I'm having trouble using nxdumptool to dump my game cards, it says it makes a successful dump when the process is complete, but when I try to install it onto my emuMMC using Tinfoil, it always comes up as corrupted data and won't let me launch it. I never have this problem when I dump my games I bought from the eShop, those dumps work no problem. I've tried using both .xci and .nsp formats for the game card dumping and neither of them work. I already have the correct patches to use Tinfoil or else I wouldn't be able to install my other dumps, I am using firmware 8.1.0 with AMS 0.9.2, the main partition on my SD card is formatted to exFAT so it does support large files. Can anyone help me out?

    @DinohScene, unfortunately since I don't have the space or tools to work on it at the moment I'm at the mercy of my mechanic to find the problems and solutions :(
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    He did half jokingly suggest looping the hoses to bypass the heater core but I'm like nah the car is still just a little too recent to be doing those kinds of fixes to it

    problem is if libogc is tainted pretty sure the entire dkp is too
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I rarely do this, just because it really isn't necessary to me personally. And also, the clock batteries in the Wii do last for quite a long while.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Never had leaky batteries.

    this is why cfw/hacking is crucial less ewaste and you know some games might not get remastered
