It's the easiest method by far. Just make sure your Switch and your PC is on the same network. All you do is load Tinfoil > Network Install NSP then on Fluffy enter your Switch's IP into the field and click "Host NSPs".

You should see a list of the NSPs appear on your Switch.

i cant get it to work, got error on tinfoil failed to retrieve http header and then switch crash, tested on ams and reinx

I recommend trying different ports, turning off any active Firewall, port forwarding your Switch, etc. Network install can often be a hit or miss depending on your setup.

This just means the port was blocked by something/somewhere. I recommend trying a different port.

My switch can only detect it if I use port 2000

I will look into it later, network install can be quite buggy. There's not much I can do without changing the original Tinfoil code to make it more stable.

yes

I will release a fix later on but for now unfortunately just use port 2000. It should work correctly.

no luck with other open port too

You are missing PyUSB. Did you follow all of the instructions listed on the Github page?

Hello

Yeah, I did "pip3 install pyusb" on cmd, it downloaded and installed.

I tried uninstalling it and I get a different error (error message telling me the driver is lacking)

I will try reinstalling python, but im not sure if that will help.

is it the py driver that is missing or the zandig?

Hello, since i dont want to use USB, where should I install the driver?

also, the gui starts and then close right after, its not a disconnected switch issue, im kinda lost :/

Try plugging your switch in via usb, installing libusbk from zadig and then the app should load fine and you can use net install going forward. Seems to be an issue with one of the imports trying to find libusbk driver and failing

Try it.. Fluffy simply needs the driver installed

I´m pretty sure zadig drivers are not the issue as i have the exact same error as crow despite having all the proper drivers (aluminumfoil connects fine...). You can read my previous posts on this thread for reference.

Great news. I managed to borrow a laptop for a half-hour and managed to not only replicate this issue but also fix it fairly easily.

This issue is due to the following

1) "pip3 install libusb" is required for Fluffy to work.

2) Some USB type C cords simply do NOT work. Period. I had a couple USB-C cords and can confirm that they all looked identical except some simply didn't work and did not register the Switch as detected.

I can report that I used a computer with this exact error "USB Core No Backend Available" and fixed it following these steps.

Thanks for your efforts fourminute, pip3 installed libusb, but the same error persists. It has to be the cord, it´s strange because it´s the one that came with the pro controller

Yeah the cord thing irks me too. I couldn't figure it out. I had 2 USB-C cords from 2 phones from the same manufacture, they look exactly the same and if I didn't label them with red tape and blue tape I wouldn't have know which is which. But one for certain doesn't work at all.
