Installed in case, of which we entered the GameCard? Like Mario Kart 8/Splatoon 2 whatever?

Can we have a picture/video tutorial on how to do this?

1) Get a title id of any game you have installed from http://switchbrew.org/index.php?title=Title_list/Games (this is your target titleid)
2) Create a directory on SD : sd:/atmosphere/titles/*target_titleid*
3) use hactool to extract the romfs.bin and exefs files from your main game nca (its in secure from XCI - the biggest one)
4) put romfs.bin in sd:/atmosphere/titles/*target_titleid*/romfs.bin, exefs files into sd:/atmosphere/titles/*target_titleid*/exefs/
5) Edit titleid in main.npdm (in exefs) to contain target title id (this might help http://switchbrew.org/index.php?title=NPDM)
6) run a fs_mitm containing CFW release, run your target app (https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-get-layeredfs-working.507460/)

Note that saves don't work for me atm, you should wait for mememenu/similar.
Minecraft works, others not tested.

Any game you are able to run on the switch, so demos will work, full eshop games or even cart games if you have the cart in.

What game did you try? Did you edit npdm?

 

[Thetoto]

"you left the software because a error appear" in bad English

 

[Darth Meteos]

Can you get the necessary files from XCIs or not?

Yes.
Extract the secure partition from the XCI and the biggest nca there is the one you want to use with my tutorial.

 

[Thetoto]

Yes, I tried 12 switch on Botw title. I edited the ndpm correctly with HxD.

 

[Darth Meteos]

Yes.

aw heck

More Details needed @Thetoto

What you did. What you used. Step for Step.

Can we dump the Title ID? I got a new Mario Kart 8 Cardridge, so no clue which one I have sadly.

Hmm, not sure. Some games probably don't react well to being run under a different titleid. But I will try to look into it.

 

[Thetoto]

Basically the tutorial
with hactool
--romfs=romfs.bin on 12 switch main nca
--exefsdir=exefs
Then put the files to use LayeredFS with hekate
Put the 12 switch files on Botw title folder
Edit.the .npdm
Launch Botw. This error

i feel like this invalidates staying on 3.0.0. i also ordered a TX device, so honestly with Homebrew and backups on 5.1.0, why bother with 3.0.0 anymore???

By doing this you're running one game with it's cert on another game's TitleID. Doesn't sound like it would be hard at all for Nintendo to detect and ban for this.
