Hello, for the past three days I've been having this issue, I've gone through the forum posts, Reddit, YouTube videos, heck, even used AI's, but so far no luck.

Basicaly i have a modded v1 Switch and when i try to install games the installation goes succsefully but the game ends up showing in the hompe page as blank with loading and no name, when i try to run it i get an error.. what could be the issue, strangley this only seems to happen with 3rd party games, 1st party games that i've installed via DBI ( Tomodachi life, Mario wonder, Mario Party Jamboree ) work without any issues

Things that I've tried so far: downgraded EmuMMC partition from fw 22 to 21.1.0, tried signature patches, tried sys patches + sig patches, then removed sig patches and now I only have sys patches, reinstalled hekate and atmosphere, tried to install nsp files via DBI, GoldLeaf and Tinwoo, tried to install games outside EmuMMC partition ( outside emmu is fw 22 ) , tried diffrent nsp for the same game, tried to run files via emulator they work there, after wipe ive completed the installation via most recent HATS pack, tried 3 diffrent games ( Fantasy Life, Pizza Tower, Back to the Dawn ), tried to copy NSP files first to MicroSD card then install of the card without MTP drag and drop installation, tried to install only game then also game + update + dlc

Please, if anyone knows what the issue is, I would be grateful. Thanks :wtf:

So i've downloaded the most recent sys-patch sysmodule 1.5.9 ( before it I downloaded 1.6.1 off the GitHub page ) on this site, installed by dragging and dropping contents to my sd card, but it didn't fix anything..

Edit

tried to install a game in CFW 22.0 SYSMMC with SYS PATCH 1.6.0 to check will the issue will be the same like in EmuMMC , pictures below

Update - fixed my issue by doing an entire wipe of my switch + getting a new sd card just in case and everything works now

What was the exact issue? I have no clue, but games work now, so that's the only thing that matters.

Tip - if you get stuck like this in this situation, just do an entire wipe and start over, don't waste 3 days tinkering as I did haha
