Gaming Copy games larger then 4 GB to SD card

[AlexMCS]

Awoo supports NSZ. No real reason to use Tinfoil if you don't use pirate shops.

That's good to know.

They may be bad nsps. Are your sig patches installed correctly? ES and FS. If you use the patches for fusee-primary, and you are using Hekate fss0 (which it sounds like you are), XCI converts will not work. Hekate fss0 has its own set of patches. The Hekate fss0 patches appear to not be updated anymore, they still work on latest FW but will not be updated for future FW unless someone continues where the last person left off. So switching to fusee-primary might not be a bad idea. You can still load fusee-primary through Hekate, just need to edit hekate_ipl.ini.

When I load fusee-primary all the games are working. Tinfoil is still not working. Yes I download the sigpatches. Do you have any idea why? The problem that USB connection with GoldLeaf freezes is known: https://github.com/XorTroll/Goldleaf/issues/476. There is no solution for it now. For me Awoo is working and this method is much better then copying games to my SD card.

I think you need to actually edit (or delete) your hekate_ipl.ini if you want to use Tinfoil because it specifically detects the fss0=... line (don't know for sure though, since Tinfoil is closed source)
If you want to chainload through Hekate so you can still access the options in Hekate easily if needed you can change the fss0=... to load a payload instead. I think this should be correct: payload=atmosphere/fusee-primary.bin
I don't recommend Tinfoil though. No one should be supporting a dev that has done so many sketchy things and caused so much drama in the community and who is not showing any willingness to improve and fix his past mistakes.

I do not change the hekate_ipl.ini file. But I will change it to boot the atmosphere/fusee-primary.bin payload. If Tinfoil is not recommend then Awoo is the only option for me to use.

I open the file hekate_ipl.ini and change it to payload=atmosphere/fusee-primary.bin but I get an error:

Error while loading FSS0:
atmosphere/fusee-primary.bin
Wrong ini cfg of missing files.
Failed to launch HOS.

The fusee-primary.bin file is in the atmosphere folder.

The fusee-primary.bin file is in the atmosphere folder.

Sounds like you didn't change fss0≠ to payload=
Also double check if the fusee-primary.bin is there, I don't remember if it's included in the main archive anymore or if you need to download it separately.

Yes fusee-secondary.bin is in the atmosphere folder.

You didn't change it like I told you. See the bolded part.
fusee-primary.bin not fusee-secondary.bin

 

[Draxzelex]

Or just download a pre-configured Hekate_ipl.ini file from SDSetup

fusee-primary.bin not fusee-secondary.bin

Let me clear it: I changed fss0=atmosphere/fusee-secondary.bin into fss0=atmosphere/fusee-primary.bin. It was already good. Ok I will change it back into fusee-secondary.bin. The problem is not solved.

.......
For the third time, you need to change fss0= into payload=

Awoo supports NSZ. No real reason to use Tinfoil if you don't use pirate shops.

Reliability over newer solutions?
I'm pretty satisfied with Tinfoil perfectly doing everything I am asking it to perform.

fusee-primary.bin not fusee-secondary.bin

Where do you see fusee-secondary.bin? It says fusee-primary.bin

[CFW (EMUMMC)]
fss0 = atmosphere / fusee-primary.bin
kip1patch = nosigchk
atmosphere = 1
emummcforce = 1
logopath = bootloader / bootlogo.bmp
icon = bootloader / res / icon_payload.bmp

That is your opinion and others would beg to differ. For example, I've personally never had any issues with Goldleaf but from the issues many other users had, I would never recommend it to anyone.

Where do you see fusee-secondary.bin? It says fusee-primary.bin

[CFW (EMUMMC)]
fss0 = atmosphere / fusee-primary.bin
kip1patch = nosigchk
atmosphere = 1
emummcforce = 1
logopath = bootloader / bootlogo.bmp
icon = bootloader / res / icon_payload.bmp

Just grab a setup Hekate_ipl.ini file from either SDSetup, DeepSea, or even Void-NX

The file in the atmosphere folder, I never asked about or mentioned fusee-secondary.bin, I asked you about fusee-primary.bin and you responded to something completely different. You didn't make the change the way I told you to. Please read over everything I said again. I'm not going to repeat myself again.

Aha, I misunderstand you. Sorry. I changed in payload=atmosphere/fusee-primary.bin and everything is working fine now. Also copying games with Awoo in combination with NS-USB Loader. Thank you.

The difficult part for me was that there are many different manuals on the internet on how to update the firmware of the switch. You don't know if they are good and up to date. I used a manual that caused me to lose my games and unable to boot in CFW mode. Fortunately, you and other member have helped me a lot to get my Switch working again and this has been an instructive lesson for me. Hmm I haven't lost my savegame files. I think they are stored on the Switch internal memory. What does the future look like when new firmwares are released? Can we no longer update without updates from Atmospere?

Atmosphere has a built in safe updater now so that would probably be the one to use. But the firmware files used are slightly different from those used with ChoiDujourNX, and either need to be converted, or downloaded in the correct format.
Atmosphere usually needs to be updated alongside the firmware, sometimes firmware updates don't require a new Atmosphere update but that's less common.
