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.

No DZ won't, Tinfoil and SX Installer will though.

Its called "File Browser", "locations" was the old name, I need to fix the reference.

thanks for the straight answer

i think there is a bug with installing games to the sdcard when you have emunand on

what is the potential bug?

 

[jakkal]

what is the potential bug?

i got a bunch of errors when i select to install on sdcard while running emunand
when I go back into sysnand, all my games were deleted, but the saves were intact

If you use emunand, with the same SD card, the user profile is exactly the same, so you created the application record in the emunand system, then when you booted into sysnand, it didnt have the application record, but saw all of those NCA's that appeared to be orphaned / wasting space, so sysnand deleted them.

nah bro
with emunand the folder is called EMUTENDO and not NINTENDO

Hmmm, that is odd then. I am not sure.

 

[Captain_N]

not smb shares im guessing?

 

[naddel81]

I have every single game organized in its own folder (including updates and DLC). will this be recognized? I find it way to unorganized if everything is in \root.

 

[crow132]

the nro wont launch in reinx for some reason?

@oblid
good to know i am not alone.

Can anyone else test this and confirm if they have this 1 minute idle bug that freezes Tinfoil/SX Installer with the looping prompt .

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

@Reecey
That's actually very slow, my minimum install speed starts at 28Mb/s and speeds starts climbing up towards 31-32Mb/s, probably goes higher than those speeds if the game size were bigger (USB Tested). some other users reported higher speeds. Maybe your card has low read and write speeds (could be wrong), but that speed you get is even slower than the old tinfoil which couldn't go higher than 13.5Mb/s for me.

This is Wi-fi 5ghz, bro! Your never going to achieve anything above about 8 - 9MB/s transfer with the switch Wi-fi card it’s not capable of it I would say to hit 9MB/s tops is very good considering! USB connection agreed it would transfer a lot higher rate.

Google Drive access:- “Fartgate” funny! won’t be happy when you implement that in sx installer I mean there charging a lot of money GBP or US dollars to access there Nintendo “CDN” yeah right more like a cloud drive!

You need to show it all first under file browser go back out the app and go back in again then it should all show up in the correct columns as long as you have it setup on your pc drive in correct folders dlc, updates etc.. remember if you already have the title id installed it won’t show up in the installer unless you delete it then it will.

Edit: also @blawar your title id folders could do with updating, many newer titles are now missing blanked out in the installer.

 

[naddel81]

so it can handle subfolders?

 

[blawar]

Not yet.

Yes, it will scan sub directories, so you should be good to go.

This is a bug with reinx spoofing TX services incorrectly to try to trick TX applications to boot. You will have to use an older version of ReiNX, or use Atmosphere or SX OS.

That is their problem not mine I will update the metadata soon.

Yes.

install NSP's

I was wondering if its possible to look into making tinfoil to install big files on fat32 cause goldleaf somehow doing it. Example smash ultimate is 15gb and therefore tinfiol reads it as 250kb and gives nca error when trying to install it , while goldleaf alllows me to install it ^^ will be great if you can look into it?!

are you installing from the SD card? If so, its probably a split NSP. It may work with tinfoil if you put the bits in a directory and set the sticky bit, not sure.

That is exactly the answer I wanted to here my friend

Im talking about usb/nut install , none split nsp original size , should i split it and install ?

@blawar Did u had some thime to check the switch crash with google filestream?
