In reply to Nynrah. DBI also needs up to date keys to work well. Did you get the prod and tittle keys from 21.2.0 using Lockpick_RMC.bin?

I can't install the XCI on firmware 21.2.0 with DBI 874.It says: Content meta not found. Installation aborted ERRORS FOUND DURING FILE TRANSFER INSTALLATION NxFileViewer says the file is original. My firmware is definitely high enough and I'm using the latest DBI. I don't understand what going wrong here.

In reply to Wolf. Update: it seems that the culprit was the emuNAND with file based mode (SD file) all the time. Creating a emuNAND with "SD partition" mode fixed the freezing issues entirely. The game now runs smooth every single time. So if you are experience freezing/stutters and are using a emuNAND file based, try to create a partition type and see how it goes.

In reply to Rayray. It seems this happens on all Switch consoles that use a XCI version (or an NSP file converted from XCI) of Metroid Prime 4. These freezing scenes are actually video files; real-time cutscenes does not freezes. And it's already been proven that the loading times for XCI files is slower compared to real NSP files on the Switch, so I believe that's the cause of these freezes, since if you use a Metroid Prime 4 cartridge in Atmosphere, these freezing simply don't happen. Unfortunately, nobody wants to offer a native eShop version of Prime 4, so there's no way to solve this problem at the moment.
