches to work, but its a good idea to get it up to date
you have two options
a) upgrade to 2.1, then 3.0
run
http://thepeacetreaty.org/organelle/patches/Update-OS-v2.1.zip
then after this, run
http://thepeacetreaty.org/organelle/patches/UpdateOS-3.0.zip
b) upgrade the SD card to 2.1, the upgrade to 3.0
(this is my preferred approach, but requires you have an sdcard reader on your pc/mac)
download
http://thepeacetreaty.org/organelle/diskimages/20170622-v2.1.img
then use etcher (etcher.io) to ‘burn’ the sdcard
then upgrade to 3.0
http://thepeacetreaty.org/organelle/patches/UpdateOS-3.0.zip
of course you will still need to bring the patches on to your usb stick 
And once you want to explore more patches, head over to https://patchstorage.com or the patching subforum on here.
Welcome Eric!
