what is best recommended for xci installs for atmosphere?

 

[darcome]

NSP - most updates and dlc are in nsp as well




1) exfat for making a nand backup then fat32 (format with guiformat) for everyday use
2) any high speed trusted reliable card brand (samsung for instance) and buy from a reputable seller
3) Any trusted reliable seller. Mine came with a little keyring attached and works fine so maybe look for that one?

Thank you very much for your answers. I saw one with a keyring... I'll take it! Thank you again!

Another question: my switch is still "original" with firmware 7.0.0. can I safely update it to the latest version before I begin to hack it? Or should i leave it to 7.0.0? I read that latest versions of Kosmos work better with 7.0.1 but I am not sure... Also I don't understand if 7.0.1 is the latest version or there are newer versions... So my question is... can I connect the switch to internet and let it update normally or do I have to follow some special instructions?

Thanks in advance!

If you use xci, you can still install .nsp updates or dlcs.

can i delete the xci/ nsp s i put on sd after install?

Yeah you can simply delete them from the data management on your switch.

awesome then, what is the recommended method to install goldleaf or tinfoil?

awesome then, what is the recommended method to install goldleaf or tinfoil?

Goldleaf is under active development, tinfoil is old. I thought you use SX OS because you were talking about .xci files. Only SX OS supports .xci games. All other CFW only supports .nsp games.

Got a question about something I can't get my head around:

So I finally updated from 6.0 to 6.2 using ChodujourNX. And I updated my Reinx on the SD card and the payload I sent.

I also put goldleaf on my SD card to use instead of tinfoil.

-Updating to 6.2 went fine.
-Updating Reinx went fine.
-Using goldleaf to install 2 NSP games went fine.

But one thing didn't go fine:
I also tried using goldleaf to install the latest update for SSBU.
First time I did this the progress bar went ahead but it crashed the switch like 1/4 into the progress.
After that I tried it another 2-3 times. And it always crashed the switch instantly after I started to install the update nsp.
After that I could still launch SSBU, so it didn't corrupt the base game

So I thought why not try my old tinfoil. And you know what it worked fine to install the update.

What could cause goldleaf to fail?

Is it because I installed the base game using tinfoil a few months back. And now tried to install the update using goldleaf? Aren't you allowed to do that?

Any clarification would be welcome.

Yeah convert them to NSP's or get NSP files. As simple as that.

No it’s doesn’t matter. You can search for it in the file system.
