nsp files being read-only and not letting me change that

[LamaCorrotta]

so i've modded my switch and now i'm trying to get some nsp files on my sd card and install them through goldleaf: when i try to do that, the switch freezes because the files are set to read-only. no matter how many times i try to switch read-only off, it instantly turns back on. i've read i should "take full control" of the files and folders through properties>security, but since the rentry guide made me format my sd card to FAT32, now i don't have the security tab on the properties section. any solutions? thank you!

Have you tried installing the nsp files directly via USB connection, instead of copying the nsp files?

I have had a ton of issues with installing NSPs since the Switch was hacked. Most recently, my installed games started freezing at random times, but always at the same place per game. The fasted solution that I found was to switch to DBI's installer. Google is your friend, and good luck!

Actually, now that I think about it, DBI's installer was the ONLY thing that worked after I updated to 17.0.1
