I have two questions:
1) In 'Console contents', I can extract installed games to an NSP files, but when selecting installed game updates there is only an option to remove, and not to extract. How can I extract update files?

2) How can i extract installed games larger than 4GB with a FAT32 SD card?

Hey guys, Goldleaf 0.6 is out after 4 long months of development! Go check it out!
https://github.com/XorTroll/Goldleaf/releases/tag/0.6

Changelog

• NSP installs:
  
  • As Goldleaf's internal filesystem handling has been completely remade, installs have been internally remade. This apparently results in slightly faster installs, at least in my case.
    
    
  • Now the user won't be asked to ignore required firmware version or not, as that can be configured on the config.
    
    
  • Sleep-mode is disabled now in order to avoid to interrupt installs.
    
    
  • Now all the NSPs inside a directory can be installed in a row (see below).
    
• USB installs:
  
  • USB installs have been improved into a new feature: remote PC browser!
    
    
  • Now you can directly browse your PC, plus any drives connected to it, as a regular filesystem, same as SD card or console memory.
    
    
  • It is also worth to mention that the new USB command system seems to be way, WAY more stable than any previous USB system in Goldleaf!
    
    
  • Anyway, always keep in mind that it might freeze or cause bugs with folders with tons of files.
    
• File systems:
  
  • Presenting the new, remade USB system: remote PC browsing!
    
    • Instead of a simple connection, it's a whole filesystem implementation over USB.
      
      
    • Browse your PC (Windows-only with Goldtree) directly from Goldleaf! Any extra drive inserted browsable by the PC will be browsable here.
      
      
    • Since USB drives' support (fsp-usb service in Atmosphere) is still being worked on, you can use this system with drives inserted in your PC in order to browse or install files from there.
      
  • Two simple, QoL features have been added to filesystems (to directories in this case): the option to install all NSPs within the directory, and the option to set the archive bit on it.
    
• UI
  
  • For now on, Goldleaf main color will continue to be golden, but the "secondary" color along with gold is going to be blue.
    
    
  • Therefore, both the icon and the main themes have been changed.
    
• Goldleaf auto-updating:
  
  • Now Goldleaf supports updating itself, since https was supported on dkP. (this means direct access to GitHub for version checking and asset downloading)
    
    
  • Nevertheless, now Goldleaf's NSP is a forwarder, what means that just by updating the NRO you will target Goldleaf from HOME menu as always.
    
    
  • You can even upgrade the installed version if you want to!
    
    
  • As you may suppose, this requires internet connection
    
• Amiibo dumping support
  
  • A new option has been added to the main menu, which adds support to dump real amiibos to be used with emuiibo.
    
    
  • Obviously, emuiibo 0.3 format is used. Please ensure you're also using the latest emuiibo version!

Finally able to browse my PC via USB, thanks!

 

[peteruk]

Thank you - great release

Do we know if this fixes that strange bug where installing a game update via usb would crash the console if a previous game update was already installed ?

 

[goncalodoom]

It's saying i need sigpatches or firmware is too low when i try to install an nsp remotely, however i have all sigpatches and i'm on 8.1.0. Been using tingfoil and ns usb loader without any issues. Does anyone know how to fix this in this new release of goldleaf?

 

[XorTroll]

For a bug in the new USB system (let's say I'm stupid for using 32 bit integers instead of 64) + ~4GB installs from USB will probably fail.

Since I'm out for several days, can't fix this now.

When I get back I will make a quick fix as 0.6.1. Sorry for any trouble this might have caused.

 

[hippotas98]

i can't use remote pc browsing. Everytime i press that, it is frozen

 

[guywhatever]

I tried it a couple of times, and each time I went to my main switch games folder, it would crash the switch when trying to install any nsp. My guess was that I had too many files in one folder, so I went and filed them all alphabetically. Seemed to work out fine. Looking forward to more progress on this wonderful project.

 

[cyrilz87]

when i used pc remote(new feature) to copy paste a file from my pc, suddenly my switch getting error while copying and my whole emummc(installed with some games) gone being wipe out! i restarted my switch but everything gone(no games) and checked my sd card from pc, my emummc folder empty inside

 

[Filippilny]

Why is the USB install option no longer present in 0.6?

Basically a bug regarding Italian language, will be fixed for 0.6.1. Sorry again, some features weren't apparently tested...

 

[jmrodrigues]

Removing the USB install feature, i'm unable to use it on MAC, same as latest tinfoil, doesn't detect my usb connection... Anyone able to use it on macosx and NS-USBloader?

 

[RedHunter]

Yeah I've Italian language too, damn I should have come here sooner, was going crazy because of that error too
Waiting for the fix thanks.

 

[ColorBoyKent]

Why every time I click USB install it freezes or try and view pc folders it freezes when I click certain folders it’s confusing me cause I never use to do it it’s like a hit or miss

 

[Deleted User]

why would you remove the usb install feature? this is completely useless on MACS now

had to go back to 0.5

 

[Yeabuddy]

Does anyone know why my Zadig installation keeps failing? I tried different USB cables and ports but it fails. My Zadig also shows NONE on the left:
