hey bud, its frustrating when things are kind of everywhere rather than centralized with cleaerer instructions (unless I'm missing something). I literally just installed tinfoil last night and I'm up and running without issues. I reformatted my sd card because my old install was outdated and rather than trial and error setting up atmosphere, tinfoil, retroarch etc, i did it fresh. So to get TinFoil as of today Jan 12, 2022 For the actual file, I went to the tinfoil website - https://tinfoil.io/ . You decide if you want to open this link, but you can also just google tinfoil. download the self installer, current version is Tinfoil 13.0 NRO. There are 4 options, I chose this. I then used this Youtube guide ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dy9x1g5iDgk - or search - How To Install Tinfoil And Get New Game Section on Switch! ("Working 2022") ). Start at the 1:47 mark if you already have atmosphere, as this is where the Tinfoil guide starts. You can stop at 4:20 at they proceed with sigpatch, tegra instructions (assuming you have these already). Assumingyou know how to inject a payload already, continue from 7:53. It is the bootup menue and opening Tinfoil from your switch. So these instructions again are assuming you're good to go with everything else except Tinfoil, if not, just follow the entire video. (i'm not sure if I could post links, hopefully this doesn't get deleted) Answer from Number_2_Dad on reddit.com

Option 1: PC and Tinfoil. Plug in switch with tinfoil open, drag nsp from pc to "install nsp" folder Option 2: PC and DBI. Plug in switch. Open DBI, select MTB Responder. Drag nsp from pc to "install nsp" folder. Option 3: Tinfoil and shop. I can advise pixelshop. Add pixelshop to tinfoil (see sidebar for discord links for pixelshop). Click the game you want and install it. For homebrew apps, just drop it in the sd/switch folder and it should be available from your homebrew launcher. This covers every way I have installed a thing!
