Homebrew RELEASE Tinfoil 12.10 - Now compatible with Hekate!

[Kilim]

thank you based blawar

now please add back the Controversial Yet True statements in the next update

also when updating i had to delete some .json file, might want to fix that in future releases

If any1 had issue installing or launching the latest Tinfoil or issues with launching games, make sure you have latest hekate sigpatch and add these lines into ATMOS boot config in your hekate_ipl.ini

kip1patch=nosigchk
atmosphere=1

Example:

[ATMOSPHERE SYSNAND]
emummc_force_disable=1
fss0=atmosphere/fusee-secondary.bin
kip1patch=nosigchk
atmosphere=1
icon=bootloader/res/atmosphere.bmp

[ATMOSPHERE EMUNAND]
emummcforce=1
fss0=atmosphere/fusee-secondary.bin
kip1patch=nosigchk
atmosphere=1
icon=bootloader/res/atmosphere-emu.bmp

How does Tinfoil determine what games to show on the Recommended tab?

 

[sley]

First time user here, the app is really good and I didn't run into any serious problems but I think the app could be more streamlined.
I think it would be very nice to be able to disable the dialogue prompts from added URLs for example "Eevee Save Project".
Also maybe I didn't look hard enough but instead of asking if a Gamecart should be installed everytime you open the app, there should be Tab or Button for it.

The UI is really nice and I understand that it's probably hard to fit so many functions into the left tab so that's my feedback.

If you arent logged into tinfoil.io, its based on the "Hot New Titles" section of https://tinfoil.io/

Compatible sigpatches are now available on the op!

Updated firmware install with some quality of life checks.

Due to arbitrary limitations implemented by atmosphere, for most people this will fail because atmosphere:

a) blocks writes to nand partitions from homebrew applications such as Tinfoil. With no way to disable. Atmosphere exempts itself for daybreak through a sysmodule exception.

b) atmosphere is configured by default to block nand writes. enable_hbl_bis_write must be set to 0x01

Running Tinfoil in applet mode and reconfiguring atmosphere will allow the install to complete. However the best approach is for someone to fork atmosphere to remove the bullshit.

If Tinfoil is unable to complete the FW install, it will copy the files sdmc:/firmwares/ and instruct the user to finish the installation using daybreak.

So, it auto-updates. How is this disabled or which domains / IPs need blocking?

Three main ways to disable auto-updating (you only need to do one):

1) Run the applet version (it does not auto-update).
2) disagree to the TOS in the Tinfoil app.
3) block DNS resolution for tinfoil.io and tinfoil.media.

While I'm at it, have there been any reports of issues installing via local FTP? E.g. games installing but failing on launch. Not sure if Tinfoil or something on my end.

No reports of that. Which game, and which system firmware are you on? The new Zelda game has been a common report of errors, it requires 11.0.1 I believe.

 

[falcorr]

Various games, possibly all, Atmos. 0.19.3 with 12.0.1. I'm light on details as I've had the issue for a while and forgotten past instances. I thought it might otherwise be related to updating to 12.0.x. It's probably something that's changed with my setup, FileZilla Server or network, something with files being corrupted en route, I'll work it out.

Edit: Can't find a problem beyond the Switch. Hash was fine testing transfer to another device. Something is up on the Switch itself, with Atmosphere, Tinfoil, or whatever else.

So with this new version of Tinfoil do we get all the features that were previously locked behind an SX OS license or some features are still locked? I don't quite remember all the features that were locked but I really want to know.

Finally, the DRM made no sense. Especially since you could easily bypass it if you had an SX OS license with everything working fine.

Sounds like it made perfect sense then.

Um how? Pretty much all the features worked fine in tinfoil using hekate if managed to bypass the DRM

With an SX License, right?

TX has been know to try to bribe homebrew devs in the past.

Temporarily renaming the files patches.ini into anything else also works to bypass the verification.

I stopped using this shitty app as soon as I saw his personal opinion on an app used to download games illegally.



Moron.

Is it known if there is any telemetry in place? If I remember correctly the outdated "Tinfoil Mod" removed it. I'm kinda paranoid about that and am asking myself what data Tinfoil might collect and send to the tinfoil-domains like keys, certificates, installed software and so on?
