Tinfoil Woes....

Does anyone still use Tinfoil these days, or is it basically a thing of the past now?

None of the shops seem to be working anymore. It used to be really convenient for managing and installing games, but I haven't kept up with the scene recently. Just wondering what people are using nowadays and whether Tinfoil is still actively used.

I still have it, I guess basically just to be there, some games still will download but most just get an error because download finishes in less than a minute. The so called shops that might work are the ones that ask for monthly payment or something, since tinfoil existed I refused to donate to anything, I didn’t put cfw on my switch to pay someone for games. I think they use to ask for donations back when they were also using google education email or something when it worked for unlimited memory. Anyway I just have tinfoil still on my home menu, just to have it, to me it was good especially when retro rom downloads were creating forwarders to retroarch on home menu. I liked having some retro games on my switch home menu.

yes it was all about the retro games I was looking for trolls lol its an old amiga 500 games
I managed to install robocod 2 and paper boy but there were more amiga titles but all of the shops no longer work and I agree with your point about donations.
