By FAR the best and most comprehensive guide to modding on 17.0, wouldn't have been able to do it without you man. Keep up the good work!
Glad this video could help you, thanks so much for your comment and support!
This one keep me helped on doing tinfoil for the very first time! Easy method and explanation, props to u mate! Cheers.
I have tinfoil in my console but there's no games help 🆘
If anyone is having trouble getting Tinfoil to install, make sure you get sigpatches from the previous video. The text guide I followed to get CFW set up did not include that and I figured out that was the problem from watching the previous video.
w mans thanks I was wondering why and he really missed that step
i cant install tinfoil because once i open the installer in homebrew it says the data is corrupted, i tried reinstalling but nothing works. what video are you talking about btw? there's no video that's about sigpatches on this channel.
if the problem persists get the applet version of tinfoil, that’s what I did and it was able to open 🫶
What worked for me was puting the fusee.bin file into bootloader the payload but when you inject your switch use the regular hekate injection not fusee next you will launch the fusee.bin through hekate payload and now try to download if it says corrupted delete it then download again it took me 3 hr to finally get it
where do i find the sigpatches... its not working
Clear and straight to the point. Thank you so much man!
keep making vids they're sick and straight to the point
Thank you! I try my best to keep it simple and not go off topic. I hate videos that take forever to get into the tutorial.
Thanks to your tutorials I was able to set up new switch from scratch. You are great! Thank you very much!
Very clear and easy guide. Saved so much time and effort with your help. Thank you so much, even if you have heard it many times now, thank you!
thank you bro this is the BEST guide in the world, and it still works!!!!! this is the only reason that tinfoil is on my console right now! keep up the good work bro
Thank you for getting straight to the point without any blabbering nonsense. Confirmed working on a Switch v1 running 17.0.1
for me it keeps saying "an error has occoured"
@@TomatoPapyrusGuyever found the fix for that ?
@@TomatoPapyrusGuy how to fix?
DUDE! your videos are so useful! Thanks for all that you do much appreciated. :)
Thank you!! I am really new to all this and get scared of bricking the console but you make it clear enough there's no mistakes.
thank you kristofer your the best i hate carrying my games arround im affraid to lose them just like i lost mario odysee it was so expensive and i never found it im getting around to purchase it and then i can store it safely god knows how much i hate losing my games and this is a great way to keep my games that cost me so much moolah safe
Al fin alguien con valor! Gracias saludos de México
Gracias mi amigo!
love your vids man so simple and informative. Keep it up
these guide is so easy to follow, thank you for sharing it
NUT said "USB disconnected" at first, even though the date and time were set properly. This was fixed by plugging it into a USB-C port in my computer though, so that might be a factor for anyone else who has problems, try plugging it into either a USB-C or USB 3.0 or 3.1 or whatever you got that's highest speed, apparently USB 2.0 might give problems. It might not though, I guess it depends. Thanks for this video though, was very helpful!
PS: The connection did drop after a while but I think the Switch idled out, so it might be important every once in a while to hit a directional or stick to make sure the Switch doesn't fall asleep and lose the connection too.
NO ONE WAS TALKING ABOUT THE DRIVER FOR THE PC THANK YOU SOOO MUCHH
These videos have been really useful, im gonna mod my switch this week and thanks to you i have a good understanding of how to do so; i was wondering if u could make a video on how to get android or linux on your switch as well, but i don't want it to replace the CFW part of atmosphere
yes that's on my to do list. there is a way to do it and i have it on my switch as well.
@@iAmKristoferr its fine i managed to do it :)
Hi, do you know where i can find cheap hackable switch
@@imadpola6782 ebay about $250 thats if you only want the switch screen but if you want it with joycons its gonna be around $400 to $500
Been trying to set up NUT for over an hour. I still don't know what I was doing wrong but I really think I just needed a video to guide me though this because it seems like it's working now lol. Thanks
nice nicer than my method of hooking a usb directly to my switch.
