Installing Tinfoil

Make sure the time and date are both correct on your Switch and make sure you are connected to the internet (with ban protection active).

Download the latest Tinfoil NRO Self Installer (currently 14.00) Here.

Extract the Tinfoil Self Installer folder to your microSD card.

Boot into Atmosphere and enter the Homebrew Menu via the Album Icon.

Press A on the Tinfoil Self Installer app, the screen will blink briefly.

Exit the Homebrew Menu with the Home button, you will now see Tinfoil on your Home Screen.

Installing A Shop

Open Tinfoil and press OK to skip any notices.

Go to the File Browse tab on the left.

Press Right to move over to where you see all the locations - usb:/, usbfs:/ etc.

Press the - button, a different screen will pop up.

In Protocol press A, move up or down and change it to https press A again to accept.

In Host press A when the keyboard appears enter quotanx.in press A again to accept.

You can add a name in Title if you like? something like Quota will do or just leave it blank.

In Enabled ensure it says YES.

Press the X button to save the configuration.

Tinfoil will refresh and now should have Quotashop added. - You can repeat this process to add other shops, list below.

You will have some extra tabs on the left including New Games, New Updates and New DLC. You will also have an XCI and a Recommended tab.

⚠️ New update/DLC tabs only appear if you have games already installed that are missing new updates/DLC.

Go to the New Games tab on the left then move over to the long games list on the right. We need to use the Sort function so the games list has the latest releases at the top.

Press the + button on the long game list and click A on Released. Games with no release date information followed by games from 2017 will now be top of the list.

Press the + button again on the long game list and click A on Released once more. Games released most recently will now appear at the top of the list.

You can also go to the New Games tab on the left and press the + button, it will allow you to use the Search function to look for specific titles.

Installing Titles

Find a title you want to install from the list, you can see what all the buttons do at the bottom of the screen.

Press A on the game, it will take you to the Installer.

Change Include All DLC and Include Latest Update to YES for both and leave all other settings as they are unless you don't want to install to your microSD card, you can change this to NAND if you want to install there.

Click A to install. Do not attempt to exit Tinfoil during the installation.

If you have several games added to install, you can go to the Queue tab on the left and see the install progress.

Once you are done exit Tinfoil using the B button
