like title says i installed the nsp while the cartridge was in my switch and booted it up to make sure it was working and had no problems. have since gotten rid of the cartridge (like hours ago) and the game no longer boots. it shows that the cartridge is still inserted (filled in icon)
i tried to to delete the software but its asking me to remove the cartridge first.
i currently have no cartridges to insert to see if that fixes it.

has anyone else ran into this problem and found a way to fix??

edit:
extra infos 6.01 using reinx and tinfoil

Restore a backup, reinitialize the console, or buy the card back from GameStop.
im 100% sure the backup i made had the cartridge installed would this be a problem?
what does reinitializing do?
and yeah dont feel like losing 25+bucks buying it back and then returning it again lol

I doubt it. This time around just delete the software first.
It factory resets the console. It might solve your problem. But I believe some stuff survives a reset.

Somebody who knows about ticket blobs and certs and shit will come along and answer your question better. I mostly just wanted to use the GameStop crack.

I wouldn't do anything too drastic yet. Restoring the backup will probably work. Then you wouldn't have to reinstall all the game. Or you could probably use Tinfoil, Hekate, or DevMenu (if you can run it on your FW version) to fix it. I don't know enough to say for sure.

I realise this is a month old thread, but I just did the same thing with BOTW by accident on 6.1 and found a solution. Tried searching around for newer threads but didn't find one so hopefully it's still of use to people.

I installed BOTW via tinfoil while i had the cart inserted. Had the same issue of the switch thinking the cart was still inserted etc. However I discovered if you tell the switch to archive the game first, it will then let you delete it afterwards. I guess for whatever reason it will let you archive it, which deletes the data, and yet not just outright delete it?

No idea what the theory behind it is, but I've just now reinstalled the NSP again through tinfoil and the game appears to be working fine, kept my saves too. I have a feeling reinserting the cart might break it again, might give that a go tomorrow for science as I don't much fancy having to reinstall the game again right now.

    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.

    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.

    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @salazarcosplay if they made a prequel, it would still be about current issues, cause it doesn't make sense to make it about stuff that happened 30 years ago that nobody cares about anymore
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's too late
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the older south park episodes about particular issues usually age poorly since the topic is no longer relevant

    an exception is giant douche vs turd sandwich, that's always relevant :P
