NXLink GUI Is being rebuilt! I will be posting a new thread with details and updates alongwith binaries and such and allowing this one to either be abandoned, or I'll remove it.






What is NXLink GUI?
Firstly NXLink is used mainly when developing homebrew, it allows you to use the NetLoad function in the HB Menu.
What this does is create an easy GUI to use NXLink with it, also allows quicker workflow as you can simply save and select paths to your NROs.


Update:
Just released the updated version with finished console output, including errors and standard outputs.
I will be adding color coding to these outputs soon.
(the link is in the reply's below, since I cannot post links yet.)

Disclaimer: I do not own NXLink nor did I create it, I'm not liable for any damage you do to your pc or switch.

Hi,
I use NXlink a lot. I need logs and it would be useful to have them dumped to a file or have an option to show them.

Hello, I'll get working on logs right now, never really thought of this, thanks for the suggestion, I hope you're enjoying NXLinkGUI so far though.

How exactly did you want logs? like actual console output or just a log file that saves events?

Console output

I've just released an updated version with some output, its as much as NXLink can output as far as I am aware, my colleague also agree's with this.
If you'd like the console to be saved to a text document in the root folder, let me know.. I could also add a little configuration menu to configure where you want it to be saved, also if you'd like the program to remember if you had the console open or not
 
That Build seams broken.
The only output I get is:

"Sending ppsspp_libretro_libnx.nro, 22689190 bytes9421002 sent (41.52%), 825 blocks"

You get all the output with -s on nxlink.

txt output would be appreciated.

hhmm, let me fix this, sorry about that
 
I've updated the release that implements more output to the console, I hope this helps you while using this tool.
If you have any more problems please let me know.
(I might add color coding to the outputs if you'd like.)
 
Can also use nxlink from the command line.

https://switch.homebrew.guide/homebrew_dev/app_dev.html

Nxlink is a command line tool that comes with devkitpro:

Usage: nxlink [options] nrofile

--help, -h Display this information
--address, -a Hostname or IPv4 address of Switch
--retries, -r number of times to ping before giving up
--path , -p set upload path for file
--args args to send to nro
--server , -s start server after completed upload

I have created an Android NXLink app to send .nro files to Homebrew automatically.

Just open the app, select the .nro files, write the IP address shown on Netloader and click send to Nintendo.

Im going to create a GitHub repository to upload the file the .APK there