Simple as always. Good job man👍
I try my best haha thank you!
@@iAmKristoferrWHY AFTER I INSTALLED A GAME IT GONE
@@jeyprocketeer turn off delete after i think thats the problem
@@iAmKristoferr hey I did everything in the video and it says I need to own the software to launch it :/
@@I_Smoke_Pressure are you trying to sign into your nintendo account?
Can confirm as of 12/13/23 on a first gen console updated to latest software that this works flawlessly. Thank you for this, it was so much faster and easier than many other videos I've come across so far.
Thank you for that comment brother it’s good to now thay its still working. I bought a new oled one hopefully i wont fuck it up
You're on 17.0.1 ?? about to do this sht now
@@ege2289Did it work? I'm seeing if anyone can confirm it works for OLED models on todays gen or specific gen. OR at least website for latest update on modding the switch. I would greatly appreciate it :D
@@MapleJokerRofl im on 17.0.1 if you have problems update sigpatches
oooooh and i saw your short video with the zelda game and the amibo dressed as link i think you should make more videos in cosplay it was entertaining
Haha! I’m glad you liked it! At first I was a bit embarrassed to do it but it was just a fun little video I made.
I do want to make a video about me making my costumes especially my updated properly painted master sword.
I love this guy so much he is so helpful, im getting my unpatched switch next week and cant wait to homebrew it
how did it go?
@@adamgardezi4895 yeah it went well
hi there. thx for the tut really helped. question. once the game is installed can we delete the original file in the sd card or its needed to run the game. thx!
Once again the easiest tutorial i have found keep up the great content!
i love you man you were such a big help ❤❤❤❤❤❤
awesome video out there! thank you
You're welcome! Enjoy!
I used to download direct through tinfoil but now when I try search for games nothing comes up, any idea why?
Hi Kristofe do you know why i cant install Tinfoil?it alwyays fails to install i tried injecting fusee and heakte both dont work?!
GREAT vid and fully detailed
Great video as usual. Thank you Kristofer!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very Good Tutorial! I did it like in the video but the games are just loading in the home menu and when i click on them there is a error
can someone help?
when I install it from the switch album it says "an error has occurred" my time and dates are correct, please help
Try using a game cartridge instead to launch into the homebrew menu instead of using the album. When launching the cartridge hold the R button and launch the game. It will take you into the "real" homebrew menu. Using the album it only functions at half capacity. That could account for your errors.
Thank you for the easy to follow guide!
great videos buddy you helped me out a lot Thanks :)
Everytime I try to click tinfoil install it tells me error has occurred what do I do?
get sig patches or atmosphere
Hi, can someone help me ? Where can i find games for modded consoles? Xci files? Thank you!
Hi! Did you find out where to find them?
@@ACDIo-1ziperto
Thanks for the help, Kristofer!! This is the best guide out there.
When playing these totally legal games offline, can I only play them in CFW or can I play them in base? Additionally, if I accidentally launched one of these games while connected to the internet, does blocking Nintendo server connections as explained in a previous video of yours protect me at all? Thanks for your help!!
Super clear. Thank you alot
What's difference between .xci and .nsp? And what's prefferable among those two
.XCI is a cartridge dump while a .NSP is a Eshop dump. Hence why if you see online updates and DLCs are usually .NSP. Installing either is fine
Wont let me install tinfoil it says " Corrupt data was found"
mee tooo
This is great and clear and right speed for first timer like myself. Do you have a video on how to update tinfoil and AMS?
👍
Helped me yet again! Thank you for this!
do smash mods please 🙏🏽 😢
Oh most definitely! I have a lot of smash mods set up on my switch. I’ll do one next
@Kristofer I was gonna say, I used to have smash mods but they stopped working, so I followed your how to mod your switch tutorial to re mod it, but now it won't read my ultimate/mods folder, do you know why?
