Hacking XorTroll working on USB HDD Feature

[Intronaut]

Ok, in that case, here is the build.

I am not responsible if something goes wrong.

Remember that you have to use Atmosphere 0.13, Goldleaf 0.9-dev (https://github.com/XorTroll/Goldleaf/actions/runs/81016275) and your USB drive should be formatted in FAT32 or EXFAT

Ah, I had to be signed in, thanks

Update: Xortroll's latest commit made my changes in the file fspusb_utils.hpp unnecessary. So, I compiled the ams_mitm.kip again with Xortroll's new code and without my changes. You can find it in the post above.

@Intronaut, @XorTroll
Works like a charm, thank you very much guys!..

Finally, we can use our precious 4 TB USB HDD with games on AMS on-the-go.

Is it possible to install nsp on hdd ?

Yes, I successfully tested the installation process to my Switch in the dock mode and via USB-C OTG adapter, too; all is good.

BTW, it's possible to install .nsp files FROM USB drives to the Switch, not INTO the USB drive.

All the credits to Xortroll. I just compiled the code.

BTW, remember that generally HDDs require a lot of power. I have read in this forum that is better to use them with an Y cable or with an external source of power. Otherwise, your ports could be damaged. Anyway, I'm not an expert, so don't quote on me. Maybe someone could verify that information.

So for now, HDD cant replace microsd card for now

i´ve tryd to test this, but my switch crashed after i try open the galerie. (0100...100D) i´m on 13.0 and put the ams_mitm.kip in atmosphere/kips. Anything wrong?^^

It doesn't seem an error related to fsp-usb.

Have you tried a fresh update of AMS?
Is your SD formatted in EXFAT(exfat has corruption issues)

Anyway, what's your current firmware?

yes it´s aother problem...before i put the kip in /kips album works...after the reboot this error pops up. Also delete the kip does nothing...same error (i only insert the goldleaf.nro and the kip to the sd). Fresh update also brings the same error again^^

i use ams 13.0master on 10.0.4 and a fat32 formated sd card

Edit: Works perfect now! The crash was because sys-ftpd-light

Anyone found any particular issues? Right now we're mainly looking for issues and bugs to fix

 

[deejay87]

I'm going to test différents hard drive and stick usb , for now with stick usb is ok

Currently I have installed all my nsps with fsp-usb. It's more comfortable for me and I have not find any critical bug.

However, I have noticed that goldleaf 0.9-dev does not recognize split nsp files when you are seeing them in a usb drive (you can see and install them in sd though)

This is an expected behaviour. Support for ConcatenationFile hasn't been implemented.

Ah ok. Anyway, it's not the big deal, because it's not difficult to join the files again in a computer. Thank you

 

[ploggy]

Interesting, I guess Retroarch could be updated to implement support for this? It would save my poor SD card slot

Is it planned, or is it not going to be a thing? Just curious, I don't think I have any split NSPs.
