Homebrew Tinfoil + Tegra on Manjaro Linux

[5n0rlax]

Hi there,

Bit of a noob here and apologies if there is already a tutorial thread on this topic.

I use Manjaro Linux as my main PC and I'm wondering if there is a way that I can install games via USB or network from this PC, I'm also trying to find a bootloader I can use. So far my searches have yielded little in the way of how to use Linux to run a bootloader when in RCM, or how to install games. I've only been able to find tutorials on how to install Linux onto the switch itself.

Does anyone have any idea what I'd need to install to get everything working? I've been using a friends windows PC to install games, but this is tedious and I'd like to do it myself without having to run windows.

Thanks in advance!

Try nx-usbloader, it's based on java so should run on linux distros too

Scroll down to the part where it says "Mac / Linux", that way you can push the payload on linux. (boot from RCM)

For USB install of games, check the bottom of this page: https://tinfoil.io/Download#download

Thank you both! After a little tinkering, I've managed to get nut working as well as the NS USBloader on my PC
