Nintendo Account Required

[theteflondon]

Switch 19.0.1
Atmosphere 1.8.0
Hekate 6.2.2
Linkalho 2.0.1
Tinfoil Installer 15.0

I have downloaded 1 game and installed it with tinfoil installer. I linked a fake nintendo account with linkalho. Everything seemed successful. Whenever I go to boot a game it says "Nintendo Account Required" what did I miss?

Probably good idea to tell what game is it.

If you try to play online then obviously it is a no no.

you need a linked account to play offline, use Linkalho.

But I am not trying to play online I am just trying to boot the game.

I know that you can run smash offline on a modded switch just fine because I played it before on a modded switch without linking an Nintendo account.

Tinfoil - settings - activate fake account

I am still having an issue even after using Linkalho and also using Tinfoil - games with a download icon over them which were purchased previously prior to moving over to the EMMUMCC boot (via Hekate). on my SD card will not launch, and tells me I require a Nintendo Account. I am on the latest version of everything, having just upgraded via HATS-1.8.0-V1.3.

The only solution that appears to work is reinstalling via Tinfoil

You may be missing an update? And of course you would need an account to download the update. If it's legit, then you should be able to update fully in sys, then dump it with DBI or whatever (DO NOT run tinfoil on sys, EVER), and install on emu. If the download cloud icon is there, it's definitely something that is corrupt or missing, and needs to be installed. No icon and still gives an account error, you need to use linkalho AND start it in airplane mode. You can simply ignore what looks like an error, telling you to "turn airplane mode off when appropriate".

And... AIO packs are cringe. If that's all you ever used, then you likely have no idea how to configure your things. And if you do know how to configure your things, installing AIO packs overwrite what you *think* you have configured already...
