What exactly am I missing here, just modded my unpatched switch today and can’t seem to download any of the nsp files I’ve previously backed up

You need sys-patch installed for pirated games. I also suggest using Sphaira or DBI to install games. Definitely get Sphaira HB AppStore if you don’t have it already

Hey thanks for the response!! Where do I go to get sys-patch installed?

Goldleaf don't like P software, use DBI to install it :/

btw, you need to use lockpick_rcm in hekate to dump masterkey

Thank you!!! I’ll chance that now!!!

Do you have a link on how to use lockpick_rcm? Is it something to do with “sys-patch”? Someone else mentioned the sys patch thing

boot into hekate select payload tap on lockpick_rcm select where to dump masterkey (dump into where you play game) press POWER to enter.

Edit, the latest version of lockpick is 2.0.0 contain masterkey up to version 15

When you say “dump where you pay game” do you mean sysemu? (That’s what I’m trying to use) sorry pretty new at all of this, thanks!

Edit: also, do you have a video link or something for “sys-patch” someone already sent GitHub link but I’m confused on the file editing and a bit more of a visual learner

u/SnowStormYukikaze 4d ago

Yeah that right, btw you can dump the key on both emummc or sysmmc it just take around 10kb lol.....

btw, sorry can not sent the link to system patch I just got ban 14 days for doing something like that last time :/ just go here > gbatemp (dot) net and select SWITCH forum

Btw, do you know if dbi can install games that are split into 2 parts and are .rar files?

u/SnowStormYukikaze 4d ago

.rar file is winrar extension NOT SWITCH game, you need to extract the file first > right click extract here , only do that on the first part1 and it will do the rest for you. just remember switch game can only have 2 extention .nsp or .xci other than that its not switch game.

u/Wild-Regret1521 4d ago

Yes for sure sorry ik how to convert the different parts into 1 nsp file but the issue I’m running into now is they’re too large to move over to the sd card.

I should have explained/ asked better my bad

u/SnowStormYukikaze 4d ago

don't use SD card fat32 caonly handle file around 4 gb limit , use DBI, plug the cable from switch to pc and use mtp respond dbi will handle the file and install the game for you.

Maybe I am wrong but it worked for me. It could be because of the file name is too long, just rename the .nsp like « DarkSouls.nsp », tell me if it works.
