Homebrew Stuck in Applet Mode.

[7sr2liae]

So i accidentally updated to 16.0 and my switch was bricked, reinstalled everything and now my switch is banned and I have no games on the switch. Tried tinwoo, awoo, tinfoil and the greyleaf apps none of them were able to install any nsp due to applet mode.

Anyway to fix this issue?

Use full ram mode.

Use full ram mode.

"Note : You need at least one title on the console (whether it's an homebrew NSP or a digitally puchased game or a cartridge game). If you can pick an up to date game that's better as you won't be nagged everytime you launch hbmenu."

I don't have any game or cartridge.

You either need to install homebrew launcher forwarder or use a title as specified already. You can only launch full ram mode that way.

You are required to have some app installed. I don't think you can use any title installers without running in full RAM mode.

DBI can run in applet mode, as far as I know.

It can? I remember it yelling at me when I tried.

Yes it can. Blue background is applet mode, black background is full RAM mode. It's explained here.

install any random low size app/game from tinfoil

Doesnt tinfoil require you to be in full RAM mode?

 

[hippotamamus]

I'm pretty sure installing from tinfoil freeshop doesn't need to be in full ram mode, some title with low size like zero zero zero work, as long it pop on home screen to access full ram mode

Doesnt tinfoil require you to be in full RAM mode?

Yes, it can indeed.

@7sr2liae
DBI will allow you to install your first app. Once you have one app (I recommend Othello.nsp because it's only 110M) you can then use title override to get out of the catch-22 and properly install the tinfoil self installer.

Not only can DBI be ran in applet mode, the developer suggests that you run it in applet mode.
