Gaming "checking if sofware can be played"

[LAUNCHERMONKEY]

I have my cousins switch here and got atmosphere and everything running but any time i try and launch a game it says "checking if software can be played....". i have the latest versions of hekate and atmosphere installed, i updated the sigpatches, Install the games using the exact same way i do with my own switch (awoo installer and NS loader). i tried installing NSZ files instead of NSPs and just seems to crash. i tried factory resetting the switch and reformatting the SD card and still no dice.

the switch is currently on 11.0.1. SD card is formatted to fat32, separate partition for emunand.

any ideas?

I've only seen it do that officially when a game isn't out yet or sometimes with nes/snes games. it did that to me when I updated both of them to December 2020. I'm not a switch expert though, but those are the times I've seen it do that legitimately.

It also does it if the console is a secondary switch- look it up. He proclably needs sigpatches.

I have updatedsig patches. As well factory resetting the switch so theresbohld be any account tied to it to make it the "secondary" switch.

Do you have an account linked on your user? if you dont there is a homebrew app that can do it whitnot connecting to the internet, but you will get banned and i cant remember the name of it.

i figured it out you guys. its because i only updated awoo installer but havent updated NS-USBLOADER. i guess that had to be updated to be compatible with OS 11 too. thanks everyone

Isn't Tinfoil a better nsp installer than awoo anyway?

Considering that Awoo Installer works with Hekate, I would argue the opposite. And I don't count chainloading with fusee because at that point, you might as well just use fss0.

Hey - im having the same problem with Mario + Rabbids where i keep getting the 'checking if software can be played' I update sigpatches to Totaljustices and have latest firmware.

Quite new to all this since i didnt originally mod my switch. I tried to look into NS-USBLOADER but i couldnt find any clean instructions on how to update this. Just saw the Github - https://github.com/developersu/ns-usbloader.

Can you point me to how to update updated NS-USBLOADER? i installed the game on awoo on my sd-card so not sure if still applies to me.

It seems you have a second switch. Go into the eshop on the other switch on SysMMC stock fw and go on your profile pic. Scrollnto primary device or something and unregister it. Enter the Eshop on the switch that gets the error to register that as main console. Copy your nintendo folder to emummc (you might lose software on emummc that is not on sysnand), go back into eshop on sysmmc and unregister that console, then go back into eshop with your main switch to re-register that as main. Now you fixed that error (on emummc)
