*Guide updated to be 100% offline&

A quick guide for whoever is interested. (GUIDE AND FILES FOR 5.1 ONLY!)


- Download the package.zip attached (credits to user blahblah and Kolunio)

- Extract all of its contents into the root of your SD Card

- Download Pokemon Quest .NSP and put it in X:\Tinfoil\nsp

- Download Devmenu (google is your friend)

- Place the 2 folders of the DevMenu (exefs and romfs) to X:\atmosphere\titles\01005D100807A000

- Boot your switch into RCM and inject the hekate payload (original or ctcaer should work I used the hekate_ctcaer one)

- Open album to go to HB menu and from there open Tinfoil.

- Install Pokemon Quest.

- Exit Tinfoil and HBmenu.

- Open Pokemon Quest and you are done!

If you have no idea how to install nsp files.

I installed Mario Odyssey with the lastest update and worked just fine!


PS: If you download nsp with too long filenames you might get an error when installing. Just rename to a short name and you will be good. Thanks to ali.ee for that info.

Depends on HOW you install them. Using devmenu is pretty much a guaranteed ban, even if it's not instant

And what if you use Tinfoil?

 

[Ashura66]

And what if you use Tinfoil?

You'l probably still get banned, especially if you try going online but the chances are lower. though keep in mind that tinfoil can not install DLC for the time being

 

[BlastedGuy9905]

if you try going online

Online in general, or try to play multiplayer with the installed .nsp files?

Better safe than sorry and say online in general. It's a rule of thumb that if you want to avoid or at least lower chances of being banned you should always stay in Airplane more or completely delete your connection settings to that there is no way your system can connect to the internet

What's the point of not being banned if you're always offline?

But why this guide doesn't uses Pokemon? Is it really necessary?

This guide avoids using devmenu, while our current guide intentionally trying to get devmenu running.

It's to prevent online cheating. If Nintendo detects you are using non legal games or have a system running CFW the first thing they do is ban your account from their online gaming servers to prevent cheating in online games. However they can also ban you from the E-Shop and reportedly can also ban your console's cert ID, meaning you wont even get sys updates from themanymore

So this is a guide on how to install NSP files but it doesn't explain how to install NSP files? lol

No this is mostly a guide on how to get devmenu working. Installing nsp files is pretty self explanatory. Not to mention a thread is linked in the OP

There's a link with pictures on the first post.... You probably missed it....

That is not the answer to my question.

 

[Ashura66]

That is not the answer to my question.

Look the point of not being banned is because on the Switch it's not just an account ban that happens, it's also console bans. And if your console gets hit by a CDN ban, you wont even be able to get sys updates from them. But if you want to risk it or if you don't care about online like me, then by all means go for it

I need a NSP to XCI converter... xD

Why? Just install the nsp file

 

[Ashura66]

By the way quick question: Does it matter which region of Pokemon Quest i use? Does it have to be a specific region or would either USA/EUR region work? Do they have the same ID?

 

[huma_dawii]

Why? Just install the nsp file

I want my games to be able to move wherever I want to.. not being stuck in my SD card in some weird file folders that wont work if I move to another console.

Error when install the zelda dlc.

Did you had zelda installed already? Did you install the DLC in the same place (SD or system) ?

I'm stuck: I used to have pokemon quest official version updated from eshop.
First time doing the tuto I tried to launch directly pokemon quest, it ended up in an error.
Then I removed pokemon quest from the switch, shutdown to rcm, I put the pokemon quest NSP on microsd and then booted with hekate.
I installed pokemon ques NSP with tinfoil but when I try to launch pokemon quest, it detect that there was previously an updated version and ask to update instead of loading devmenu...

What can I do ?
