Having a slight issue with Installing Switch sports...

I'm on AMS 1.1.1
FW13.0.0
Tinfoil V15

I tried installing the Game directly from PC by dragging and dropping it onto the 'Install' icon in file manager. It seemed to be working fine, but when it finished it was nowhere to be seen but the SD Card storage decreased!

Put the NSP on the Micro SD and was gonna try to 'uninstall' it, but it doesn't have an option for uninstall. Also, when trying to install it again it says that 'this is not an installable file!' or something along those lines...So I have a feeling the NSP is corrupt or something.

Just wondering where I can find the data that's been put onto the SD card because that's 1.5GB of wasted space otherwise I guess. There's no sign of it in the tickets or anything. Not sure if it was a glitch and the SD Storage went back to what it was before the drag and drop.

Also, is it possible to install an XCI through the drag and drop feature on Tinfoil/ Explorer or is that NSP only?

Little help appreciated as always! Thanks.

e: did you try to delete via the built in Settings -> Data Management?

Tinfoil is the best for installing from shops. It’s a bit complex for other options. It will do it but it’s just a little harder to get there, IMO.

Try DBI in MTP mode. DBI will show you what‘s actually installed and help you install from PC very quickly via drag-n-drop.

Installers​

• Tinfoil — Polished installer. Recommend the Self installing version.
• DBI — Capable feature filled and fast installer.
• Tinwoo — A nice installer for when you just want to install.
• Goldleaf — The kitchen sink but it can also install games.

Yeah I had a look in Data Management and there's nothing Switch Sports related, same in the tickets that have been installed, nothing seems to be there! I'm hoping it was a glitch that just said the storage was used and hopefully it reset once I backed out and back into the menus but didn't notice ahaha.

What do you mean from Shops sorry? Is that what XCI files are? Shop files?

Cheers, Thanks for the help!

The shops are backup files hosted on specific servers/drives on the internet and tinfoil is able to list them and install them directly to your switch. Save the time of downloading to your PC. Once you download to your PC it is easier and faster, in my opinion, to install over USB. DBI is one of the easiest to set up for USB installs. Basically saying use the right tool for the job.

Aye aye captain! I've never tried the 'Shops' but I guess there's some way to set it up, it's not fresh out of the box.

I'll take a look at DBI because I can't work out for the life of me how to choose where to install a game through Drag and Drop via Tinfoil ahaha.

Thanks again!

EDIT1 Stupid question... Where the heck is the App on the GIThub for DBI
EDIT2: Found it!

I downloaded nsplitty split animal crossing but will nsplitty files work on tinfoil?

Hi again.
While following Rentry guide to update to latest Hekate and Atmosphère, I noticed some notes in Hekate github. Not sure we need to follow them or not.

Notice about Atmosphere 1.0.0 and up: The fss0=atmosphere/fusee-secondary.bin in hekate_ipl.ini must be changed to fss0=atmosphere/package3. And make sure that atmosphere/contents folder does not have old Atmosphere components.
Notice about resized emuMMC: Resized emuMMC does not have the slow bug anymore. You can create a new one or recreate it via Nyx and the issue will be gone.

I couldn't find an hekate-ipl.ini file in SD card. Should this file exist? The second note I don't even know for what situation is it!
Do we have to worry with these notices?

Have you extracted the latest release of hekake correctly?

If you don't have one create one, as for what to put inside you can put the following

[config]
autoboot=0
autoboot_list=0
bootwait=0
verification=1
backlight=100
autohosoff=2
autonogc=0
updater2p=1


{--- Custom Firmware ---}

I believe regular Hekate pack doesn't come with a pre configure hekate-ipl.ini

ok, thanks.
I'm still going to check my previous installation, but at least the new one doesn't have this file!

If you gotten Hekate from the CTCaer github it doesn't come with one pre assembled.

 

[HelloShitty]

I just notciedsome other thing. Earlier today or yesterday I was saying that I had to rename ekate_ctcaer_5.9.0.bin to payload.bin. People said that I didn't have to because this was to some specific situation. Today I tried to rename the old payload.bin to payload.bin.backup and put there the new hekate_ctcaer_5.9.0.bin and boot. It didn't work. It tells me that it couldn't find payload.bin.

From what I recall, I always thought it did.

Only from fss0 pack like deepsea, hats etc I think

 

[HelloShitty]

btw, @Hayato213 is that hekate-ipl.ini file to be in the SD card root?

It goes inside bootloader folder.

 

[MikeyTaylorGaming]

Quick one, I'm about to update my switch to 15.0.0, but when I load up daybreak to update the console it says that my atmosphere version is outdated and that I require Atmosphere 0.14.0 or later.

I've just transferred all the files from the Github page, and in the system settings it says I'm running FW13.0.0 and AMS1.4.0... Am I missing something here? Is there a different homebrew I should be using to update the console now?

Thanks all!

 

[HelloShitty]

It goes inside bootloader folder.

Ohh ok.
I have there the file with the following contents. First time I did the update, someone gave me an SD card root already prepared to use. So I never seen this file before. But now that I went there, I saw it there.
No idea why my find command didn't find it.
