Might need to update since the game released after latest firmware update. Try moving nap file and install using tinwoo or dbi. If that works you might need to update driver for the mtp
 
i have updated syspatches to 1.54 via the git hub from here.
i have got the game in .nsp 6.2 gb unrared on my switch sd caard via usb mode. on my Em
when i try to run it via Tinwoo, Tinwoo installer gives a message " Applet mode not supported"
Dbi installer crashes, gives error 2168-0002 (0x4a8)
do i have to reboot my console
how to get this game onto my system

You can google for the rom in nsp format. And goto your homebrew menu not in applet mode. Hold R while you launch the game and select user to goto homebrew menu instead of clicking photo

I have got the nsp and xci files they say USA.
Tinwoo runs in aplett mode even if I press the R and click on the game to launch HB.
Im trying to put 7.2 gb nsp formatt onto the sd card in games folder after extracting the part 1 and 2.
Do I need to update sig patches as well.
I've read that 21 don't need sig patches only.sys patches which I had already updated.

i was able to install the games bigger then 8 gb previously, after the update to 21 its not allowing me to.
my sd card is in FAT 32 format as at has been always.
how to fix this to install tomodachi 7.2 gb game on sd card.
i have even tried to take the card out of the switch and put it in my pc sd card slot, but same error "nsp file too big for folder.

people say you can use nsp splitter, can some one point me to the right direction where to find this.
or another way to fix this issue.
Thanks for your help

It was due to Fat32 format not allowing me to download more then 4 gb of file to switch.
used nsp splitter to split the file and installed it onto my switch sd card, works now.
The 60 mg updates gives an error while trying to install via tinwoo installer.

Just going to hope you dumped the file yourself. To install that, or any .nsp or .xci files, use Goldleaf. I believe it comes prepackaged with homebrew. If not, download it here. Then just go to explore content, choose your microSD card, and navigate to where the file is. Click on it, install it. Once it's done, delete the .nsp to save space once you've verified it works.
 
i dont have goldleaf.
what advantage gold leaf has on Tinwoo and tinfoil ( my tinfoil doesnt wokr)
did managed to get it working in the end by using nsp splitter and then installed it.
will it alow me to download more then 4 gb file.
Thanks

use awoo installer and then download ns usbloader in pc. after download and you put the nro files in switch folder. open ns usbloader in pc and then press select split after that locate your games folder after you find them press use this folder. in your switch open awoo installer and then connect your switch to pc with a usb c and then you press install over usb. in your pc press upload to ns. alr just wait for it to install and then enjoyyy

use press select split because your sd card is formatted in fat32. if you want to download games over 4 gb use ns usbloader. dbi dont support ns usbloader
