Hacking Suggestion NSP Installer that installs over the network

[nachuz]

Hi, what about an installer that install NSP over the network connecting to a PC with IP and port(Like on FBI on 3DS before the QR codes)
So:
1)You don't risk your cert with FreeShopNX
2)You don't need to double your space of your SD
I'm going to suggest this to TX too so I can see who is faster, the GBATemp Developers or the scammers of TX

Just look at what we have right now and think a bit.
Definitely possible, just not now.
1. Good luck geting every single nsp and keeping it updated without banning someone's cert.
2. Doesn't it download, install, remove? Idk here.

homebrew illegal downloaders never work. you have too much maintenance on it. you brats of today's internet can't keep anything quiet so it would spread like wild and be in the headlines in like 2 days.

this was tossed around back in the old Wii days - a WAD downloader/installer. good idea, doesn't work™

I think you both don't understand what he is suggesting- just an installer that pulls nsp from the PC, like a combination of Tinfoil and FTPD. No CDN downloading, no certs.
It's probably not even that complicated to code - it just will be slow as hell, as the FTP connection is. You'll be way faster copying that file onto your SD and then installing it.

If we can get better speeds than with ftpd then it’s a great idea. I already had thought about it, a server side app that would act like eshop and a homebrew app that would access the server and install from it

Imagine installing a 20GB game with something like this

Don’t we somehow do it when installing from eshop or freeshop?

You don't have to download it + transfer it via FTP

not gonna be that easy
he said no need double space on SD card, that means simply sending the nsp over network, install it and delete won't work. maybe something like unpack the nsp before transferring over network, and directly write the file parts to target installation directory

@Olmectron coded this sort of thing for the 3DS. If anyone was going to attempt such a thing they should talk to him or at least study his program.

terrible idea, will never work.
