How to move NSP files to SD card from Mac? - Lemmy.World

I thought it would be as easy as plugging the Switch Lite or SD card into the Mac and moving the NSP files over into a folder. I have no idea what I’m doing obviously.

I do. I must be missing something here, I’m sorry. I plugged my Switch into my Mac, I can hear that it recognizes something is plugged in but the Switch does not come up as an option.

I don’t have a Mac, hopefully someone who does can help.

Thank you. Do you have to do something on the Switch once in Tinfoil?

You should have the games viewable on tinfoil on the computer, then on the switch use the the file browser on tinfoil to see them and select the ones you want to transfer and install. I think the desktop tinfoil app is called NUT or something?

Switch Lite

Has your Switch even been modchipped? Only the original V1 Switch can be soft modded. All other Switch versions require a hardware modchip to be installed.

Regarding moving (any) files:

Regarding installing (NSP) files:

Note:
You will likely use the local internet option to transfer/install files.
