Its abandoned until he recompiled for latest libnx. Even then, he barely updates it. Edizon has felt abandoned for a long time.
What you feel isn't the same that it's true.

I know he is working on version 4.0, it's gonna be glorious! I got a test version of it, just need to install it... been to focused on PC gaming so I haven't really touched my Switch :P

it's funny, I see 5 pages of people discussing an application and someone else's cfw (blawar fork atmosphere and tinfoil).
I mean, nobody puts you a weapon to use tinfoil, there are other similar apps, in my case I use sx os but if it stopped working on sx os, I would simply use another app. I would not complain to Blawar about doing or stopping doing something that was created by himself.

My Switch ain't hacked and wont be till AC comes out so I have no ties to any of this crap. After reading this and the other 14 pages from that other post my conclusion is...

This dude made an app everyone wanted to use, Atmos couldn't run his shit right, so he fixed it himself. Now you all are mad about it? Yea, he had to do some funny shit to make his stuff work. In these two topics I have read now not once did I see him say use my shit or else. Most the response has been "Why would you do that to your app" It's his, he can do whatever the hell he wants with it, until he tries to force someone to use it, dude ain't did shit wrong. Maybe you guys don't have any other options, that sucks, but it's not his fucking problem either.

lol, I thought I was the only one who thought so, as I said, I am sx user, and the only ones who cry are the fans of the vanilla atmosphere.
What's more, if they hate Blawar so much, why don't they create their own tinfoil instead of cracking their software with tinfoil mod, doesn't it make sense right? It's called hypocrisy. You have goldleaf and other software to use, but there come the hypocrites who only want tinfoil by the hbg shop. saying, we don't allow piracy here ... they are so funny.

I think the majority of this stems from how spoiled we all were with the Wii. People feel entitled to this stuff, they don't realize the work that goes into this shit. Dude probably has dozens of hours at the least into this one project, who knows what else he has going on? If you don't want to use HIS work walk away, it's his, he don't have to please any of you with it.

That already happened with retroarch, and some select other applications LOL. I tell you what, i'll remove my fork when retroarch runs on all cores on all CFW's :) But you give retroarch a pass on it, because its your favorite CFW and its open source. I get it :)
If u r referring to flycast then

The DRM has been removed from Tinfoil. It works just fine with Atmosphere.

Just extract the contents of /switch/tinfoil/ to that location on your SD card. You don't need anything else.

thanks? did that but there is still no games section in the list. Just show Installed, File Browser ect...
You're going to have to be more specific about what it is you want to do. Are you trying to install over SD? Install over USB? Install over FTP? Install using HBG?

You have to download the latest HBG. The install process is the same. Just extract the contents of /switch/tinfoil/ to that location on your SD card. You don't need anything else.

No, you only need the files from HBG.

@Lacius unzips the entire zip file, he just doesn’t want you to run the cool fork. he’s a hipster who likes to be special and doesn’t want people copying him :)

Does this mean the "fork" has been removed? There's no reason to use the tinfoil mod on atmosphere anymore?
The fork hasn't been removed, but it's no longer enforced. In other words, you can just copy the contents of /switch/tinfoil/ to your SD card without the Atmosphere fork, and everything should work properly. There is no need for the mod anymore, and the mod isn't supported anymore anyway.
