The thing is I was using it just yesterday. I tried the tinfoil 8.1.0 but it just doesnt work for Mac or maybe i just dont know how to make it work
You have the issue I had-you used a Mac. I tried everything. In the end I bought a windows laptops new SD card and remade all the files/set up from scratch. The Mac messes up file extensions

What do you use ? I am a long time Window user but I am a macOS user for my hacked Nintendo Switch and dont have a problem. I have different method and different tools for .xci, .nsp. and dlc. They works great.

You have to learn how to use macOS. It is not that hard.

I would recommend you to use Atmosphere and Goldleaf with Quark.

I have no hassle using it on my macbook.

Instead of talking about how easy it is, why don't you tell us what programms to use and how to actually make it work ;)

@linuxares, I dont used those. Every time I used files on my usb driver and I use tool called CleanEject and it will removed stuff that Mac used and Nintendo Switch can read it just fine just like Windows. Easy tool. :) Here: http://www.javawa.nl/cleaneject_en.html

I use this:

For running atmosphere

For xci, nsp, and dlc.. I used this:

yati *you need to install everything above at first*

Instruction:

Put XCI games in tools folder from Downloads of Finder

Open terminal

Go to Yati in Album of Nintendo Switch

Plug USB first then Select USB install then go to usb_total.py in tools folder and double click it an it will bring terminal up. If terminal wont bring it up.. Click terminal and click usb_total.py and it will pop up next one.

You have to use the short title name.. You can’t use a long name title name. For an example: Super Mario Odyssey.xci and Super Mario Odyssey.nsp cannot be used. Just rename them: Mario.xci or Mario.nsp. For update, Marioupdate.nsp, MarioDLC.nsp.


python3 ./usb_total.py ./mario.xci


And press B and it will selected XCI/nsp install and wait until it is complete.

If you want to install next one.. You will have to exit yati and launch yati again and there you go. Easy as a piece of pie. :)
