Hi, my FW is 8.0.1, atmosphere 0.8.9. I install NSP via NS USB loader. My card is on Fat32 and it has a lot of space. I tried to install many games bigger than 4gb but only a few of them worked, what should i do?
Ps: I have the latest signature patches on my card.

This is the way I did it make sure to have the latest tinfoil from here:
https://tinfoil.io/Download#download
( And next go here to Download Nut )
https://gbatemp.net/threads/nut-gui-usb-and-network-installer-for-tinfoil-and-sx-installer.531327/ for the post
( or )
https://github.com/blawar/nut/releases
( and do this on your pc )
1. Download Zadig from https://zadig.akeo.ie/.
2. With your switch plugged in and Tinfoil running,
choose "List All Devices" under the options menu in Zadig, and select libnx USB comms.
3. Choose libusbK from the driver list and click the "Replace Driver" button.
4. run nut.exe
5. Start tinfoil on the switch, and either connect the USB cable from the switch to your PC, or set up a nut server location using the information displayed in nut server.

I did what both of you guys said, some games that didn't work now are working, but some still aren't.

I’ve got the exact same problem.

Games of a few hundred mb install fine via usb. Anything bigger than about a gb won’t.

Thing is - I’ve installed games over 4gb before with no problem. This only started when I updated to the latest atmosphere.

What’s team viewer btw?

means nothing. Amazon have had fake SD cards slip through. Have you tested the SD card with h2testw?

alternatively other ways to test are here - https://www.geckoandfly.com/22803/detect-fake-usb-flash-drives-sd-cards-ssd-disk/


my SD card is formatted as FAT32 and I use tinfoil version 1.60 (from tinfoil.io web site) and NUT executable for windows version 1.2 ( github.com/blawar/nut/releases ) to install NSP and XCI files (many are over 4GB in size) with no issues. I am using SX OS 2.7.1
