r/yuzu on Reddit: Where to put firmware (.nca) files?
March 11, 2024 -

Anyone have a link to the original quickstart guide? I recall the folder location is a bit deep, but forgot exactly where to put the firmware files. It's been a while since I set up Yuzu fresh.

Thanks for any help.

What does it mean when an NSP that loads fine on actual nintendo hardware will not run under yuzu and gives a "NCA file has a bad header" error? And what can be done about it?
