Make sure you are using the latest version of Atmosphere, and make sure you are using the latest signature patches for that version of Atmosphere.

i am iam using AMS 19.1 with sigpatches and iam on 12.0
When you say the game won't launch, what do you mean? Also, are you sure you are using the correct and up to date patches? If you are using fusee-primary as your bootloader, use the fusee patches. If you are using Hekate without chaingloading fusee-primary, use the Hekate patches.

same error
That was pretty quick to replace your patches, reboot Atmosphere, test the title, and post that it didn't work. It should be noted that a previous version of these patches was incomplete, so replacing them is recommended.

If you did replace the patches and it didn't work, I would recommend download the NSP manually and installing it using something like Awoo Installer. If the title works after that, then you've narrowed down the problem. I personally only use Tinfoil for Tinfoil shops, but I basically never use them anymore since they're becoming more and more unreliable.

What do you mean it takes up a lot of storage? Download the NSP file on your computer and install the NSP to your Switch over a USB or Wi-Fi connection using Awoo Installer on your Switch and something like ns-usbloader-5.0 on your computer.

Do the games have cloud icons by their names? When games fail to download what error does tinfoil give in the console tab?

Not having a lot of storage shouldnt be an issue for downloading sigpatches, theyre a few kilobytes. And you didnt answer the question about what errors tinfoil gives.

With sigpatchs I use aio switch update and the error tinfoil give is when I download something it won't download anythin it just says failed in the queue

I think he's referring to manually downloading NSP files.

Yeah, that's a completely different error than being unable to open titles from the home menu. Most likely the Tinfoil shop you use is down, or you're running into a quota issue that will remedy itself over time. There are several alternatives you can find using a quick Google search.

That being said, the quality of Tinfoil shops has been diminishing over time. Quotas are a problem, shops are shutting down, etc. Sometimes, the only scene releases are files that Tinfoil refuses to play nicely with for authentication purposes, even though the files are fine, so they're effectively absent from any Tinfoil shop.

I keep Tinfoil on my Switch to periodically do a quick check for absent updates and DLC, but I generally download my NSP files manually and install them with Awoo Installer over a local Wi-Fi connection.

There is a specific console tab in tinfoil that displays detailed errors. Anytime you're asking for help with tinfoil downloads you need to say what happens in that tab. Where are you installing from, what source?
