Goldleaf - A Nintendo Switch multipurpose homebrew tool

If it just exits back to the main menu when you try and install an nsp doesn't that mean my firmware is too low for the game?

OK, tried goldleaf usb installing. First nsp worked. Second one always fails, tinfoil reports bad metadata. Third one worked but when I try to install the update so I dont get the nag it got corrupted. Am I just downloading bad nsp files or is it normal to be unreliable.

If you're using USB install then why even use exFat?

You misunderstood me... SD installs work and USB don't.

Great app so far, however one perticular NSP keeps failing over USB install. It might be because the file is 7GB, but I'm not sure. It get's stuck after "Step 5 of 8", and the progress bar stops, as well as the "average speed".
I tried using an NSP splitter but it doesn't seem like Goldleaf has support for that, neither via USB nor the internal SD browser.

What do I do? I've tried the same NSP maybe 5 times and it keeps happening.

EDIT: Ok, so the split NSP installs nicely. But the USB doesn't work still. I forgot to click the "Ready for archiving" thingy in Windows after the split. Sorry! I'm still learning!

He did not missunderstand you, USB installations if most beneficial for people with FAT32 and they cannot fit large NSP's on to their MicroSD cards due to filesize limitation.
What he meant was that since you use ExFAT you don't really need to bother with the USB install anyway since you can fit large files on the memorycard.

Also, you should probably quit using ExFAT if you wanna be on the safe side of things.

USB is useful because let's say I have a 32GB game to install... If I do it with SD install, I need 64GB free on SD card to install it, because I need 32GB for the nsp and 32GB for the installed game. After that I can delete the 32GB of the install nsp and free them, but until it's installed, I need 64GB free instead of only 32GB if I use the USB methd... Unless I am completely wrong and even with USB installs you need 64GB of free space...
My assumption is that with USB installs, the PC is used as a "remote SD card" and therefore you can install games directly from the pc and therefore you don't need doubling the space on the sd card. Correct me if I am wrong

You're correct, you don't need double the space when you use USB install. I would try to get it sorted out so that you can stop using exFat. Who knows maybe exFat is causing your USB install issues.

Since Goldleaf's USB installs are still pretty buggy I'd try out Fluffy/old Tinfoil.

I don't need a GUI so I just use the old python script along with old Tinfoil and I have absolutely no issues installing via USB.

EDIT:

Nvm got it to work with Goldleaf 0.3 and Goldtree 0.3.

RedScorpion · Mar 8, 2019

using goldleaf nightly 0.5
copied some nsp files to my sd card to install from sd.
why does some of my nsp cant be seen in goldleaf while others just fine?
i tried to shorten the name of the nsp but still the same.
advice?

tekken999 · Mar 8, 2019

does goldleaf have issues with uploading nsps that are a large size file? cause I can't get hyrule warriors without it dropping to 0 mb/s in the middle of the transfer

When is v 0.5 coming?

FanboyKilla · Mar 10, 2019

Is it just me or is there no way to change the File/Folder sorting order in Goldleaf? For example, the first 10 folders that show up on my SD card are...

config
goldleaf
Nintendo
retroarch
switch
atmosphere
bootloader
EdiZon
ftpd
modules

From what I can tell they're being sorted by "creation date" and not by "name". I can't seem to find anything documented about any setting or way to change this. Has this not been implemented yet?

Rahkeesh · Mar 10, 2019

I'm getting the same behavior on the latest 0.5 nightly, atmos .85, fw 7.0.1, and a prod.keys generated by lockpick_rcm. Every USB install with Goldtree 0.4 fails with "firmware too low/missing sigpatches", yet the same files succeed when installed from FAT32 SD.

You should go to the github and file a issue, It is probably something wrong with the goldtree build.

It's probably using the internal FAT32 creation order.
you could use tools to sort the FAT32, but you need to do it every time you add a new file.

I know FATSort, but it's for Linux.
there are tools for windows, but never tested them so I wouldn't want to recommend unknown/untested tools.
edit: here what I found anyway: Drive sort (french, and maybe not a portable app), Fat Sorter, yafs

I think we had a tool for 3DS. I'll post it here if I find it.
edit: https://www.maxconsole.com/threads/gateway-3ds-rom-sorter-beta.31452/
I don't know if it lists only .3ds files, or all files.

or you can wait for alphabetical sorting order added to goldleaf.

try goldleaf 0.3 or wait for 0.5 when launch

do you have es_patches in atmosphere\exefs_patches\
do you have fs_patches in atmosphere\kip_patches\

make sure sigpatches are inside directories listed above

Rahkeesh · Mar 10, 2019

I don't have any fs_patches folder in kip_patches, just default_nogc. They aren't part of the latest kosmos or additional sigpatches zip. As mentioned I can install games from SD with goldleaf 0.5 and run them just fine, just no USB install. NXMTP USB transfers are also working fine.
