Releases: https://github.com/ischeinkman/Nx-Usb/releases
Repository: https://github.com/ischeinkman/Nx-Usb

A program for transferring files to/from the SD card via USB.

Changelog


Version 0.1.0 (Initial Proof-of-Concept):
  • Slowly transfers files a kilobyte at a time between the Switch and computer.
  • Supports pulling a file from the Switch's SD card or pushing a file to the Switch's SD card.
  • UNTESTED whether it can even TOUCH any other file system; don't try if you don't want a possible brick.
  • WAY to many debug statements.

Huh; seems GBAtemp isn't letting me post the repo right now. Weird.

Should be easy to find if you search for ischeinkman/Nx-USB on Github though.

What are the chances to implement it as a kip so it's always running ?

To be honest, I don't know the first think about KIP implementation. Not to mention the entire thing is written in Rust using the normal Standard Library, which assumes a whole lot of things that I don't know if a kip is allowed to assume.

I was looking into the Tinfoil (Goldleaf) USB installer python code... and it basically does the same thing 'transfer files over Horizon OS via USB'... but you cant pick and choose files (like roms etc) ... instead it extracts the NSP and transfers. Not sure if you want to look into that code and see if it helps you? i had a solid 16MB/sec transfer rate

But this is exactly what we all need... so looking for it

In theory if you are not doing anything weird like going out of your way to overwrite the NAND or anything like that it should not be possible to brick.

In practice this thing is completely untested so who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Nice, haven't tested it yet but this is definitely something we need. Keep it up!
Thanks! From what I understand I can't post links until I hit 10 other posts, right?

Thanks Sigma_Guy. I've added your repo into xbins tracker, so as soon as you post a release we will propagate the info/files for you :) Thank you for working on this, we need more basic usb functionality outside of what xecuter has done for their OS.

Thanks for doing this!

I've never heard of xbins-- is that an alternative app store repo?

Either way, there's already an alpha release posted on the Github -- I just can't link it here yet because of my GBAtemp account status.

Yup been around long before the app store ;) I've thought about making a app linking to our server like the app store, but really can't be bothered atm. We have ran a file distribution center since the early 2000's, popular primarly for xbox, but we do other consoles as well. The switch is the best console of all time IMO so it gets lots of TLC.
