Homebrew Goldleaf and tinfoil corrupts the files on my microsd

[kingsora831]

Hey guys,
I've been trying to install some games to enjoy during the holidays this week with family.

But everytime I install a few games with either goldleaf or tinfoil atmosphere crashes and when I reboot my payload (hekate 5.0) disappears.

When I'm finally able to fix things all of the few games I was able to install end up corrupted and I have to start all over again.

Is their anyway to prevent this or fix the corruption without having to restart from scratch?

I currently am using latest atmosphere, hekate and kosmos.
And my microsd card Is legitimate, tested and purchased directly by Amazon.

Pretty sure it has to do with my microsd card being formatted as exfat, should I switch to fat32?

It is recommended that you use the DZ version of Tinfoil instead. Goldleaf and the old tinfoil aren't as regularly updated, and most issues can usually be solved by switching to the DZ version of Tinfoil.

If you want to install NSP files over USB, you can use nut server with the DZ version of Tinfoil.

Do you have the github link for that paticular version?

This. whenever you're dealing with homebrew, fat32 is the best choice. otherwise go hard with exfat

Thanks to both.

Is there anything I'll be losing by switching over to fat32?
Besides the ability to hold >4gb files.

 

[Undwiz]

to split NSP that is over 4GB put this in a empty folder and drap a NSP and drop on the .bat

You will need that if you switch to FAT32

no fat32 is better ... just more steps to install larger games ... but worth the hassle -- I learned the hard way

(stop blaming Goldleaf, blame N for using shitty exFAT drivers instead )

I prefer the non-python way... less of a headache and just works

To each their own. But there's no headache with the python version, and it's cross platform. Either way, don't forget to set the archive bit.

If you're using a nut server the only "extra step" is making sure your games are named correctly. The hardest part of which is getting the Title ID (I found http://nswdb.com/ to be the fastest way to find them if you get stuck)

I agree using a NUT server and Tinfoil is easiest, but many keep their devices in Airplane mode, or don't want to use 90DNS, or don't know to restrict their Switch to intranet only on their router.

Those people could still use the usb functionality right?

Sure, it just requires the system to be next to a computer.

...I mean if you're transferring the nsps to your sd card, you're probably near your computer.

Sure, but if you're using network install, then you're not.

 

[Dichotomy754]

Sure, but if you're using network install, then you're not.

I'm just saying that's not really a disadvantage. Either the user is fine connecting to the internet and they get tether-less installs, or they aren't and have to install games near their computer... which they were going to do anyway.

You guys really took this thread and ran with it. Lol
But thanks for the replies.

I just formatted to fat32 and repartioned for emunand.
Gonna try installing some games in a bit and see if I can fill up my Microsd without it corrupting this time.

Once I find the setup that works for me I'll reply back.
