hb-appstore VS Goldleaf

Do not use Retroarch, instead use MelonDS (you can find it in the homebrew store or here) and enable ARM Jit Recompiler. It should work fine, but I had some text troubles when I tried Mario & Luigi Partners in Time and I suggest to install switchroot Android to use emulators there

install the homebrew appstore GITHUB - HB APPSTORE if you haven't already. Try the emulators. Retroarch, Tesla for system information overlays, Daybreak for updating firmware, 90DNS to test if you are properly blocking the Nintendo servers. FTPD for FTP. NUT (Windows app) for Tinfoil, makes USB transfers easy. Especially useful if you need to convert XCI to NSP. Once you get bored. Install Android.

Homebrew app store - you can install many homebrews like retroarch, goldleaf, incognito, themes and more

It's better to just Google the app your after and get it off their GitHub so you know the apps are updated for example if you want tinfoil Google tinfoil and then copy all the apps you want into your switch folder this will put them all in the album. But here is the nro for the Hb store https://github.com/fortheusers/hb-appstore/releases

wiiu.hacks.guide and an app on the homebrew appstore that I forget the name of, i think it's called am64ds patcher?

The guide isn't meant to give you homebrew applications, only the required ones. I would recommend getting the homebrew appstore to easilly get any app you want (including tinfoil). You can get it from https://github.com/fortheusers/hb-appstore/releases and you have to just put it in the "Switch" folder in your sd card. From there just open hombrew menu and it will be there

You can find the appstore here -- https://github.com/fortheusers/hb-appstore/releases. As it says, this is one of those that wants to be in its own folder, so sdmc:\switch\appstore\appstore.nro.

It sounds like you are new to Wii U hacking, so I recommend that you use wiiu.hacks.guide to homebrew your Wii U if it isn't homebrewed already. If it is, I recommend you get the Homebrew AppStore (if you don't know how to install it, look here). That way if you have a question like this again, you can check there first or use Google before asking us.

Try downloading a fresh copy of the homebrew app store and replacing the one in your "switch" folder on the SD card. Make sure your time and date are correct on the switch

Found this on their github: https://github.com/XorTroll/Goldleaf/blob/master/Quark.md

you can use goldleaf (on the switch) and quark (on your pc) (link to quark guide) download Zadig from that guide as well or your pc won’t recognize the switch or vise versa

Is your Goldleaf up to date? I got this same error (2356-0001) when trying to install NSPs after updating to firmware 16.0.2 but after downloading and running the new versions of Goldleaf and Quark it worked fine again.

There are a ton of ways to do this. My process is to grab the NSP, then plug my Switch in (via usb) to my computer. From there I use goldleaf/quark (https://github.com/XorTroll/Goldleaf) to navigate to the NSP and install the game).

Goldleaf - like microsoft multi Explorer

I'll leave you the link of the latest version here: https://github.com/XorTroll/Goldleaf/releases/tag/0.10

No and yes. You cant import these icons and make a pfp like the default characters with these pokemon. But, you can make your own profile picture with these pokemon and set it to your user account with goldleaf

did you try google? link

Install quark to your pc
