Sorry It became FAT32.. Im trying to install my game... my process is to copy the NSP File which is around 8GIG... it wont copy with error "the file is too large for the destination file system"
You should not be installing NSP files off the SD card. You should install them over a USB or FTP connection instead. Alternatively, you can use something like HBG to install over the internet.

Hi! Is this the right one?

Was able to install Tinfoil but it is corrupted, did I miss anything?

Sorry,

I opened it in the Album then it popped up in the home menu. Tried opening it like a game then it says it is corrupted
Did you follow my steps from earlier to install the latest Atmosphere and signature patches, launching Atmosphere with the latest fusee-primary?

Repeat my steps and try again. It sounds like there's an issue with your signature patches. You should also be using title override, not the album, you launch homebrew applications.


It work, now I can use tinfoil to install/download games over the internet using its interface right?
Do I need to know anything else :D

If you're going to install NSP files over the internet, you should setup something like HBG.

Personally I add JITS (Jack in the Shop), which is a source for TinFoil - we cannot share the URL but it’s easy to find if you Google for it.

Also, if you want to avoid a ban then enable Incognito by copying exosphere.ini to the root and setting the flags!!

You need to install the driver for Tinfoil (it's the same driver used for TegraRcmGui but you need to install it again while in Tinfoil) unless you are installing over the network which is slower and a bit more complicated to set up but more reliable, that requires manually adding the IP to the server list. But if you do USB it's literally just opening up Tinfoil and Nut, plugging in the USB (with driver installed) and games will show up on the Switch in categories ("New Games", "Updates", "New DLC" etc.) and once you have the server added if using network it works the same way.

As for Awoo that works with NS-usbloader (for transferring games over either network or USB) and it's a bit easier to set up network installs on that as you just type in the IP shown on the Switch into the PC application (and you also have to select the right protocol, I believe it should be set to Tinfoil (not the same Tinfoil by the way so it's not compatible with blawar's Tinfoil at all) and select either Net or USB) but the UI is much less user friendly and USB installs are super unstable compared to Tinfoil. Same thing with the driver as Tinfoil, install it with the Switch plugged into the PC and running the homebrew.

I have installed the latest tinfoil but the "New Games" Option is not showing up. I think I missed something
