I was an sx os user and am now switching to atmosphere because sx os wasn't updated anymore. I am able to setup tinfoil and install nsp via usb. but I have a game only available in xci and tinfoil can't open/install the file. it gives a "failed to open NSP" error (even if the file is a xci). Does anyone know how to fix the problem?

Also I tried to convert the xci to NSP with 4nxci, it's asking for keys.dat. I found people saying I can dump my own keys with lockpick. It generated prod and title keys, but not keys.dat. I downloaded a keys.dat and used 4nxci -k keys.dat command but the program is still not loading.

I know sx os doesn't have the best reputation but I gotta say for a regular user who's not followed years of cfw development, it's so much easier to use... all key functions are in one interface and I never had any problem (until they stopped updating)...

Tinfoil doesn't play well with a lot of files. Use Awoo-Installer or TinWoo instead.

Honestly, Tinfoil's only real use is to function as a Tinfoil Shop.

Thank you! I've spent the last several hours trying to install a BoTW .xci with Tinfoil via a LAN connection only to have it fail multiple times. I tried Awoo-Installer along with NS-usbloader and is copied over and installed in under ten minutes!

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
