Ive had no problems installing any nsp files but these two games just will not install. They both freeze devmenu at the Prepare Installing screen. Any ideas?

they are pretty big games
you might need to be patient, especially if youre installing to SD card

you have to wait, it will start

I appreciate your suggestion, but I dont think thats the issue. My switch has been stuck on the Prepare Installing screen since you posted.

Also I downloaded them myself using CDNSP. These are the only games I've downloaded that wont install.

Try installing to internal memory. That’s how I got a few of my games to install that wouldn’t install to my SX or we’re installing too slow

Had an issue similarly. Realized when downloading from CDNSP, you need to provide the titlekey or else it wont work

Will you elaborate on this? It doesn't use the title key until generation of the ticket. So if you used -g with no title key, it should just get the encrypted files.
Obviously if you don't -r (repack) with a title key then it will not work. There should be no difference downloading without a titlekey, just with repacking.

I'm using a gui that provides title keys. Every game Ive downloaded works, just not the two mentioned in my OP. When I try to install them my Switch completely freezes. I'm going to try installing them to the built in storage tomorrow, but thats not a great solution because I'm going to run out of that storage and future games may give me the same issues.

if you provide the title key, it gets the cert and ticket from the actual Nintendo server. However, if you don't provide it, it will just create a dud cert and ticket which causes it to fail on install

Yes, which is what I had said, only in a different way. If you don't run it with the command -r (repack) then it just downloads the files, no ticket or cert generation.
As I was saying, you have to provide the titlekey when running -r to generate a valid ticket.

wait, are you getting frozen on "prepare to install"? Oh that's funny, you just have to let the command prompt finish it's cleanup and repacking. Those games are huge and take 5+ mins just to clean up. You'll know it's done when the command prompt is back to your cd directory and you only have a .nsp file in the _nspout folder

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
