First this topic is related to my thread here. I hope this one is different enough to not be an issue.

I have two switches. S1 does not run homebrew for anything other than getting stuff off of it. S2 is modded for cheats and whatever else. It’s already banned so I can care less about what I do to it.

The main thing that want to be able to do is to download games and apps on S1 and transfer them to S2. The problem I’m having is that when I load S1 into either the emuNAND or CFW, none of the apps or games that I downloaded from the eShop will run. It tells me that I need to update it (games) or apps like NES and SNES that I downloaded tells me the data is corrupt. I think if I knew how to resolve this issue, my other thread will be resolved as well.

Edit: to my knowledge, everything is up to date. Atmosphere, sigpatches and HOS.

Edit Edit: Another piece of the puzzle. The game I first wanted to transfer was Skyrim. I purchased it on the eSHop on S1. I dumped the core just fine but I could not dump the updates or DLC and I know I had both. I forget the exact error but it was something like updates weren't installed. When I transfered the game to S2, I got the same prompt telling me that it needs updated. I thohgt okay, I'll grab the updates from the Tinfoil but after installng updates and DLC, I still got the updated required prompt.

Another piece. When I try to lauch the HBC on S1 in full mode (not tablet mode) by holding R on any title, I get the same need to update prompt.

That is a lot of work just to dump contents on S1 then transfer to S2, why don't you use a tinfoil shops or looks online for NSP/XCI instead for S2.

The shop that I have setup on Tinfoil is down and who knows for how long. There is a pro version of the shop but I'm hesitant on giving them my CC number. If I do, how do I know it's up?

I don't have a trusted source to find them online. I tried one and the next thing I knew, I was getting add popups on my browser. I have thought about building a virtual machine for this but just haven't done it yet.

In the end, I would like to know why my purchased items from the eShop will not run/play. There's obviously something I'm missing and I'm sure it's something stupid. I'm not one to immediately jump to an alternative without exhausting all attempts to fix the main issue.

Has to do with signature checking
 
Most likely that's a signatures issue.
Can you go into more detail on that? Why would the sigs be lost or corrupted when making an emuNAND and why would I have the same issue when running CFW?

Not asking for a hand hold but can you give me something to google?

Probably has to do with it checking if you own the content on emunand, my guess you don't have Nintendo account linked in emunand do you?

You are correct. I do not have an account linked. That makes sense. I’ll do some googling.

Thanks
 
I'm going to answer my own question in two parts. The first part is I'm an idiot...... The second part is, I didn't have the apps installed on the sysNAND before I created my emuNAND. They were on the SD card. I do not use the same SD card for emuNAND which explains the error I was getting. Once I realized my mistake, I moved the apps to the sysNAND through HOS, created a new emuNAND and and this time I was successful in dumping NES, SNES and N64 apps.

Oops lol.

Thanks for the support as always!
