Fluffy

So what's different about Fluffy?
Fluffy is the first to introduce:

• Goldleaf and Tinfoil Support.
• USB and Network install with transfer rate and progress bar.
• Display current install rate in MB/ for both USB and Network mode(Goldleaf & Tinfoil too)
• Display current NCA name and count.
• Transfer mode option switchable between "Normal" and "Safe".
• Individual NSP selection (suggested by: ShadowHand, thanks!)
• Show current NSP being installed
• Switch connected indicator
• USB 5.x Fix (Compatible with Firmware versions 5.x and below)

How-To-Use

• Download and Install Python 3 from https://www.python.org/downloads/. Ensure no previous version of Python is installed. This may cause an error "PyUSB not found". Do not use the 64-bit version of Python 3 with Fluffy.
• Open Terminal/CMD
• Run "pip3 install pyusb" and "pip3 install pyqt5" and "pip3 install libusb" and "pip3 install libusb1"
• MacOS users must also run "brew install libusb". For more info on brew, head to https://brew.sh/.

Going forward,
I plan to support Fluffy for the foreseeable future.

I hope this tool can help anyone and everyone that uses it,

Games are getting corrupted on my 256gb sd card so often (no its not fake). Don't know if 256gb fat32 would really work out either. I only used tinfoil and it still corrupts. No other homebrew apps. Is a 128gb sd card recommended? Starting to believe the Switch doesn't reallly support anything higher than 128gb.

Yes fat32 would be fine for that size. Fat32 would solve your corruption issues. Use fat32. Yes the Switch is fine with bigger cards, mine is 200 and plenty of other people have bigger than that.

Use fat32.

Alright. Well guess im spending millions of seconds just installing at a 10 mbps. I heard fat32 gets corrupted as well just not so often so that made me scared to use it regardless

I got a 512gb Samsung Evo and it works perfect.

Version 1.5 is out!
https://github.com/fourminute/Fluffy/releases/tag/v1.5.1


It is highly recommended to upgrade, but be advised. I had to remove Tkinter due to stability issues, if you wish to still use the Tkinter UI do not upgrade.

@fourminute Loving the improvements on the latest update. I don't wanna bash on Goldleaf for not having a stable USB installing. It was the first time I used USB installing but I had too many disaster with it but still a chance for more improvements. Overtime, everything will have a fix and will work perfectly

I have a net install PR in the works, maybe up by tomorrow

I've been working on Net install for almost 3 days now. Got it working perfectly, then all of sudden boom it stopped working for no reason.

Tried again tonight and it was working again. It makes zero sense!

If you have a net install in the works that works every time that would be great.

See screenshot for what the UI side of things looks like.

What the difference between normal mode and safe mode?
What is read_size?

What the difference between normal mode and safe mode?
What is read_size?

Astronomically small to fit through old USB ports and 1 Megabyte for normal.

Do you have Zadig drivers installed properly? This isn't so much as an actual "Error" it's basically saying that it can't find the Switch.

I think the are, aluminumfoil connects with the switch without problems.

Great news! Network related issues were fixed, v1.6.2 has been released with functioning Network Install!

When installing multiple .nsp, it doesn't increase the queue number. It always stays at 1 out of 10. It installs everything fine just a visual bug

Games are getting corrupted on my 256gb sd card so often (no its not fake). Don't know if 256gb fat32 would really work out either. I only used tinfoil and it still corrupts. No other homebrew apps. Is a 128gb sd card recommended? Starting to believe the Switch doesn't reallly support anything higher than 128gb.

Version 1.6.4 is out:
https://github.com/fourminute/Fluffy/releases

The incorrect queue display has been fixed, I've also added displays for the name of the current NSP being installed(For both USB&Network) and also a queue display for network installs as well.