Just made a video on super smash brothers mods
czcams.com/video/QqGfa3RpBR0/video.html
Super cool video! One problem I am having though is that once i get to try and run the tinfoil installer on my switch, it says "an error has occured." I made sure to have the correct time and date. Do you know why this may be happening?
Same idk why it’s doing it
Same
Did you find out how to fix this i'm currently running into this problem 😭
@@W0WlS pixel shop shutdown to the public, unless you were a user before they closed they’re shop. You won’t be able to get in
Anyone found a way to erase or uninstall the corrupted file after unsuccesfully installing this?
I also used this vid to download TOTK, thank you!
Thanks alot finally got arceus to play all because of u bro ...thanks a million😅😅
'unable to start software' ....
It’s most likely that you have old firmware
I found a workaround instead of using the self installer I used the Applet version and it works
whenever i start up tinfoil installer it shows a error?
same
Did you use the applet version instead of the self installer?
@@fiterz28 i figured that out but mostly of people don’t know it
Switch might think its not safe try using a different software to disable that and then use your program
What fixed it for you? @@Heyimnika
5:19 is that someone else holding your phone? I appreciate the dedication
He has both hands on the switch. Obviously there is someone else that needs to hold the phone. Why is this even important to you? Weirdo
Thank you so much!
You're welcome! Glad this video helped you
Do you guys know a good site where i can download the games? Without too many ads. Particularly to get the game installed in the tutorial. Pretty please
Ikr, also looking for it
Ziperto
nxbrew
Maybe u have to use a vpn if it doesn’t work in your country
@@fireball27340it wont even let me download idk why lol
How do you update the games?
You have to reinstal the games but keep tye save file
@@minecradtjennymodpro wouldn't that corrupt it?
@@chicken_fillet8116 I don't think so
@@minecradtjennymodpro oh ok

Romslab

Romspure or romsfun
Cheers mate, helped a bunch :)
Awesome tutorial, cheers!
thank you for this video, it helped alot
Hi Krisopher! The moment I shut down or restart my Switch I lose everything and have to inject again, is there a way around this, other than simply keeping it on all the time? It's very inconvinient whiel traveling because I can't carry the inject file and program with me and sometimes the switch does run out of charge
for anyone having trouble getting nut to say connected, try closing nut (with your switch still in tinfoil), reinstalling the driver, and reopening nut. worked for me
i will try that bro thank you
for me the installation goes really slow(2mb/s) but interestingly enough at the start of the install it goes with 25mb/s , but after like 10 seconds it goes to a constant 2/3 mb/s. Any clue why?
Dear Kristopher, I have some problems with tinfoil + NUT. Is internet necessary on laptop when you activate the tinfoil driver + NUT. And do we need to do something with pixel shop in tinfoil? After the NUT, the nitendo goes in RCM mode, when can the rcmclip be removed from the switch?
Thanks for the good videos. The best i found. Easy to follow.
after you download the games then take out the RCM clip
Man thank you ima sub to you
Thanks for this video! How do I go about adding more games to my switch? Do I need to re-inject the payload etc.? I tried to get a few more games but now my SD card is wiped and the save data also has disappeared for the games I used to have
thanks!!! u rock homie
Cool vid👍
Are other emulator games preloaded on to the switch? Or do you like have to add retroarc etc
Do you need to find the updates or can you just click install with latest update and it automatically finds one? I’m trying to play doom and it says I need to connect to internet and sign in to play
THANK YOU
0:40 Idky but the childish side of my brain tweaked after hearing that. Such weird names/items you’d use for such a purpose.
Awesome tutorial, man! I assume you also need the latest sigpatches to get things working as well?
Correct. You do.
@@iAmKristoferr Thank you!
this doesnt work for me. when i try to install tinfoil on the switch, the switch itself tells me to do a system update and it wont install. is there a fix for this or is it because of the newest version of atmosphere??
