devmenu is giving me an error when i try to install to the sdcard, simply says failed to install the nsp file

Try a different nsp. It might be corrupt

I got the NSP straight from CDNSP, it should work fine right? I'l try a different one though

EDIT: Also i've been thinking, could it have something to do with the transference from my pc to the mem card? Like i know sometimes the files leave things behind when you transfer them to mem cards, something like that was an issue on the psp

Tinfoil only installs files to the sd card. So first and foremost check if your card isn't full. Secondly check if it's format as Fat32, apparently EXFAT formatting doesn't work

I had it on exfat and was able to get splatoon2 aswell as few others. But for some reason botw doesnt to install. I might find another file but even when i deleted the nsp the first time it failed like at 87%. Now with a renamed file when i try it again i get the failed to install and wont even progress. So which why i assumed maybe some files are still there that needed to be deleted to have a fresh install attempt. I have a 64gb card with 50gb left on so plenty of room. So my concern is if i do get a diff file and i try that and it fails to even try to install (ill get the error code later at work atm)then im at a loss at that point. Which is why i wanted to know where are the files located that are installed to the SD. Thx

Same thing happend to me but on my first attempt with my current file it began to install fine then just failed. Renamed it to just zelda.nsp and still no dice.

Right now, CDNSP is my only source for these .NSP games and even after downloading the game multiple times, still don't work. Funny thing is, while the base Pokken Tournament doesn't install, it's DLC do. I'm starting to think there might be an issue with my SD card or something

So I found a few more versions of "devmenu" and tried them. They all throw the error when trying to install from SD. Any other clues as to what could be happening? Everyone here simply purports that it works, when in fact it does not and it's quite annoying. What am I doing "wrong?" Is Pokémon Quest not supposed to be 1.0.0 like it is on mine? I doubt we could install updates so I figure it should have to be 1.0.0. For what possible reason could it be waiting several seconds and then erroring out like that when I select "Install from SD?" Is there some way to check the error log?

What error code is it showing, just to compare and see if it's the same as the one i'm getting

Good question. The error code is [!]. Seriously, there is no error code. It just pops up with an exclamation mark and says "The software was closed because an error occurred." It's the exact same one you get if you scroll down to firmware. (Apparently it does that for everyone though.)

If I scroll down to the Error tab of DevMenu the last error code was thrown on the 23rd, so apparently it's not important enough to log at all. I guess there's no way to debug this, is there?

Only one other person had that issue when installing games, literally no one else does. So far i haven't seen anyone offer an explanation

Ashura66 · Jul 27, 2018

So i got news, i think the issue might just be my memory card. Tinfoil just threw an error saying couldn't mount memory card

The only thing that I don't know how to do is to inject hekate payload. Great guild btw

Drag the hekate file onto the TegraRcmSmash.exe

Not really an issue installing games though, I can't even get DevMenu to look at my SD card. Weird. Tinfoil does not have that problem. I have installed several base games with that. Why in the world would DevMenu be crashing without a report when it goes to look at my SD card? I wish I had another one to test with, but I do not.

Few questions to those of you using a working version: How long does it take to load the UI up after selecting "Install from SD?" Mine waits about 4 seconds, then throws an error. Also, are the save games supposed to show their names and icons, because they don't on mine.

Below are attached screenshots:

I don't know about the saves, i haven't checked but i'm pretty sure they should show what game they are of. As for the UI, it's instant for me. I've just been having issues actually installing games recently for some reason though i suspect it's my microsd

This was a problem I’ve had a few times. I’d also get a frozen switch while installing, I’d forever say “processing install”, or something like that. Copied the dump back over and reran. It worked.

I think the issue was actually my MSD card. I bought a new one today and it seems to be working fine

slaphappygamer · Jul 27, 2018

I’m trying to find out if there is a specific allocation size that the card should be formatted with. I just used the default size. Also, now that I think about it, I transferred the files with the sd card adapter. I’ll try to use my usb card reader next time.

Please tell me if you find a solution to this. I have the same problem.
First time I got in to dev menu but I could not install anything.
After a restart I can't even enter dev menu. I get the same error message as you do.

MatteKalle · Jul 27, 2018

My SD card is 256mb formated as exfat.
But now I also have tried uninstalling dev menu (pokemon) and using a 8gb sd card formated with fat32 and I get the same error when trying to install a game "failed to install the nsp file. (result:0x00244802)".
I can only assume that I won't be able to enter dev menu at all if I restart.

MatteKalle · Jul 27, 2018

I'm getting the same error even though trying this guide instead =(( - https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-use-devmenu-on-4-0-0-5-1-0-offline.512627/ .
Don't know what more to try right now.
All help apreciated.

MatteKalle · Jul 28, 2018

Hmm.
I have now tried two other nsp-files and they are now working. Seems to be the nsp-files after all.
Its now working for me using this guide - https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-use-devmenu-on-4-0-0-5-1-0-offline.512627/

Ill be back if something comes up.
