Front-page Homebrew RELEASE  Updated

NUT GUI USB and Network installer for Tinfoil and SX Installer

Easiest way is to just download nut.exe to the directory where your NSP's are, and start it. Will install NSP's from your PC to the switch via USB or network connection. The games will show up on the switch (in the "new games" section) to install, the PC client is just a dumb server. Default username and password is guest/guest for network install.



# USB Install

Run server.py or Windows users can use the precompiled nut.exe in the release section.

Follow the directions found in the release page to install the USB driver.

After you run the server, ensure NSP's are visible in the list. If they are not, change the path and click the "scan" button.

Connect your USB cable from your switch to your PC.

Start Tinfoil or SX Installer, and all of the NSP's listed in nut server should now be available to install in Tinfoil or SX Installer.


# Network Install

Run server.py or Windows users can use the precompiled nut.exe in the release section.

After you run the server, ensure NSP's are visible in the list. If they are not, change the path and click the "scan" button.

Start Tinfoil or SX Installer, then go to locations, then select "Add New" location. Enter the ip, port, username, and password that is displayed in the nut server application, then press save.

All of the NSP's listed in nut server should now be available to install in Tinfoil or SX Installer.

Why it ask for keys.txt? Should I put my keys on the NSPs folder?
How can I get that version of Tinfoil? Mine looks awful old.

Yeah, your keys.txt should be placed in the same folder nut.exe/server.py but I'm not sure why.

blawar could you make this program recognize nsp files without title id and the version in the name? That would make this my main installer.

Will this connect to google drive? all my personal nsp are in GDrive. If it does how would you set that up. If I’m wrong please don’t have a go I’m not the upmost expert on this sort of thing.

The compiled version is windows only. You can download the source and run server.py for a pure python implementation that is cross platform.

keys.txt is not needed for usb or network installation. That is only needed for more advanced stuff that 99% of people will not use. All you need is the exe to install over usb or network.

Use google file stream as @nabel0 said. Google file stream mounts your google drive to a drive letter, than nut can then read to install from.

Copy this file to conf/users.conf and then edit it:

https://github.com/blawar/nut/blob/master/conf/users.conf

I was not aware of usb crashing with google file stream, i'll look into it.

Can you try it without using google file stream? What is your CFW and OS?

Try plugging in the USB cable before you start Tinfoil / SX Installer.

Oh yeah cool.
Why is the gui saying at the bottom that it's downloading stuff, when I set the .conf not to download anything?

BTW you really need to make your installer .nro read/write config, keys files etc from the directory it's in, rather than hardcode /switch/tinfoil.

    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
