Hacking Help with Installing XCI

[MikeHawke]

Hello, everyone. I am trying to install an .xci files with n1dus. I haven't had any trouble about two months before now I'm getting a message "error processing files" when it reaches 100%. I'm on atmosphere 0.81. Where should I start to look to correct this? Any tips?

I think most users are using 4NXCI to convert XCI files to NSP files.

Goldleaf works fine too. Just make a NSP folder on memory card...drag and drop (or copy) XCI in there from PC. Open Goldleaf from homebrew on Switch - "Browse SD card" - direct to your NSP ....have at it. Delete that XCI after making you NSP.

can this be a custom xci with multiple nsp files integrated?

Oh, my bad. This is for converting XCI to NSP.

Not sure by what you consider "custom" XCI. But the Gold Leaf will install the game NSP (after converting XCI to NSP - in 4NXCI),
and the Gold leaf will install the UPD (updated...smaller file after installing the original game). If you have multiple "parts" of an NSP of XCI and want to combine them into one larger SAME file then I read that you put all parts of file pieces into a folder....go to "first" file and EXTRACT to that folder using winzip - 7zip or other zip file maker. They will be laced together automatically. I haven needed to do this so far. * I have done something like this years ago with the PSP.

Thanks for all of the replies comrades. I followed Lacius' method and got the game working. I also update to firmware 7.0.1, and updated atmosphere. Turns out that the problem was the game not atmosphere or whatever. It was the only game that I really needed to do that with.

is there a benefit to converting from XCI to NSP rather than just installing a NSP off the internet?

There is no objective benefit but some people prefer using clean dumps rather than converted ones; the games will run the same no matter what.