Whenever I open the tinfoil installer on the homebrew menu it tells me that an error has occured
Hello my good sir! You've been a god send with these videos. Nut is seeing all but 1 game I have. It's 27gigs. Is that too large? I have a 13 gig game it's seeing.
Great videos :) If i have a title in XCI format , does the update need to be in XCI format also , or can I use the NSP update for a XCI title ?
Find answers yet?
Hey I downloaded tinfoil but without nut and installing tinfoil drivers but could still download games but for some reason for downloading games the game pictures don’t show and only the names is that normal? Also do I need to go back and download nut and tinfoil drivers?
Lets take a shot for how many times he says alright .....drunk yet 😂
Ty for the instructions on how to Nut on Tinfoil.
Hats pack into this tutorial all u need thank u
Is it alright to use EXFAT as a format option? It's what my microSD uses and it's how i modded my switch, and im afraid switching the format to FAT Is going to make things significantly more complicated as i'll have to reinstall everything i believe, which was already a headache. and i'm not too familiar with the technical stuff I did such as EMUNAND or if id have to repartition the microSD if i dragged the files out and then back in post-reformatting.
Edit: I also am getting an error on NUT asking for keys.txt, ive used lockpick in the past but dont have it.
I get stuck at installing tinfoil, the time is in military idk if that matters or not but when I click on installer I get an error message, followed steps word for word and don't know what to do, try to reinstall driver? Do I have to remove or just copy over them
USB Disconneted problem:
I did and redid the entire process on one computer and it always appeared "disconnected".
I did the same process on a different computer and it worked. I don't know if it's the Windows version, the cable, USB port... But if you have another computer to try the process it could be a solution.
Doesnt work. I have the newest version of the payloaders/fuse atmosphere hekate and even tried installing in and out of applet mode. all I get is a "Couldnt not start the software" message, and im using an original switch AND its been modded before
Hello few questions please. I did all steps and nuts connected etc. But when I scan for games i cannot find the ones ending with .xci 2nd a game I manage to find and install there is blue cloud above icon and when I click on game icon there is this message "You must have the software in order to play" and has choices cancel or Nintendo eshop. 3rd some games that installed arent visible to game list next to tinfoil. any solutions ? thanks
hey bro i had the same issue i was installing the update not the game if u have update and game in same folder make sure u install game usually the larger file
I tried to install both at the same time. Clicking the install updates at the same time. But I got the same thing. Please insert game card. Do I need to install just the game first then the update ?
Thanks for the video
My heart says thank you.
So...I did the first mod from your video, but how do I take out the sd card to "reinject" anything? It reboots into standard firmware when removing the card.........?
so, is the rcm plastic thingy, that slides where the joycon goes, only tool that i need to be able to mod the switch, apart from the obvious (pc, usb c cable, software, sd card)?
When I download NUT and try to launch it, it force closes with the error (file “nut_gui_py”, line 8
DLL load failed: the specific module could not be found.
[12252] failed to execute script nut_gui)
Do you know how I would fix this?
Thanks you so much for the tutorial, this method also works whit NSP files ?
When I run nut it gets stuck downloading the same empty file, what can I do to fix it?
Thank you for all of your work 💖
Damn, those fingernails !!! got them Freddy Krueger Claws!!
I'm sorry if this was already mentioned in the video. Once I download the game, do I have to manually update the game when the new version come out?
Yes you do. It’s okay. I try to answer all questions if I can
i know i've commented already but when i put my game into the local scan paths and then press scan the nut.exe command thingy says no nsp no titleid set pls help
Quick Question: i brought SMO physical but i dont have the game on me anymore but the save data is still on my switch so if i do this will i get banned?
Could you do a video on how to add dlc to a game like Mario kart on a modded switch? Your videos are great btw
Yeah for sure. I ran into a lot of problems updating my games too. It’s an annoying process but super simple!
@iAmKristoferr when is this video coming. I'd like how to know how to install game updates and DLCs
thanks god job bro ..
