Hello

I built a server containing my Nintendo games.

I added the server's address to the tinfoil and it worked perfectly before.

However, recently Tinfoil sometimes does not display new games even though I can access the files in File Browser.

Has anyone ever dealt with this problem? I would be very grateful.

I think I have a similar problem and I can't find out the reason.

Below a picture of my filelisting (on my NAS) and under that Explorer window, my Tinfoil 'shop' on my Switch ("New Games") .
As you can see there are loads of files not showing up on my Switch and I don't have a clue why.

When I do a search ("+" on my Switch) for a game that's not showing up in the list, it sometimes DOES find it there (when searched for) and installs fine, even though the file does not appear as it should in the default listing.

So strange... Anyone any ideas? Thanks!!

Please have a look at the attached files. It's a mystery to my why this happens.
If anyone has any idea of things I could try, please let me know.


EDIT: :rofl2: My bad! Already installed games aren't under "New Games" (by design in Tinfoil). I wasn't aware.
And all XCI files show fine under "XCI" (not under "New Games").

All good I guess!

    That Dell data breach is worse than people probably realize....

    I personally handled a call from the second highest person at Raytheon. That call bothered me a lot... The guy was nice and smart what bothered me was the way management basically just blew him off instead of going the extra mile to help him.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    In the end that call ended up costing Dell millions in lost contracts with Raytheon, and really the issue could have been solved for like 450 bucks lol

    sometimes I wonder why anyone would ever buy mega man x legacy collection 2
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    I always thought that capcom shuffled the games in these collection, but apparently they are all in chronological order, which makes legacy collection 2 worthless
