r/SwitchPirates on Reddit: Tinfoil NRO won't extract. Can I use NSP instead?
June 27, 2025 -

I tried multiple times last night to download and extract Tinfoil but the NRO is the only thing that won't extract properly. I've installed sigpatches, tried different versions, and looking around forums for help to no avail. I've seen people say to use DBI, but I heard the dev was adding malicious code into newer versions so I'm a bit worried to use that, plus I can't read Russian. Is it an issue with tinfoil itself, or could my PC possibly be blocking the file? Any help would be appreciated.

r/SwitchPirates on Reddit: Tinfoil 8.0+ and NSP forwarder
February 16, 2020 -

Is there any way to stop the latest Tinfoil versions from auto installing an NSP forwarder? I don't want a non-game on my home screen and want to just access the app through the album or with title override on a random game.

October 30, 2024 - Download the applet version and then create an nsp forwarder for it, but i didn't try and i dont even know if it will work ... Yeah, i did the same thing. ... I just did mine for the first time too and I had the same issue. If i'm not mistake they just need to release a new update for tinfoil. it might work if you wanna downgrade your software or something, but i'll just wait ... If u want tinfoil to work, download the nro version and use title takeover to run it in not applet mode and u can use it fine until theres an update to the installer one.
