Hi everyone!

I've made a gamecard installer, which as the name suggets, installs your gamecards directly to your switch!

The app is quite simple, with only 3 options.

1. Install to the nand.
2. Install to the sd card.
3. Exit.

However I spent some time polishing the UI and added some cool features as well.

• Support for multi gamecards (gamecards with multiple games inside, press L / R to cycle through them).
• Full touchscreen support.
• Music support. Simply drop any .mp3's into the app folder /switch/gamecard_installer/ and the app will play these songs at random! (sub folders are supported).
• Displays gamecard info such as total size, key generation and app ID.
• Displays free nand / sd card memory. This is updated after installing a game.
• Cleans up all placeholders on startup. This means if you used an app that failed to install a game and it didn't delete the placeholder after, my app does it for you.
• Should anything go wrong, a error code for that specific error will be displayed. This will save time when reporting issues.

A guide for installing this app, as well as a guide on how to compile app can be found on my repo (linked below).

v1.0.1:

• Fixed incorrectly returned the sys version number (fw 8.1.0 would be returned as 8.0.1).
• Fixed bug that would cause the installed game to sometimes still as a gamecard.
• Fixed bug that would make it so that it would sometimes not push the correct application record which caused game updates that was previously installed to say that it was not.

v1.0.0:

• Initial release.

I Also have the similar issues the game says corrupted after Atmosphere 0.12 , i tried removing the game completely and do the copy again but still the same error i also install sigpatches from sdsetup when i upgraded to atmosphere 0.12

hey NVM I was able to resolve this ....and again thanks for your wonderful contribution ... sad to see you leaving the scene


Solution:

i deleted everthing but emuMMc folder and nintendo folder also before downloading make sure to take backup of certain stuff thats you modified based on ur use ex contents and config_templates folder in atmosphere ,as i made some change for my needs etc..


and then downloaded my files using this settings from sdsetup offcourse mandatory stuff are atmosphere ,sigpatches and kosmostoolbox other are to be installed as per ur requirements , but below is my config .

https://sdsetup.com/console?switch#...tallernx;fusee-primary;hekate;atmos_sigpatch;

and then copied back my backed up folders and files that were changed by me then once in , i used the tool to backup and this time it worked without anyissues(also i upgraded the game to the latest ver via local method before doing this but this shuld not matter from my past experience). now i am to play the game without cart

I have tried all that. Nothing is working. I'm at a loss as to why it's only started happening now. Someone else tried theirs and they get the same issue also with an old game that hasn't had any updates at all and their dump of game wont open as says error try again from home screen and when you try again it says corrupted data. I am on the latest version 10.0.04 AMS and 0.13.0 E

Used this to install my copy of BOTW and now it thinks the game cartridge is permanently inserted? I cant delete it from normal settings because it keeps asking me to remove the ghost cartridge. Do I need to delete a .nca in a title manager to remove this? Trying not to completely restart my emuMMC.

Where you using the latest version? This was a problem with an older version of the installer.

did you have anything preinstalled for botw? Did you install anything after installing botw with my installer?

if you want to delete the game, you can use goldleaf.
