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,

Just means you don't have the dependencies installed.

just redid the installation, but fluffy won't open anymore.

The Github ReadMe has a lot about this, more than I can say in a single post there's some good information there.

thanks. It was detected. But unfortunately the install hangs and shows 0MB transfer rate. I guess I will keep installing from SD card

Sounds like you have the wrong USB type C cord.

how to check if you buy a "right" one? which ones work perfectly? will there ever be a "install from switch" mode where we plugin our storage device directly into the switch and install from there?

@naddlel81 do you own a pro controller? If you do use the charging usb cable from it and connect your switch start goldleaf\tinfoil then sleect usb install and then start fluffy select your files click begin transfer on Tinfoil on the switch select your NSPs to match the ones you selected in fluffy pres A

The official Nintendo one works for me.

Just 2xp points to lvl 2 darn it!!!!

Yesterday I installed 5 nsps to 2 Switches at once using network mode, it's actually really fast and I don't miss USB at all so I recommend it. One thing I found out though is your install speed will always be limited to microSD quality.

network install tells "an error occured" failed to retrieve HTTP header"

Are you using the latest version 2.6.0?

 

[naddel81]

Are you using the latest version 2.6.0?

yes!

 

[fourminute]

yes!

That just means it can't communicate with the Switch, it could be a Firewall thing. It honestly depends on your setup.

even disabling windows firewall did not change it
communication is working since I can see the request on the switch and have to push a button to choose location (SD or internal memory), but then it does not install due to the error.

Switch on the same wifi network? Also you host file or filtering?

The thing is, the file list is sent by different means through port 2000. Whereas the server itself has a random port. Some routers might block that random port. Network install will always be a hit or miss for some people unfortunately but when it works, it works. I am actually still working on improving network mode but it may take some time.

2.6.0 is really sweet. No need to kill Fluffy even when Tinfoil crashes.

someone can make a tutorial step by step for mac users please,no luck with the 1st page

Had to change it to .txt from .log, but I am having trouble doing this, I'm unsure how to navigate python
