Thanks for the replies. Regarding Deepsea Toolbox, I'm sure it's the right file, downloaded from their GitHub. I saw someone on this site who had the same problem, but I didn't find a solution.
Regarding worms, I downloaded various versions from various sites, but it doesn't work. Maybe the update is corrupt. I tried two different ones.

You can grab 4.04 from here but keep in mind deepsea haven't had an update for over a year.

You can install homebrew menu nsp to enter full ram mode if that is your goal.

I personally use UltraHand, it's similar to Tesla menu and is being actively developed. Try emuiibo with that one and see if it works.

It's ok, I was able to solve the issue on my own. It turns out that Tesla wasn’t fully updated. However, now I have a few other problems:

1) I spent all day trying to figure out how to emulate GBA games on the Switch and get them to work like they were official Nintendo releases, but my Switch keeps bugging out. I'm able to get GBA games to run at least on my Switch, but when I try to use the NSP Forwarder Generator to put them on my homescreen and other apps, they appear as "?" icons. They still run when I click on them, but I want them to appear properly on my homescreen.

2) My Homebrew apps tend to crash whenever I try to use the DBI app or try to update Retroarch. I ended up having to giveup on Retroarch and just use mGBA. I also tried to install my generated NSP files through DBI, but just using the program causes the app to crash and gives me the generic "The software was closed because an error occured" message.

3) My Switch gets stuck in an infinite loop telling me to "please wait" whenever I try to start an app (unless I just booted up the Switch) when I'm connected to the internet. I'm able to bypass this issue when I put my Switch to airplane mode, but why is this happening in the first place, and won't running my Switch in airplane mode limit the functionality of the device?

I know that sphaira can make forwarders but I'm not really experienced with emulation on Switch. I believe that NSP Forwarder Generator needs to be updated in order to work on more recent firmware, but from what I've seen it's yet to be updated.

2) My Homebrew apps tend to crash whenever I try to use the DBI app or try to update Retroarch. I ended up having to giveup on Retroarch and just use mGBA. I also tried to install my generated NSP files through DBI, but just using the program causes the app to crash and gives me the generic "The software was closed because an error occured" message.

Regarding DBI, are you using the unofficial English version? The author of DBI apparently made it so that if you ever try to run an unofficial translation the app will randomly break here and there. I doubt that using Russian one afterwards will fix the issue either. There's a whole controversy going around the DBI that it's sometimes hard to figure out why it doesn't work when it should. I've been using the latest Russian version since the beginning and I never run into any issue with any game so far.

3) My Switch gets stuck in an infinite loop telling me to "please wait" whenever I try to start an app (unless I just booted up the Switch) when I'm connected to the internet.

Not sure what online functionalities are you using on a regular basis but I'm in Airplane Mode most of the time unless I want to play in local multiplayer or update an app or something. For blocking all of the Nintendo stuff I'm using DNS MITM and sys-patch probably patches the rest of the issues. I can't remember the last time I've seen the "Please wait" pop-up unless I'm playing the game for the first time. One of the Ori games used to do that due to the requirement of the linked NNID but linkalho fixed it but that's pretty much it.

I'm sorry that I can't help you out much. ^^

Is there a good place to locate the games so I can play them on the cfw switch? I tried to do a search but not much came back that was helpful

According to the rules that you should read at least once, we aren't allowed to link to any sites hosting pirated games and other media. It shouldn't be hard to find them, really. Most popular ones do come up in Google search results for me.

I can only find them on torrent sites. I don't have an issue of grabbing a torrent wanted to see if there was a nice spot like this forum that shows what the community thinks about it instead of grabbing it and hoping it's good.
I had no luck on google that's the only reason I came here to ask

Hi everybody, I updated my switch to the latetst atmosphere with the latetst Firmware 21.2.0.0. Newest fusee, newest hektate. Everything runs fine except the installing from xci files via mtp installing Mode.
My switch rans into an error, and I have to restart. Nsw files are running smooth.
Someone got an idea?
I found one Post on reddit with the same error. His solution Was to Start sphaira by pressing the R-Button? Didn't worked for me.

Is you sys-patch up-to-date and working properly?

 

[SaGer27]

I'll give it a try I think my were version 1.5.6

 

[Blythe93]

I'll give it a try I think my were version 1.5.6

That will probably fix it. I personally use the latest Russian version of the DBI and it works every time I install the game, no issues whatsoever.

 

[SaGer27]

No still the same error?

The russian dbi tells me something about missing prod.keys??

Do i need a new lockpicRCM?

 

[SaGer27]

I got it. I can't install xci files through sphaira. I used dbi and it runs fine. Donno why but so far it works for me.
Thank you everyone for try helping me.

 

[Blythe93]

I can't install xci files through spaira.

It could be that some parts of sphaira need to be updated to work on firmware 21.x.x, I'm not sure if there are newer versions available on developer's Patreon page.

seems so, because all other files are up to date.

Hi guys, noob here. Ive got my switch on FW 20.2.0 and Atmosphere on 1.10.2, syspatch says 1.5.9 yet i cant boot up Diablo II resurrected. Any ideas what else i need to upgrade?

 

[SaGer27]

Some more informations? You got a errormessage? Did you have the latest sigpatches? Create latest prod.keys?

Sigpatches take from post:

hey tthanks for replying but id assume if i stated the versions that would be clear? Sigpatches are the latest and the message just states it cant start the game.

Its weird because all the other games like latest octopath traveler 0 and pokemon legends za work fine. I use the latest hekate_ctcaer_6.5.1.bin but do i need to use also hekate_ctcaer_6.5.1_Nyx_1.9.1.zip ?

 

[MortalWombat89]

does the PPSSPP emulator no longer work on the latest atmosphere and 20.2 update?
