check this thread https://gbatemp.net/threads/tinfoil-8-0-8-0-1-help.557559/page-4#post-8945977

make sure your not missing the [ locations.config ] file

you have to re-pin your https drives in the file explorer section - read the help section in the tinfoil app it tell you how to do this as well.

So looks like I have the location.conf file. In tinfoil I go on file explorer, then my sd card sdmc:/, thentinfoil folder. Here I pres the right stick button to save the path like se help section it says. Then close tinfoil and restart it but still not working D:

I updated Tinfoil from version 7 to version 8 from inside the app.. it couldn't start so i deleted everything (including the forwarder). I installed it fresh and i got black screen whenever i start Tifnfoil or any game really. I have to hard reset (power off button for 15sec) every time. Only thing that still works are homebrew apps. I don't know what else to do. I have a switch that doesn't run any games :P

I asked for help at the Discord and they suggested (or rather insulted) to switch from exFAT to FAT32. Nothing changed.

Any suggestions?

make sure you are on latest atmosphere, manor sure you are not using hekate or kosmos, make sure you are not using exfat.

If you are positive you did all of that and it still won’t boot, then the damage might have already been
Done by exfat and you may need to do a full sd card wipe, or you have sys modules installed that conflict with tinfoil like reversenx, sys-clk

I'm on SX OS. I didn't really use (yet) sys-clk/reverse-nx but i have them installed. I boot to the OS fine, i just can't run anything (besides Homebrew)

Any ideas why they added first party titles...then now removed them again? I asked on the Discord and got muted by a child on a power trip :rolleyes: For breaking Rule 2 which i technically didn't :lol:

I had no problem with manually installing first party titles at all just found it odd they added them and now removed them.

the JITS server was down for a few days, there the only ones that provide first party titles. They also just announced last night that they will be shutting down there server for good effective Mar 1,2020 - you will have to get your first party titles elsewhere from now on

Is it possible to use tinfoil as standard homebrew and not installed to system?

Not anymore

You are not chainloading fusee primary, you are probably using fusee secondary.

Example of a decent Hekate config that chainloads fusee primary

You can't use it without the kip. Install it or don't use Tinfoil or HBG.

Use an old version of Tinfoil.
