Whenever i install games from NSP backups, eventually, i get this error message.
So far i tried manually re-updating atmosphere, hekate, sigpatches, using several different nsp backups.
Went into Maintenance/recovery mode and fixed the archive bit (nothing found).

im running out of ideas of what i can do.

EDIT: Ran checkdisk now, too and nothing was found

Also tried DBI now. Also errors out.

also removed all unused tickets before installation, as well as completely new atmosphere and bootloader folders with fresh installs.
those games dont have any savedata i could remove and havent been played.

Is your SD card fat32 formatted ? ExFAT formatted SD cards tend to corrupt games.

 

[Nakamichi]

yep

Try using different installer, I recommend DBI. https://github.com/rashevskyv/dbi/releases

DBI doesnt work either, it seems?

When you say manually updated Atmosphere, Hekate, did you delete the old folders, and copy new fresh files? And btw those are NSZ you are trying to install, not NSP, but DBI should install NSZ no problem. My guess is something is wrong with your Atmosphere files, like you overwrite instead of coping new files.

You have corrupted system save data.

Delete any game saves or game data associated with those games, before installing, in Switch settings.

completely replaced atmosphere and bootloader folders with new atmosphere, hekate etc files. no change.
nsp and nsz makes no difference.
also removed all unused tickets, no difference there either.

Try downloading a game from a online source, and see if it installs, if it does, then your backups are corrupted. Maybe when you compressed them to NSZ format.

Also do not to forget to reinstall sigpatches and if you like the SYS-Patch sysmodule.

what can i do?

Recreate emunand from scratch or restore sysnand backup.

 

[Nakamichi]

dont have a backup, that would be over 1tb in size

Nand Backups are only around 29GB. It should have been one of the first things you did at the beginning of modding the Switch; backup Nand, and get Keys.

that would have been over two years ago and installing over 1tb of content later. im good, not gonna undo that just for a chance that it might help maybe

The 1tb of content can be batch installed. You need a working environment.

I do make regular backup of my sd card so I can back to a know working state anytime

Yeah for me us 800 Gb but that has saved me on the past


By the way you're not telling us if you are using any type if EmuNAND or working directly to SysNAND
