Fluffy - A Tinfoil and Goldleaf GUI

Fluffy
fluffy-intro.png




So what's different about Fluffy?

Fluffy is the first to introduce:
  • Goldleaf and Tinfoil Support.
  • USB and Network install with transfer rate and progress bar.
  • Display current install rate in MB/ for both USB and Network mode(Goldleaf & Tinfoil too)
  • Display current NCA name and count.
  • Transfer mode option switchable between "Normal" and "Safe".
  • Individual NSP selection (suggested by: ShadowHand, thanks!)
  • Show current NSP being installed
  • Switch connected indicator
  • USB 5.x Fix (Compatible with Firmware versions 5.x and below)

How-To-Use
  • Download and Install Python 3 from https://www.python.org/downloads/. Ensure no previous version of Python is installed. This may cause an error "PyUSB not found". Do not use the 64-bit version of Python 3 with Fluffy.
  • Open Terminal/CMD
  • Run "pip3 install pyusb" and "pip3 install pyqt5" and "pip3 install libusb" and "pip3 install libusb1"
  • MacOS users must also run "brew install libusb". For more info on brew, head to https://brew.sh/.

Going forward,
I plan to support Fluffy for the foreseeable future.

I hope this tool can help anyone and everyone that uses it,

Was waiting Travis Strikes Again to release to test this
It worked like a charm, just had some trouble between Python32bit and 64bit, I have just uninstalled the 64bits one and now it works like a charm. Looks awesome, good job !

你好,你可以用中文.但是如果有问题可以告诉我.

[Thank you. It is estimated that tinfoil.nro does not support Chinese characters. It is not acceptable to change the NRO you recommend.
If the file name or folder name is in Chinese, the system will crash when it starts. The same file can be installed by replacing it with an English name.
There is no problem displaying Chinese on a PC-side Python program.]

谢谢。估计 tinfoil.nro 不支持中文字符。换了你推荐的NRO也是不行。
如果文件名或者文件夹名字带中文,一点开始系统就崩溃了。同样的文件换成英文名称就可以安装。
PC端Python程序上显示中文是没有问题的。

[Thank you, I will try my best to solve it.]

谢谢您, 我会尽力解决它.

Please, if you post in chinese provide a translation - this is an english speaking website. In the future I will delete your posts. Everyone needs to be able to follow along.

so i got to test it with ARMS.
Stops 7mb short at 99%.
displays 100 in fluffy though.
leaving with home i find an endlessly loading tile that supposedly occupies 0.1mb according to data management (but it frees about 2gb when deleted from there).


here the log.

also, requesting the donut to be shrunken or scaling automatically for low resolution systems.

Thank you for that log. I've created a custom version of Fluffy to fix this issue. But I need your feedback on whether it works or not.

Ok, it worked with that link.

After two more attempts with the normal fluffy, it actually did go through to the end once actually.

also, this custom version seems to install extremely slow. its at 0.7mb/s. was that intended?

Yes that is intended, unfortunately it seems your USB port doesn't allow high-transfer rates that's why it was throwing that error.

i mean, its no usb3, the system is about 10 years old now, but it usually does 20-30mb/s depending on whats connected.
it does visibly fluctuate if i do anything else during transfer. even this slow version drops to about half the speed while writing this. could that be part of the issue? I've got a rather weak dual core cpu in this. maybe it needs to concentrate fully on installing/transfering at all times?

i added some more to that previous post, no idea if its related to the issue on my end.

i wasn't going to install 2 gbs at that speed, but for what its worth, caveblazers installed fine with the slow speed.

I will release a new version in a little while that will allow you to set the speed yourself. This should help you find the sweet spot in terms of speed and compatibility.

I must say, thank you for bringing this to my attention.

will it ever be possible for the switch to download files directly via https link?

Of course. But how would you propose that happen? A custom server?

If the downloads aren't local I'm not sure if I can support that feature, it's edging on copyright laws.

When installing multiple .nsp, it doesn't increase the queue number. It always stays at 1 out of 10. It installs everything fine just a visual bug

Games are getting corrupted on my 256gb sd card so often (no its not fake). Don't know if 256gb fat32 would really work out either. I only used tinfoil and it still corrupts. No other homebrew apps. Is a 128gb sd card recommended? Starting to believe the Switch doesn't reallly support anything higher than 128gb.
