can someone tell me the accurate names for the games i put pokemon sword as the folder name but it says no game folders have been found

nadrino commented 3 years ago

You need to put mods in it. SMM recognize the game for each mod folder by searching for a subfolder which is named with a titleID. If you only put the name of the game on the mod folder but no mod in it, there is no way it can recognize and display the icon.

P.-S. And by "mods", I mean mods that affect the "/atmosphere/content/" folder. As opposed to patches (like 60fps patch), which are only files placed in "exefs_patches" folder. Those don't need a subfolder named with the corresponding titleID.

i did the folder has a contents folder with contents inside it , should i put the contents folder in another folder with the game title id then?

nadrino commented 3 years ago

Well, normally your mod folder should look like this (example): /mods/Pokemon/MyGreatMod/contents/"TitleID"/...

Is it how it looks?

kamikazilucas commented 3 years ago

ok i looked and the title id is there so i dont understand why it wont work

nadrino commented 3 years ago

Do you have the game installed on your Switch ? If not, the titleID image is not present in the NAND. Also, did you check with SMM in the Options if the titleID has been found?

kamikazilucas commented 3 years ago

how do i check that?

nadrino commented 3 years ago

Open SMM, select your mod folder, go to the "Options" tab on the left, and the very last item will be the detected titleID

kamikazilucas commented 3 years ago

yeah nothing shows up just the option to go to the old gui

nadrino commented 3 years ago

If you see the option "Switch to the old gui", then you didnt select your game folder!

kamikazilucas commented 3 years ago

wdym select the game folder?

nadrino commented 3 years ago

Does the folder "Pokemon..." you created appears when you open SMM ?

kamikazilucas commented 3 years ago

Oh I think see the problem here! The "mods" folder has to be located in the root of the SD card! -> "/mods/", not "/atmosphere/Mods" like you show on the screenshot

kamikazilucas commented 3 years ago

yeah ok it works now thanks
