will it be compatible with atmosphere usb 3.0 option enabled?

 

[LyuboA]

Would be great if theres no size limit

 

[h33t]

Got this ?

 

[m4xw]

Got this ?

That's normal, we will blacklist these paths in the future.
The system simply denies any read/write access to the files.

Change this https://github.com/retronx-team/mtp-server-nx/blob/master/source/main.cpp#L114
Keep in mind the implemented protocol supports only up to 4GB as it is right now.

Oh thank god. This is going to make my life so much easier.

Copy pasta files via USB

That's sweet.

I honesty should get to hack my Nintendo Switch and my Sony Vita already.

 

[LightBeam]

Bruh that's so cool !!!

This is pretty awesome, any chance we can get a user editable blacklist path so I blacklist the retroarch directory? I think there are 10K+ files in there.

 

[DontShootUp]

Great work! this will be my go-to when it supports the max file size for MTP.

 

[KuranKu]

was looking forward to this a lot of time, this is huge m4x , thanks for this

 

[enderer]

is this only for HOS? or will it work for linux/android, too?

 

[The Real Jdbye]

This would be awesome if it ran in the background as a kip1 (or maybe by patching the home menu exefs if that's easier?) so just plugging in the USB while in HOS would make the SD card instantly accessible.
I wonder how hard that would be to do. It would have to not conflict when homebrew wants to use the USB port for other things like Tinfoil/Goldleaf with USB installs but that could maybe be done by exposing the MTP as a separate device while leaving the raw USB device (the one you use with libusb) there to be used by other apps, if that's possible.

As is, it's still useful, but having that feature would make it super convenient.

No kip, but a background service is easy to do.
Should whip out the bugs first tho.

When I saw the name of the app I thought it was a background service. Still cool either way, gonna try it out later.

I see. I'm not that familiar with how background services are done, i thought they were usually done with a kip1. But any way that works is fine

Yeah, probably a good idea to prioritize fixing bugs before adding more features otherwise you can end up with even more bugs, and when there is more going on it makes fixing bugs harder. But this already looks better than nxmtp.

If you have trouble making it work from the PC-side, disable USB 3.0 superseed in /atmosphere/system_settings.ini. I was getting “USB device not recognized” with it turned on.

 

[lordelan]

So basically this is like https://gbatemp.net/threads/nxmtp-access-your-sd-card-over-usb-without-rebooting.528783/
just more polished and maintained? Fine with that.

using a USB >=3 port on your PC?

 

[leon315]

this HB just showed a black screen to me, is it same for you guys?

EDit:

thx to the developer. Open source option will always be apreciatted.
Is this protocole something GoldLeaf or Tinfoil could use to install .nsp thought USB-mtp?

Yes and no. But the process would be something that I persoanlly do not like "selecting file on PC, dragging it to switch MTP". How would the UI look like that that? no UI? just install default options? block the MTP file upload operation and present the user with an options dialog? what about more than 1 file? so many questions and complexities.
