Not sure if this has been posted, however: FROM TX (SXOS Core or SX Lite users)

To all if you are using SX Core or SX Lite, do NOT use Tinfoil's Incognito feature. This will cause a brick and we're not sure it's even reversable. For those that bricked their units with ChoiDujourNX, sit tight. We have a solution in the works.

Regards, and you have been warned.....

Gambia, The
Have Sx OS and tried to install this from the .nro from the website.
Prior deleted every tinfoil folder.
When opening the .nro it shows the switch logo and just switches to the home menu. The tinfoil app seems to be installed, but even after restarting the app just starts and without an error message goes back to home menu.

Any help?

Is there any way to actually exit the app on the current version?
The HOME button is completely disabled and exiting the app doesn't really close it.

Did you bother asking in the discord server? Of course it works on SXOS 3.0.4
I don't even know what is a discord server... :shy:

Another noob question. What is the difference between Tinfoil and HBG Shop? Is it just the possibility to download games/updates/DLC from the Switch itself?

The only difference between HBG and Tinfoil is HBG is Tinfoil with links to a repository of games, updates, and DLC.

Exactly. Anyone could just just paste the hbg url into a vanilla Tinfoil and has HBG.

Btw I "solved" my home button problem:
The home button is locked when there's a download going on. Abort it in the queue if u have to close Tinfoil for any reason.

I have a switch Mariko with sx core. I've read HBG and Tinfoil are possible not compatible.
Are there more users with Mariko and sx core they can suggest me any compatible one?

I have two switches in my household. 1 running atmosphere, and one with sx os paid software and when I install hbg/tinfoil 7.01- I still do not have access to pictures of the games under the new games section, it just displays table format.
Also agreeing with Reecey - I cant find any info about where there is a charge for hbg shop for any kind of membership

I found the tier structure and donation information on the HBG discord.
Can you share the tier structure?

I was good on my switch lite until R58- the most recent update. for some reason any file downloaded through it destroys my EmuNand. R57 was perfect though

This could be a software issue but for me this behavior (on a v1 Switch atmosphere emunand) was a prelude to my SD card losing the ability to write altogether. (i.e. it wore out its writes and locked itself) Now I don't use emunand anymore and have had no issues.

    @Psionic Roshambo, The Wii U gamepads are tied to the console's region, so its impossible to find a cheap gamepad that supports your model.

    @Xdqwerty can we discuss chrono trigger
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @Xdqwerty I like how the game had the middle ages 1000AD, the dark ages 600AD.It was great seeing the post robot apocalypse 2300 like Terminator and enter the matrix. some of mad max and fallout. 2300ad though it could had used more elements instead of just a generic ai uprising. It was a great idea for their judgement day to be 1999 Y2K.

    -great additions if they would have made an expansion or dlc in my opinion would be finding out humans trapped in a matrix -

    a follower having a cyborg character living tissue over metal endoskelleton like terminator, and the synths from fallout
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    4After Zeal fell it would have been good to see more ancient eras. Perhaps Sumeria based in one area, then Egypt based in another area, Greek based in another area, then roman based in another area before the middle ages.---------

    ----between 1000ad and 1999 is a big gap they should have had the age of revolution like the american and French Revolution

    then the cowboyy era in one area of map and the Industrial revolution/age of enlightmentthen a ww1 and ww2 and a cold war era
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    they could have added 75,000 bc like assassins creed. zeal was already establish in 12, 000 bc , soething before the kindom rose
