Hello. Pretty much a noob here when it comes to hacking switch. Anyway, I trying to install games on the switch that i already purchase. I tried with Pokemon Sword, and Now i am trying with Animal Crossing. I use Atmosphere latest version supporting 9.2. I used NXdumptool to download the file and I was told to use FAT32 to install games. 64GB. It split into 2 files one that has 4 GB and the other with 2GB. I When i try to install iit into lithium it doesn't work. I was told That Atmoshpere doesn't support XCI and it has to be in one file? And so I have to coverted to NSP file? I tried using 4nxi and It could only do the $GB Xci but not the other file. I also tried n1dus as well, but I couldn't fin the nro file to put into the sd file. So I am very lost on what to do. Any help would be appeicated.Hopefully i put this in the right place.

You can install it over USB with TInfoil. Also, there is a way to make the Switch see it as a single file by putting all the parts in a folder, and marking the folder as "archive", they need to be named in a certain way though, there are splitting tools that do this for you, I'm not sure if nxdumptool already names them the correct way.

I also install the nut server. Don’t know who to use it? However when I try to even launch it, it just give me a back screen. Is there a step by step process on how to do this?

Finally got to install a game. had to merge the file using xci cutter, then divide it using dividnsp, archiving the file and putting it into tinfoil for it to work,

The solution would be to first convert the file from XCI to NSP, and then split that NSP into 4GiB chunks which can fit on the Micro SD card. Then, set the Archive attribute on the folder and files so that NSP install tools can read the converted software and install it.
XCI files are typically used to install and play games on a Nintendo Switch console using a custom firmware, such as Atmosphere or SX OS. XCI files contain the entire game content, including game data and updates.
XCI Switch games are game files designed for Nintendo Switch console, stored in XCI file format; these files contain entire game's code, assets and save data allowing players to enjoy games without need for physical game cartridges; to use XCI Switch games, custom firmware (CFW) like SX OS or Atmosphere is often ...
File Splitting is the technique of breaking a large single file into many files so that each individual can work on a specific file is known as file splitting. This improves efficiency and makes it easy to work. Basically, it is separating your code into multiple files rather than having it all in one.
Download the ISO image, then open File Explorer and right-click on the file. From the pop-up menu, select the Mount command. This will open a virtual drive that is visible in File Explorer, from which you can install the software.
Generally, the exFAT format is considered the best solution for USB drives. It doesn't have a massive overhead like NTFS but is faster, more efficient, and more reliable than FAT32. It doesn't have limited file storage and is more compatible with high-capacity USB drives.
Open Ryujinx, go to the top left corner and click on "Tools", then under "Install Firmware" click "Install a firmware from XCI or ZIP". Navigate to the firmware zip file and click open. When prompted if you want to install firmware, click yes.
Copy sources\install. wim to your local PC. The examples below use C:\sources\install. ...
