Homebrew Question Install XCIs --- atmosphere ??

spotanjo3 · Nov 27, 2019

I always install from PC using USB cable for nsp but can I do that with XCIs ? What about zerotwoxci (outdated??) ? Or stick with tinfoil.io version ?

I disliked to convert xci to nsp at all. Been done before and it works but I am not comfortable with it. I prefer authentic (original) way to do that.

By the way, I am using atmosphere and I got files from tinfoil.io and I also have ns-usbloader v0.9. If yes, then how ? No guide to be found. Please let me know,

No but this questions are for people who can give me an answer. And how ? If you can't answer that then please don't say you can't use atomsphere with xci files alone. I know that.. However read above again.

XCI file installation via USB works fine with tinfoil and Nut , i use it and it works fine under atmostphere 0.9.4/9.0.1EmuNand

I think that's what he mean. Go to tinfoil.oi and it did mention XCIs and you will know what I am talking about. That's why I wonder.

Cant do that natively on atmosphere , but who cares , you can install tinfoil ,and tinfoil does it fine .

jammybudga777 · Nov 27, 2019

so your all saying atmosphere loads xci files once there installed? but yet nsp is the only installable file for switch. and everywhere i look online there isnt any guides for that so im doubtful

squalow · Nov 27, 2019

No , atmosphere dont loads XCI , Tinfoil does , you can install NSP+XCI+NSZ with it , i dont know what you dont understand in that

Edit: You know Tinfoil is a homebrew you can install on your switch , right ?

jammybudga777 · Nov 27, 2019

because your other posts says "XCI file installation via USB works fine with tinfoil and Nut , i use it and it works fine under atmostphere 0.9.4/9.0.1EmuNand" but now your saying no it doesnt?!?

squalow · Nov 27, 2019

Bro , are you trolling me ? I said you can install XCI files under atmosphere using Tinfoil , i said natively you cant install XCI but once you have Tinfoil you dont have to care about it anymore , you're making me think that you are retarded bro ,omg

jammybudga777 · Nov 27, 2019

well im asking a simple question. can xci be installed on atmosphere and loaded. didnt ask how they are installed

squalow · Nov 27, 2019

The answer is :YES, using Tinfoil . i'm just repeating myself over and over , Atmosphere cant by default , but you can once Tinfoil is installed ...

thanks for the headache

No atmos can NOT load an xci (only SXOS can "run" .xci" however tinfoil is able to install them in the same way it does an nsp.

No probs, I knew what you were on about. It was all in the wording of the reply

spotanjo3 · Nov 27, 2019

Found it.. Yes, you can... Here:

Go to number 2 and read it.

And now... What about zerotwoxci (outdated??)

tinfoil basically just converts your xci to nsp for you and installs it... atmos doesn't support xci, but you still can convert it to nsp and install manually or through tinfoil

Where did you get that information...tinfoil just install xci.. not convert xci to nsp.
