If you have no idea how to install nsp files.

I installed Mario Odyssey with the lastest update and worked just fine!


PS: If you download nsp with too long filenames you might get an error when installing. Just rename to a short name and you will be good. Thanks to ali.ee for that info.

Doesn't matter where you install devmenu. Honestly it's better if you install it to the system nand. The other nsp you can place them anywhere, even on the root of your SD. You can also delete them after you're done installing

ok thanks. I appreciate your help.

Anytime. I may still be a noob in this but i did get it working. Oh and one thing to keep in mind, on devmenu do NOT scroll down to firmware, it will crash

 

[Cha0tic]

It doesn't give you the start option? That's very strange

By the way, where are you installing the updates/DLC? Memory card or system memory?

Both, I realized like you said might have to play more for dlc because I installed dlc for xenoverse and that works. No problem, xeno dlc is on SD

Yeah i don't know exactly when the DLC quests trigger but i know they do eventually so keep playing and eventually you'l get them

I don't know what sigpatched atmosphere is but if you follow the guide here it will work.

sigpatched cfw is basically sxos. i followed the instructions and it gives me that error, also gives the error on sxos...

Are you on the latest firmware?

 

[Borsalino]

A couple of questions:

1. If I uninstall the NSP backups, boot back into horizon OS and go online, will I still get banned?

2. Can I stay online and not just launch the NSP backup? Will I still get banned by Nintendo? I will only do this when I play online games like Splatoon.

 

[comput3rus3r]

I got this up and running and all games work great. Now my question is if I boot up sx-os will I be able to still run the installed nsp's? also would I be able to run pokemon quest and still get devmenu?

Pretty sure you wont be able to run devmenu as that is being run via atmosphere only. the installed NSP however, i'm not sure, might as well test it

I would test but I only have sx-os in my 4.1 switch which is the reason I used this method on my other switch because it was on 5.1. I was thinking of getting sx-os for my 5.1 switch also.

edit:nevermind. SX-OS just dropped version 1.4 with nsp installer.

Hi Iam get this error too when I try it on normal horizon after I install nsp via Devmenu (which I know it will not work anyway).So Try to use new Hekate 3.2 it work for me. PS I installed Harvest moon nsp. ( I use pack.zip in Op )

 

[bluedart]

Okay, let's get more specific now and maybe I'll have better luck than the other day.

All right, so first step is removing homebrew files from my SD card. I left the switch directory in tact, however, since it shouldn't matter and I've got a bunch of homebrew on there. The second is taking the entire contents from package.zip and placing them into my SD card's root directory. I didn't replace hbmenu.nro since it should be the same either way. I placed DevMenu's romfs and exefs folders and subsequent files under the atmosphere/titles/01005D100807A000 directory. Then for booting I use a paperclip jig TegraRcmGUI and the hekate_ctcaer_3.2.bin. It boots up into the custom firmware and the homebrew channel runs, no problem. Games installed via Tinfoil also work, no problem. I already have Pokémon Quest, so I just open it instead of installing something I already have. When I open Pokémon Quest it opens up DevMenu instead. Unfortunately, however, when I select Install from SD it just hangs there for a few seconds, then throws the error "The software was closed because an error occurred."

I've tried this a few times: deleting and replacing the files each time just in case, and of course booting it again twice or so just to be sure. I even used a few other methods to load DevMenu not mentioned here; none of them can get past this. (Although one of them just hangs forever when I select "Install from SD" and I have to close it by opening the home menu.)

Is there anything I can do to get this to work, or does my switch just magically not work like others? It's on 5.1.0, is a launch switch and has been updated legit through Nintendo's servers every time.

 

[fixingmytoys]

can we use DevMenu on ReiNX yet ?

 

[Deleted User]

Works perfect - great tutorial thanks!!

Did you update to 5.1.0 online or use rajkosto's method(WITHOUT burning any fuses)?

 

[comput3rus3r]

with all the advances in both homebrew and sx-os I just updated to officially. I don't think I'll ever have to go back to a lower firmware now. I don't mind loosing warmboot as I have 2 sx-pro and it's probably quicker to use the dongle than to access a website everytime I have to reboot which is hardly ever.
