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.

Windows only :shit:

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.

Is it possible to change the username/password? Is there some sort of config file i can edit?
If i use google filestream an try USB install my switch is crashing with an ATM fatal.
Network Install with google filestream is working fine.
Is this a known bug?

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

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.
