I have a Switch running 2.3, and have trouble running Tinfoil. I have tried several versions, but I just get a black screen when running it, and I have to force shutdown by holding the power button. Has anyone encountered this problem before?

Yeah I encountered that problem on reinx, I think it had to do with my game card still in the slot. I just use hekate with sigpatches, that works for me.

Doesn't seem to work without a gamecard in the slot either. I use Hekate with the newest SDFiles... Are you running 2.3? I'm wondering if it has to do with using a FAT32 formatted card?

Switch's filesystem service has this bug since ever.

Connect your sd card to a windows PC and select everything inside.
Right click, properties, advanced, disable "folder/file is ready for archiving". Done.

Old thread but thanks for, homebrew now shows up.

But - installed nsp games now won't launch, "The software was closed because an error occurred".
Have to delete games and reinstall nsp from tinfoil.

fusee primary should boot fine.
Edit: ah it's bug in fusee secondary. So not related.

Btw, SX OS has problem with hekate. (from github: )

Well...

That's because sx loader has incomplete hw init and assumes hw values.

This will only be "fixed" because, hekate is intended as a bootloader that can launch anything.
If they change the loader in the future for various reasons, this will be dropped through.

I have a lot of crash on 4.1 and layerFS...
Same here, I've been inactive for a while and I decided to update the SD Files: I crashed when Launching Homebrew Menu and on the Older Layered FS after going into HB menu, then using layered fs and go back into HB Menu I crash.

Minimal-SDFilesV8 still includes the sigpatch folder. Is this one really necessary?
Oops, that was on accident

Both zips are useless soon either way, don't worry :P

I can't use last version of app store: it starts but button's images aren't displayed.
Fixed

Probably should ask XorTroll

That's a problem with LayeredFS, not my fault *shrug*

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.
