I'm trying to install a bunch of nsp games which i put into the /tinfoil/nsp folder on the root of my sd card.

For some reason when i open tinfoil 0.2.1, when i go into title management/install NSP or verify NSP i get an ERROR?

"OpwnSiewctory:133: Failed to open directory/tinfoil/nsp. Error code 0x00000702"

Can anyone help me please?

I think that the 'tinfoil/nsp' needs to be in the switch folder, not root

Sorry, made a mistake. Tinfoil.nro goes in the switch folder, not inside another folder. Create a tinfoil folder in the root in the root of the sd and then a nsp folder inside it. Place nsp files there.
Your issue is that your tinfoil.nro is inside a folder inside the switch folder. Needs to be in the root of the switch folder

Im still getting the same error doing that :(

So On the Root of my SD Card i have a folder called "tinfoil" in that i have "extracted, nsp and ticket" folders and i put the nsp files in "nsp" folder. In the "Switch folder" on the root of my sd card i put the "Tinfoil.nro" file on, with another Tinfoil folder there.

Is this how it's supposed to be?

No tinfoil folder in the switch folder, only the nro file there

I have a few other files and folders in the switch folder :/



My sd card is ExFAT, on the latest 6.0 firmware of reinx and tinfoil is 0.2.1

do you mind sending me a screenshot of your sd card and the files in the root of the sd card, the switch folder and the tinfoil folder?

Also did an older build of tinfoil work?

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
