    So I'm new to posting here. But I'm having an issue with Tinfoil. I'm on latest OFW, and running 0.16.0 Pre-release of Atmosphere using latest sigpatches. When I launch Tinfoil after rebooting it launches fine but I get two errors after finding discoveries "failed to enable DS" and "failed to initialize usbDs! 01F60000" and then it works fine (although I haven't tried installing games with it so I'm not sure if that works). The issue is after I close it and relaunch it gives a back screen and does nothing, then I have to force shut it down holding the power button. This wouldn't be that big of a deal to me but after updating sigpatches none of my games work and I'll have to reinstall them and I do so by using NUT.

    Afaik I know the latest sigpatches aren't compatible with Pre-Release 16.0 Atmosphere. So you will need to wait a while until they come out and please install stable releases not pre-releases in the future.

    EDIT: You may try downloading these sigpatches but I would recommend you to wait for the stable atmosphere release. It wouldn't take that much time.

    Yea I'm already using those patches. It just sucks because I can't play any of my games that I have downloaded. After I updated sig patches earlier, all of my games have the cloud icon and say that the game is installed on another device.

    I would suggest you wait a few (probably 1-3) days for the stable 16.0 and it's sigpatches.
    And can you try using Awoo Installer + a small sized nsp to see if this way works or not? (Install on system memory)

    Its not Atmopshere or the sigpatches all Installers like Awoo, Tinfoil, Tinleaf, Goldleaf Need updating thats why its not a good idea to update the moment new ofw comes out
