Homebrew RELEASE Lithium: Lightweight Easy to Use Title Installer for 7.X

[blawar]

How do I use the google drive with latest update?

Get the public link, put it into tinfoil via File Browser. It might be easier to just edit locations.conf with a text editor and then upload it. It's important to note that the link must be a public link, and the dir must list the NSP / XCI's (it will not scan recursively).

uhm... I thought for a moment that the feature allowed to downlod games from a folder of your own account (like listing games from your computer folder) Thx anyway!

@blawar Just wanted to say THANK YOU for this. After all other disaster 7.0.x installers over USB, I moved to Lithium + Nut and it was a BREEZE. Worked right away, first try, no issues.

There are so many nsp installers and forks of them now that I have no idea what to use.
Does this have a GUI? Tinfoil doesn't.

Tinfoil is a cut down version of Blawar's Tinfoil.. what do you mean it doesn't have a gui? of course it has a gui..

Nope, Tinfoil is all text based.

so by definition that is a gui.

so what you really mean is does it have icons / touchscreen support to drive the program. goldleaf is the only installer I'm aware of that is made like that.

text interfaces allow listing more titles on screen - though there is an icon mode, you may be able to select / install titles from that - I honestly haven't tried and don't have my switch here tonight to test it.

download tinfoil or lithium (lithium has even less graphical bells and whistles than blawar's tinfoil though) v1.55 and test it.. wouldn't take long to do so.

GUI = Graphical User Interface.
It is an UI, it is not a GUI. It's more akin to a curses-based terminal UI.

Also, SX Installer has a GUI. It's just a clone of Tinfoil but the GUI is really nice in it. So I guess I'll stick to that.

since tinfoil also displays the game icon, there are some graphics for you. as I said.. you may be able to select the icons to install them.. I haven't tested. usually I just queue up a heap of titles to install and let it do it's thing. Its more about practicality and usability rather than how it looks.

A good GUI makes a huge difference in practicality and usability.

whether gui or text.. the UI design makes the biggest difference in practicality and usability.

as said.. it's a small download, give it a try.

The GUI is based on horizon itself. It's minimal and sleek.

Real tinfoil is literally just a black background with white text though

Look at their posts. They are not talking about "real" tinfoil.

I think he might mean SX Installer? Otherwise I have no idea what he's talking about.

Oh wow you're not trolling .There are two tinfoil. Look it up.

 

[gizmomelb]

which we are not discussing in a LITHIUM thread and also why I repeatedly cited it as Blawar's tinfoil - so there would be no stupid mix up of the original, unsupported, text only tinfoil.

if you're too lazy to install and test the app - then you can see what the app looks like here - youtu.be/7SeEmglEi-0?t=314

There are like 20 different title installers, and like 30 forks of Tinfoil according to GitHub. How in the hell am I supposed to know what you're talking about?

It's literally the first thing you see in this thread. Go back to page one.

so, you didn't even bother going to the TINFOIL. IO website to look at the lithium download? where you know, you'd also see the latest v1.55 tinfoil for download? as well as screen shots of the app?
