Game just will not install (never happened before)

[vgplayer54]

You're probably already fully set up for Hekate's FSS0 method. If you didn't modify the file hekate_ipl.ini that came with your sigpatches, you just need to select the leftmost option in Hekate's main menu (Launch), and then select the CFW you want to launch (Sysmmc or emummc, depending what you have). If you also use sys-patch and the modified fusee.bin, you'd have 3 different options to launch Atmosphere with sigpatches. You should be ok.

Thank you all for your help! I extracted both the Sys-Patch and Sys-Patch 1.5.1 (Both together on the current release of sys-patch on the linked Russian website) to the Root of the SD Card and now was able to install the XCI file using Awoo Installer!

I truly appreciate all your support and hard work helping users like me! Thank you very much and have a great day

Hello everyone,
I've been part of the switch scene for ages and this is the first time I've encountered this issue. I am just trying to install a simple XCI file...easy, right? Apparently not. I tried using Awoo Installer (which is my normal go-to) but, when I go to install it, it gives me Error Code: 0x001fb402 which I've never seen before. A few google searches on this didn't seem to help either. It just said ensure FIrmware is fully updated, SigPatches updated, etc. which they are.

I then tried to install Tinfoil. I downloaded it directly from the Tinfoil.io website, selected the "Tinoil NRO 17.0 Self-Installer" and placed the Tinfoil folder onto SD Card\Switch as per instruction. I see it in the Homebrew menu but, when I select it, it says "Corrupt data has been detected. Please run a check for corrupt data". Great.

Finally, Google recommended DBI. I downloaded the dbi.nro and dbi.config files, placed them in SDCard\switch and, once again, saw DBI in the Homebrew menu. I selected it and installed the XCI file. It's filled with a bunch of green "success" messages. Then, when I return to the switch menu, A new icon pops up but...it's blank with a spinning loading wheel inside it. This stays like that indefinitely. Rebooting does not help. When I go to System Settings - Data Managment - Manage Software to delete it, Atmosphere crashes giving a huge text report.


I've installed many XCIs and NSPs before but this is completely new for me. Anyone have any suggestions?

I'm on Firmware 18.0.1
Atmosphere 1.7.0
Hekate 6.1.1 Nyx 1.6.1
Hekate+AMS-package3-sigpatches-1.7.0p-cfw-18.0.1

I am launching Atmosphere via Hekate using the latest Fusee.

Thank you so much

same boat suddenly, my own fault for updating to fw19 but curious if you resolved? I have a handful of titles that give this sig error then install a blank tile that does not load.

As usual, latest sigpatches can be found in this thread: https://gbatemp.net/threads/sigpatc...-fusee-package3.571543/page-205#post-10517797

Use sys-patch sys module instead of the manual sigpatches pack.

I'm using sys-patch with FW 21 and trying to install the latest XCI but using DBi it just gets to 99% and hangs... with Tinfoil and Lithium both simple report an error and don't install... I have been able to install the update NSP but not the XCI...

Any help would be great thanks!

Make sure you're using the latest DBI. Currently, it's v849. Use the Russian version, just to make sure no tomfoolery is happening because of a hacked english version. It might also be your XCI that is defective. Do check its integrity with NxFileViewer. If it's broken, find another source to download it.

Let me have a wild guess - metroid prime 4? Nsz version worked fine with fw 20.3.0 and 845-en.

That was through MTP. If installing through FTP, disable MSG_WAITALL in settings.

It is but through usb and direct from SD... I don't know about MSG_WAITALL but will try to find it...
Thanks

Many thanks, will check the file but sure it's the same version as everyone else is using... I'll try the Russian version
