Shops

Tinfoil has the ability to add "shops", which are domains that you can add to allow the installation of games from the internet. Currently, the two big shops are /hbg/ and Jack in the Shop.

/hbg/

Benefits ✨

• Has almost every game

• Sometimes gets new games, updates, and DLC faster than other shops

• You can donate to get access to a donator drive for USB installing

• Dumps almost every game in any other shop

Detriments 📛

• Doesn't allow you to use your own theme, has to be one approved by /hbg/ (not going to happen)

• Doesn't have first parties, you have to pay for access to the shared drive that has them

• Discord server gets deleted a lot by Discord Administrators, which makes it harder to get the latest news about /hbg/

• Website uptime has been shotty lately, but has improved a bit

• Donator spreadsheet is broken

Jack in the Shop

Benefits ✨

• Allows you to use your own theme

• Has first parties

• Uptime is better

• Has faster speeds than /hbg/ for some people

• Discord server doesn't violate any Discord TOS, so almost never gets taken down

Detriments 📛

• Doesn't have a donator drive that you can pay for

• Sometimes takes a while to sync the drives for the Tinfoil shop, depending on whether or not the maintainers are available

• Will occasionally break due to changes inside Tinfoil or problems within Google Drive

Party Shop

Benefits ✨

• Has first party games

• Allows you to use any theme

Detriments 📛

• ONLY has first party games, no other games

Shops use Google Drive, not p2p, so you won't get any copyright complaints from your ISP
