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.

with all the advances in both homebrew and sx-os I just updated to officially. I don't think I'll ever have to go back to a lower firmware now. I don't mind loosing warmboot as I have 2 sx-pro and it's probably quicker to use the dongle than to access a website everytime I have to reboot which is hardly ever.

Thanks for the reply. I'm planning update my 3.0.2 to 5.1.0. Should I make nand backup for 3.0.2, or backup after update to 5.1.0?

I would backup both versions. Upgrade without burning fuses and you have the possibility to downgrade once there is a coldboot solution available. Check hekate settings for card slot firmware (posted in the hekate sigpatch ctcaer thread)

AFAIK in updated versions of ReiNX you can install nsp files with 4.x, am I right? COukd you please update you tutorial?

Can i play online without getting banned with these .nsp files?

You will get banned the second you install an nsp (unless you dumped it).

No you wont, stop spreading lies

No you can not, you will be banned if you try going online

You are basically put in a situation where you would get banned. If you aren't gonna go online, there is no point of not being banned.

It's not an INSTANT ban, regardless. It will only happen during the next big ban wave. The only more or less instant bans are CDN bans

Either way, you would get banned by using an unsigned nsp (and connecting online), even if it wasn't instant.

You do NOT get banned JUST for installing the .NSP. You have to actually CONNECT and TRY to play online for the ban to happen

Play online with any game, or just the nsp?

does install official update on nsp backup result instant detection and ban?
i install update offline with nsp all the time. just wonder if can do the same as xci for installed backup

As long as you don't go online, your chances of being detected are minimal. As for official updates,as long as you don't download them via your console you should be fine

IF you play a game that you own WHILE running a CFW you will be detected and banned, even if you own the game legit. IF you're not running CFW, you SHOULD be fine. again, SHOULD, it's still widely unknown how Nintendo's detection actually works

Ok, i need help here: I had to replace my memory card recently and as such i had to re install pokemon quest via tinfoil but i'm not managing to do so, it always throws me an error saying failed to read nsp header into buffer error code 0X0000d401

Where does ti foil install the files too exactly. Got a botw nsp got the error, renamed it to just zelda and still get install error. Copied a new file over also renamed and failed but all other games worked fine. So do i have a bad file or did it install files and its just stuck that i may have to delete the failed install files. Not sure if thats a thing. Thx

Tinfoil only installs files to the sd card. So first and foremost check if your card isn't full. Secondly check if it's format as Fat32, apparently EXFAT formatting doesn't work

 

[Ashura66]

devmenu is giving me an error when i try to install to the sdcard, simply says failed to install the nsp file
