If you download them through the switch, it autosplits the files as it installs them. If you are talking about xci/nsp files, there are scripts to split them for you

Personally I just use FAT32 and USB install with Aluminium Foil, seems to work well enough with nsp's well over 4gb

how in the name of fuck do you get it to work the version of tinfoil with usb installs just crashes my switch and its really annoying me
Did u install Zadig ??
Just follow this tut:


Yeah, use Zadig to replace the libComms or whatever it's called driver to a generic one.

Another *very* important thing: if you happen to be installing .nsp files with special or foreign characters (for example something with á in the file name, or something with Japanese characters in the file name), or with very long file names, it WILL crash the Switch when installing via Tinfoil
