Issues getting tinfoil to work

[Yato4802]

if you dont have tinfoil already on your switch then use the appulet version then i recommend launching sphaira and and highliting the tinfoil and install a forwarder for it well having tinfoil highlited press the x button for options it should show there an option to install a forwarder

Question about that kefir zip does it change the switch serial number to

if you are refering to it hiding the serial than yes because it comes with exosphere but i dont recommend trying to go online well using this. this is typicaly meant for emmunand use, meaning you are running an emulated switch off of your sd card, if your system is banned then it does not matter but if you are not banned then be careful and if you run this behind stock mode do not install anything using installers like tinfoil or goldleaf and any other that can install nsp files as this will leave a trace on your system and get you banned. on emmunand it is set up to block communication to nintendo servers and you can do what you want on emmunand install what you want as it is offline to nintendo and is seperate from your system partition if you are asking does it change what nintendo can see as far as i am aware no it does not as the serial is built into the hardware i know that exosphere can blank your prodinfo but i dont think this will stop you from getting banned because the minute you go back into fullstock nintendo sees everything thats been done to the system partition as installing things leaves trace data in log files that as far as i know cannot be erased the only safe thing you can do is transfer gamesave data to and from the system partition but you have to make sure its not a modded save with certain games, one example is smash bros a modded smash bros save could get you banned however i have successfully used modded saves in pokemon scarlet marvel ultimate alliance 3 dragonball z kakarot and a few others a good rule of thumb is if the online is competitve and your modded save can give an advantage then dont inject it to the system partition because nintendo watches certain games for modded saves which could also get you banned so just be carefull what you do and have fun

Well the switch is already banned so not a big deal rn

or you could try the modified atmosphere called kefir its what i am currently using until the tinfoil devs finally do a proper update

Your awful clever for a frog, you one of the hidden prince frogs? Also thanks.

My experience using Tinfoil with atmosphere 1.10.2 (I have a personal shop set up with google drive and so far there's no other app that supports it besides Tinfoil):

• I tried using Kefir, but I disliked the changes to the booting images (but you can use patches to remove them, nothing serious), and also it seems to use incognito only; nintendo servers were not actually blocked. It may have been user error, as I just copy-pasted Kefir over atmos. So beware; do a clean install instead. But Kefir in itself seems to be almost the same as HATS pack - I'd personally stick with HATS.
• The best solution was this godsend: patched package3 files for Tinfoil support on new Atmosphere releases. Just copy over your package3 file and you're done, Tinfoil's up again. I boot from fss0 just to be sure.

Works, but tinfoil text is messed up. Keyboard is weird, and I can't add anything cuz I don't know what I'm clicking on.
