I had a failed nsp install before(dumped keys got corrupted somehow) you may have to go on the sd card in this case and delete the generated files to avoid having errors

THIS IS VERY WIP

IF YOU ARE GETTING AN ERROR LIKE THIS

Error: Unable to open file /tinfoil/zerotwoxci/ncas/ 0x00000202
DOWNLOAD AND USE THE NEW ATTACHED FILE INSTEAD OF THE OLD ONE AND IT'LL BE FIXED

Hey,
I've been working on an XCI installer for a while now and here it is.

It's a modded version of tinfoil that allows you to install XCIs.

Instructions:
  1. Put your keys on the root of your sd called prod.keys (I recommend using kezplez to get the keys due to it formatting the keys correctly because weird formatting can mess it up)
  2. To use it just place the XCI in /tinfoil/zerotwoxci/gamehere.xci

Source: https://gitlab.com/2168/zerotwoxci

Precompiled binary is attached just drag and drop into your switch folder and run.

This does not work with atmosphere nor do I intend to target atmosphere as it requires the third system patch which lets you use use a program nca with a corrupt sig while the acid sig is fine. I had a way to patch the ACID sig but that was very very slow and I may redo it in the future but honestly it is not at the top of my list of things to do at the moment.

List of future updates:
  • Do everything out of main XCI file without making new ncas to make SD corruption risk a lot lower
  • FAT32/Split XCI support

DISCLAIMER: I TAKE ZERO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY BRICK OR DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE EVEN IF IT IS SUPER UNLIKELY. ALSO ZERO RESPONSIBILITY TAKEN IF YOU DECIDE THAT ZEROTWO IS THE BEST GIRL AND YOUR FRIENDS HATE YOU FOR IT. please note there is a very possible chance of corrupting your SD card when you use this tool and I recommend backing up everything but the tinfoil folder before you use it as it a small backup and it means if you do corrupt your sd you can just reformat and copy the files over

Love Elise and the rest of the members of 2168-0002

PS: if the XCI does not install please reply with the name of the game and a photo or screenshot of the problem.
You are the best!!!! Good bye NSPs

Hello everyone. I am trying to use ZeroToXci but I have not had any success. I followed the tutorials on this website with dump NAND, keys, etc., and have the keys named as prod.keys in the root of my SDCard. When I attempt to load the xci file it looks like it is importing the keys and decrypting everything. However, at the end I get this error message OpenFileSystemWithId:103: Failed to open file system with id. Error code 0x00234c02. I'm using the latest tinfoil and the latest ZeroToXci

Did I do something wrong? I dumped my keys using Kezplez, but I am on 6.0.1. Does anyone know what is going wrong?

What's the trick to installing XCIs Larger than 4 GB on a FAT32 card using this method? No way to copy them over pre-split is there?

Use usb install with tinfoil, so convert the xci to nsp and install with usb.

Thanks so much! This is a life saver. One question, I couldn't find it off Google, if you use this to basically install the game- can we delete the xci files then?
New to Switch, spent one night getting everything set up (tired...)
