Hi,

I've just upgrade my console to 9.0.0 with atom 9.4 but Tinfoil stopped responding?

Any help please?

Hi guys. I'm on the latest firmware and using tinfoil 0.2.1 tried various download links including this link: https://github.com/satelliteseeker/Tinfoil/releases/tag/v0.2.1-USB-fix

However when I enter tinfoil. It doesn't respond to any buttons. I can press home, but nothing else works. Any ideas of which stripped down version I can use?

I find it the quickest and easiest method of installing via USB, Tinfoil and NS-USBLoader v0.9

It needs to either be rebuilt with libnx 2.5.0+ so it can work on 9.0.0+ or you need to enable Atmosphere's hid-mitm for older homebrew that hasn't been rebuilt, by going into SD:/atmosphere/config/system_settings.ini and setting enable_deprecated_hid_mitm to u8!0x1.

It needs to either be rebuilt with libnx 3.0.0+ so it can work on 9.0.0+ or you need to enable Atmosphere's hid-mitm for older homebrew that hasn't been rebuilt, by going into SD:/atmosphere/config/system_settings.ini and setting enable_deprecated_hid_mitm to u8!0x1.
Thank you!

If I enable if it in the config ini file. Will that mess anything else up?

It shouldn't.

Though it has been noted in Atmosphere's change-log that the temporary hid-mitm may be removed in the future to save memory.
So it may be in your interest to find a more recently built version of tinfoil to work with in the event that would happen.

2 Things to note
1) system_settings_ini is locate in SD:/atmosphere/config_templates I changed enable_deprecated_hid_mitm to u8!0x1 but it still didn't work. It looks like the enable_deprecated_hid_mitm to u8!0x1 line is a comment though and not a code?

The ini's in that folder are purely templates and not used.
You need to make your changes to the template file and then copy it into SD:/atmosphere/config/ (or create the directory if it doesn't already exist).
And yes they're commented by default, so when you change it make sure to also drop the ';' at the start of that line.

Can you tell us how you are doing that ? It will help some people. Just give them some step by step as an instruction here and they are good to go. Your help will be good Samaritan. :)

1) I copied system_settings_ini from SD:/atmosphere/config_templates to SD:/atmosphere/config/
2) Opened system_settings.inii with notepad++
3) Changed line ;enable_deprecated_hid_mitm u8!0x0 to enable_deprecated_hid_mitm to u8!0x1
4) Saved the system_settings.ini file

I've been using the Tinfoil 0.2.1 to install NSPs via network (and Fluffy on my PC) but controls don't work on 9.0.1 anymore...
Since I only install NSPs via network install I'm in dire need for a patched version. Was someone successful in doing that?
I really need the network install + Fluffy functionality.

1) I copied system_settings_ini from SD:/atmosphere/config_templates to SD:/atmosphere/config/
2) Opened system_settings.inii with notepad++
3) Changed line ;enable_deprecated_hid_mitm u8!0x0 to enable_deprecated_hid_mitm to u8!0x1
4) Saved the system_settings.ini file

I tried this here and it does not work for me.

When tinfoil 0.2.1's control doesn't worked and I do follow #92 and somewhere familiar to it and it did works. Just follow it then put it atmosphere>config folder then reboot it and you are good to go. It works for me!

It worked for all other applications that didn't work, except tinfoil 0.2.1. Now I am using goldleaf 0.5 passing the nsp to the sd card...:wink:

How does its newtork install feature work? Do I use it like I use tinfoil 0.2.1. (using Fluffy on my PC to transfer the NSP)? Or what do I need to transfer NSPs from my PC to the Switch?
Use the ns-usbloader together with awoo. it has a network feature wherein you would just drop the file within the app and send it to the switch
