I dunno if this is allowed, but just in case... I finally activated CFW on my Switch and a family member (siblings) asked me to do the same with theirs. But the catch is; they can't play the games they installed with CFW on the OFW screen. Everything becomes corrupted. What I did:

1 - Boot RCM
2 - Boot Hekage
3 - Boot CFW sysNand
4 - Launch the HB Menu via a game
5 - Load GoldLeaf
6 - Install the LEGIT dumped .nsp files on my siblings' Switch (games that I bought, NOT warez games)
7 - Play a little bit on CFW, just to create a save file
8 - Completely shut down the switch
9 - Turn on the Switch on OFW (no homebrew)
10 - No games are working (ERROR MESSAGE - ''Unable to start software, return to HOME menu then try again'') for ALL Games

Is there any fix for that? My siblings are a bit worried, they have no PC for the payloads... :(

The fix is to buy the games. Do you really think that these installed files you put on there are really going to work on just ofw?

I see. Well, thanks for your answer :) maybe the next step would to buy the games that I already have and give them to my siblings. A bit expensive, but worth it.

It doesn't matter if it's a game you dumped yourself or if you downloaded it from the internet. A nsp file is a nsp file. You still need CFW and sigpatches to make it run. As for your sibling, pushing a payload can be done without a PC. Look for RCM Loader One dongle, or Rekado if he has an android phone.
