Ah balls. Got an error and I've no idea why. I've ran the firmware with layeredfs. I'll try a different game.

Did it error out straight away? If so, i bet a problem where you edited the title id (main.nprm). If it booted then crashed after a while, then try different game

So did i understand it right?
I need 2 Games todo this?
Extract romfs and layerdfs from the title i want to play.
Create a folder on the sd card with the name of the game i want to use the license from.
Then copy the files to the sd card and edit the .npdm file in layeredfs to the id of the game i want to use the license from?
Seams all a bit complicated, would be happy for a detailed easy to understand guide :)

It was straight away, there were no more records in the hex for the title ID. However, the homebrew loader is not working either when I press the album so I'm not sure if I've done something wrong. I booted with Layered after copying these files over...

Switch backup loading is here: [prebreak]1[/prebreak]

1) Get a title id of any game you have installed from http://switchbrew.org/index.php?title=Title_list/Games (this is your target titleid)
2) Create a directory on SD : sd:/atmosphere/titles/*target_titleid*
3) use hactool to extract the romfs.bin and exefs files from your main nca from the game you want to run instead of your target (its in secure from XCI - the biggest one)
4) put romfs.bin in sd:/atmosphere/titles/*target_titleid*/romfs.bin, exefs files into sd:/atmosphere/titles/*target_titleid*/exefs/
5) Edit titleid in main.npdm (in exefs) to contain target title id (this might help http://switchbrew.org/index.php?title=NPDM)
6) run a fs_mitm containing CFW release, run your target app (https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-get-layeredfs-working.507460/)

Note that saves don't work for me atm, you should wait for mememenu/similar.
Minecraft works, others not tested.
