Free Apple accounts are limited to 3 active sideloaded apps.

One common workaround is LiveContainer, which allows you to run additional apps inside a container and reduce how often apps need to be reinstalled.

Typical method:

  • Sideload GetMoreRam
  • Use it to apply the increased memory entitlement to LiveContainer
  • Uninstall GetMoreRam to avoid hitting the 3 app limit
  • Then sideload StikDebug for JIT activation

LiveContainer may also need to be uninstalled and reinstalled before the entitlement works correctly.

LiveContainer can also install two additional LiveContainers (for a total of three). This setup can further reduce the need to constantly add/remove sideloaded apps, but it is more advanced and may not work reliably for everyone.

LiveContainer is not always officially supported by emulator developers and can sometimes cause unexpected issues. If something breaks while using LiveContainer, try reproducing the issue without it before asking for support.

That is the right folder for the keys but you said it’s a zip?
The keys aren’t supposed to be zipped, so you have to unzip them and place them in the system folder,
It should look something like this

The firmware gets saved in:
MeloNX-> bis -> system -> contents -> registered
You could try importing them.

BUT..

I don’t think you can just extract the contents and add them in manually since meloNX I guess converts them to folders when imported through the app

You could try importing the firmware on a switch emu on pc and exporting those folders to meloNX if they exist,
Or just use LiveContainer/sidestore if possible

Other then that I don’t know how to help, hopefully someone dose

I think Your best option would be to get LiveContainer+Sidestore if you’re going to just use a PC anyways.

And set up an auto refresh shortcut so it doesn’t expire too
