Description:

Well as most of the methods is involving going to the eShop to get "Pokemon Quest" which is a concern for some people specially who want to stay offline for now until everything cleared up well using this quick way you don't have to

Requirements:

• Switch with FW 5.1.0 (if you are on lower firmware use the @rajkosto method here for upgrading without burning fuses)
• Flashback Game Backup in XCI format.
• DevMenu Files (google it).
• Optional: Hulu App NSP "to replace the Falshback as it is smaller size".

Steps:

1. get "flashback" game xci backup or cartage
2. Spoiler: make folder in root of memory card sxos/titles/{flashback title id}/{devmenu folders/files}

   make folder in root of memory card sxos/titles/{flashback title id}/{devmenu folders/files}

   
3. get the devmenu "search for it on the internet" and backup a copy somewhere
4. Spoiler: change the exefs/main.npdm hex values "for the devmenu" using HxD or any hex editor program

   change the exefs/main.npdm hex values "for the devmenu" using HxD or any hex editor program

   
5. Spoiler: Offset: 0x290 to 0000010000000001 0000C504000A0001 . and Offset: 0x460 to 0000C504000A0001

6. save the file and copy the "sxos" folder and "flashback.xci" and the NSP files "you need to install to the root of the microSD card
7. Spoiler: lunch SX OS and load the flashback game from the album

   lunch SX OS and load the flashback game from the album

   
8. Spoiler: open the game as it will lunch the dev menu

   open the game as it will lunch the dev menu

   
9. Spoiler: choose install from sd card on top

   choose install from sd card on top (if hanged or touch not responsive close the game and open again) you can install titles directly on system storage or memory card (as some games takes alot of space as xci but from shop is 75% smaller like "SteamWorld Dig 2"

   
10. the installed titles will show up after closing the flashback game.
11. enjoy

flashback titleID is: 01000A0004C50000 and i might do a video as well


UPDATE:

Hulu App "NSP" can be installed by the devmenu for on 1st launch and used to replace "flashback" afterwards to reduce space on memory card or to be able to play the flashback game you still need the correct files for the devMenu modified for Hulu though (Tested with correct files thanks @willhack )

Hulu titleID is: 0100a66003384000

I read somewhere here that it also works for Bayonetta as well. Could someone clarify?

Bayonetta and Super Mario Odyssey have both been confirmed working. They're just much larger titles than Pokemon Quest.

Dis the good shit. Should help me on my road to a full heel turn, meh heh heh

 

[Luhof]

Idk the size of a flashback backup, but the icon of the game looks more "hacky/keygen-y" than Quest. So that's a plus.

i take it this will not work with 4.10 ?
thanks

 

[Tobi1001]

I`m on 4.1.0 and it gives me a freeze.

Only showing the nintendo logo in the upper left and the Switch logo in the lower right. Needs a hardreset.

Im pretty sure that it doesnt work because of 4.1

 

[robertorpg94]

works in 5.1?

 

[Draxzelex]

Since this involves using LayeredFS on SX OS, it will only work on firmware 5.1 because those are the firmwares they support. LayeredFS through Atmosphere works on firmwares 4.1 and above but installed .NSP won't work without SX OS because Atmosphere lacks the necessary signature patches.

I use Hulu. Doesn't take much memory. Installed on the Nswitch so I can switch SD cards. If you don't have Hulu installed then you're still going to need this method to install Hulu nsp

That's why I said after using this guide the best option (imo) is to install Hulu nsp on system memory. To use as dev menu

 

[Drban789]

Can i download the DLC language packs NSPs and install it on my SD. I have the XCI games installed on my Switch already with SX 1.3

 

[Tanureh]

Well, mine is freezing when launching Flashback. I suppose it's something in my SD, any procedure I can make? Like format it in some specific way etc...
