Surprisingly there's no main Tinfoil thread here.
As most of you already know Tinfoil is a homebrew app that can install NSP files or extracted games to your Switch.
It's developed by Adubbz and source can be found here:
https://github.com/Adubbz/Tinfoil
According to the readme.md it seems like the network install feature is finally implemented now.
I haven't tried it yet but that might be a workaround for all FAT32 users out there trying to install NSP files that are bigger than 4 GB.
Courtesy of LavaTech, builds are made automatically for each commit at: https://bsnx.lavatech.top/tinfoil/
When ready, full releases will be located at: https://github.com/Adubbz/Tinfoil/releases/latest
I'm not the developer of Tinfoil. Adubbz is. If he creates his own thread, this one can be locked/deleted/merged/whatever.
Please consider buying Adubbz a coffee or a tiny house for his great work:
