@blawar sorry for quoting you but if i try to visit the HBG Shop site it errors out. is there a problem on the site or am i only one
It's arguably against the rules to post the HBG web address, so you should probably remove the images.

As for the website, it's down for everybody. If you haven't already installed HBG, you can find a mirror using Google.

Already mentioned.
There is no reason not to use fusee-primary, and if you have a good reason to use Hekate, you can chainload fusee-primary using Hekate.

For anyone that finds the old url, change “thehbg” to “hbgshop” and the site no longer uses the the .shop TLD so it needs to be changed to .ga and any invalid links like the discord invite page or the download link will work again as the discord channel is still running and the gdrive link for the download is still up as well.

I think this info “should” be fine as nothing is directly linked here and requires someone to read and apply what I listed above but if not I will remove this post.

JITS and Partyshop are working!

Sorry, can you tell me the url for JITS?, what is it?. I have being using partyshop and it works fine. JITS seems to be another location to include in the location file, right?.

Anyway, today I have tried to enter HBG/TINFOIL and I can´t see any game from HBG, only partyshop ones. The web I thought was the official one, as others said, is down.

I was afraid that the app was finally dead, but I am glad to see that it is working for some of you, so I assume that some changes need to be made in locations in order to make it work again, can you please describe the changes I have to make to get it working?.

Best regards and thank you very much in advance.

One more thing, I have been doing the rename thing in order to use Tinfoil with my official atmosphere, but I have read that now I can use tinfoil normally using my atmosphere, only usin g some patches, can you explain me the process to get HBG working and avoiding the red screen?.

Best regards.

The main site is dead, but there are plenty of mirrors online.

I've never been online with my switch. Afraid I'll get banned so my network connection has been deleted and airplane mode on.

I want to be able to download games and update easily. Not sure what is the preferred method to enable online but stop Nintendo servers.. 90DNS, or incognito?

Both if you're paranoid. 90DNS should be enough though.

Well well well, I bring you good news, at least they are good for me. A user in reddit has made a great homebrew app that renames automatically the folders needed to be able to use tinfoil.

https://www.reddit.com/r/SwitchPira..._term=day&_branch_match_id=668476886746164516

https://github.com/wilsam239/Cling-Wrap/releases/tag/v1.0.1


Way it works: You open the app from homebrew menu, if you press A, the folders Bootloader and atmosphere\kips are renamed with a _ just before the name. And the app says that the system is "wrapped" in order to use tinfoil. If you press again, it renames the folders back to the original names and it says that the system is "unwrapped".

So the procedure would be:
-Enable wifi
-Go to hombebrew menu, open the app, press A so it says wrapped, then + to exit the app.
-Go to main menu of switch and open tinfoil, it will load perfectly fine.
-After using tinfoil, exit to main menu, go to homebrew menu, open the app, press A so it reads "unwrapped", and exit with +
-Exit homebrew menu.
-Disable wifi and enjoy.

My thanks and congratulations, and all the credits to the user

Just for my interest:
Is it somehow safe, easy and stable to update the FW through HBG Shop / Tinfoil nowadays?
