Hey Guys

Did Switch Lite and a regular switch for a buddy, The lite loads Tinfoil all the way no issues but the V1 gets stuck at loading sdmc:/switch/tinfoil/db/titles.us.en.json. I tried different sd vards ones I know work as they work in my switch. I'm running the latest firmware, have the latest Tinfoil and this is the only switch i have seen with this issue, I loads to different point on boot up but then freezes and locks up the console. I tested the sd card in my switch with the same exact tinfoil and it loads. I'm stumped

Thanks

Can you pull it from here? https://tinfoil.media/repo/db/titles.US.en.json
Could be that the file on the sdcard is either corrupted, or blank? I've had this a few times. If its blank, it could be that your ISP is blocking the .io domain.

If you are on 19.X.X, and the latest tinfoil. It has been very slow at times. From what I've seen, its not overclocking correctly and thats causing things to be slow. So if your roms folder has a bunch of roms in it. Its probably taking a LONG time to read all of that. So my guess is that mixed with a slow sdcard already.

Oh man, just download from rom sites like what it's always been then install using DBI. Obviously, can't link it here.
