Firmware Supported: 5.x.x
(for other firmwares, we need a way to patch a kernel.bin thats on 4.x.x firmware, but no such tool exists yet)
DOWNLOAD
- Go from NOTHING in your SD Card to playing a game backup in a few clicks!
- Decrypt .XCI -> romfs/exefs folder with main.nmpd auto edited aswell as folder's name auto renamed to donor titleid
- Download NOTHING except LFSKit!
ENJOY!
(Source very soon, don't trust? then dont run. The filesize is because it contains all the necessary binaries like hactool, rcm smasher e.t.c)
- A donor title is the application we will run to open the backup.
Pick a game you don't care about (Download a Demo or a free game from eShop, for example Octopath Demo)
saves are something no one knows much about, we don't fully know where or how they are stored.
They might overwrite the donor titles save, so seriously pick a game you DONT care about, not a game you rarely play.
- I also recommend picking a donor title/game combo that has been tested and reported working just so you know if YOU did something wrong or not.
- Look below for the Title ID or google it and remember it, jot it down on Notepad, we will need it later.
- Once again, boot into Hekate-IPL (Step 1).
- Enter "Launch firmware" and select "RomFS".
- Your now in your system's home menu.
- Open the Donor Title you set the TitleID of on that folder and .npmd file earlier.
- The game will load up flawlessly.
If you opened the Title lets say, Fortnite, and Fortnite booted, the titleid of the folder in sd:/atmosphere/titles/{fortnitetitleid} doesnt exist, or doesnt start with 0100.
If it gives you an error screen, either you didnt edit the main.npmd properly, or its an incompatible title/donor combo.
To see which games work and which dont using which donor titles, look below.
If you notice that you used a combination of Game and Donor title that isnt in the list below, post in the thread and I will add it. (look under to see what I need to add to chart).

(never use the "Update" title id's even if your title is updated and always use the same region of the installed title)

If the title is infinitely loading or black screen, leave it for roughly 5 minutes, press home button, go back into the donor title and see if it loads.
Some games just need a little push.
I have a theory that some games work and some dont due to SD Card and LayeredFS filesize reading limitations.
Of course, I could be wrong, but is it really a coincidence most of the BIG games dont run?
If a title FREEZES when loading, just close the game and try again. Try 3-4 times. If it still freezes, try rebooting.
Some testers had freezes on games for ex: DOOM + Fortnite(donor) yet some testers did that combo, and got through.

Post the game name, donor name tried, firmware (probably 5.1.0).
If it boots I also need to know if it saves or not
- Get one of these games on your switch installed normally, no layeredfs stuff with them: Fallout Shelter, ARMS, Blaster Master Zero, Kitten Squad, Pinball FX3, I Am Setsuna
- Lets say you have Fallout Shelter, Use that as a Donor Title to load Dragon Quest Builders.
- Now, also use Dragon Quest Builders as a donor title to load Fire Emblem Warriors.
I wanna see if you can get from Fallout Shelter->Dragon Quest Builders->Fire Emblem Warriors, just from boot a free game like Fallout Shelter lmao
Seems fortnite is a good title to test with. Apparently using Fortnite as a Target Title and redirecting Axiom Verge works but I havent tried myself.
1-2-Switch seems to not work for anything, possibly as it doesnt use User-Accounts?
