Homebrew Question alternatives to NXMTP and MTP server?

[simsimsim]

I've always used NXMTP with no issues until I updated to SX OS 3.1.0 today. NXMPT and MTP server would both crash the switch, and SX OS's own FTP isn't working either with my PC not detecting it.
Are there other alternatives to those two for USB file transfer?
Thank you!

you can use hekate much better then any of these

Use DBI for any mtp stuff. Copying or installing files via drag and drop.

thank you, I looked it up and it's meant for game installation? But it supports moving over files (like save files) from and to PC also?

he did say mtp moving files drag and drop yes its a installer + MTP fucntion so yes you can move files but if other
mtp apps dont work on SXOS 3.1.0 this probably wont work too you have to check if it works
Hekate dosnt need CFW to work and it just works - yes for moving files to your sd card "drag and drop"

Indeed nxmtp should work in sx os 3.1.0. It's working on mine. You may check if your PC has the USB drivers installed.

DBI is superior because it supports automatic splitting >4GB files for FAT32.

Plus thanks to showing log in real time i see if there is an issue with something. nxmtp doesn't provide any logs...

How does hekate work without CFW? I thought hekate was a thing to boot into CFW?

But NXMTP has never been updated, I checked it yesterday thinking there might be a new version but it's still the one I downloaded last year. I was able to use it this morning before updating firmware without issue, never knew about any driver.
Can you tell me which usb driver are you referring to?

It does boot CFW, but it has a bunch of other functions, check the Tools menu.

Is this DBI? https://github.com/rashevskyv/dbi/releases

tried to download the dbibackend.exe, Chrome and Windows Security went ballistic and destroyed the file lol

 

[mathew77]

Is this DBI

Yep, but you can use it without the dbibackend, just in a MTP mode.

Run the .nro, connect USB cable and press X button.

gotcha. I wonder why it isn't working with USB 3.0... I do have the Atmosphere settings.ini file edited...

Because you need either not yet released atmo build or kefir CFW

 

[MultiKoopa]

Oh. Apparently Firmware 9.0.0 broke USB 3 D:

how would I get this not released atmo build lmao

What is kefir, exactly?

Kefir is russian CFW using modified Atmosphere.

tried to download it. windows security went ballistic again lmao

what if I JUST want USB 3, do I have any options but to wait for official Atmosphere to add it back in themselves?

Yup, probly you don't have experience to compile current Atmosphere repo which is in wasted state because of tma2 reimplementation going on.

 

[MultiKoopa]

gotcha. I'm hoping it won't be too long then. USB 2 speeds are painful on this dying ancient computer of mine

Issue is with MTP overhead, not USB. Without much overhead you can get above 40 MB/s on HOS on USB2, but because of MTP overhead you're getting around 20 MB/s max. Dunno if USB3 will change anything in this regard.

 

[MultiKoopa]

Is there a way besides MTP to connect to the switch's storage?

If not... what can USB 3 even be used for on the Switch? Ethernet adapter, and...?
