Homebrew Question Best USB installer?

[naddel81]

There are at least 5 different USB installers. Which is the most reliant?
Gold leaf? Tinfoil? Limelight? Nut?

Best wishes.

Goldleaf 0.3 does the trick for me.

Goldleaf 0.3 does the trick for me.

It always gave me errors on nsp files that installed fine from SD card.

Isn't it tinfoil basically with a different GUI?

Emphasis on Goldleaf 0.3 - It does not work as good on 0.4

I'm just trying atmosphere after using sxos for the last few months. Is there anything that will install from USB flash drive? That's how I've been installing since it became available in SXOS, it's so convenient.

Installing over USB via PC is clunky and seems unreliable

OG Tinfoil for usb install with aluminumfoil, fluffy, NS-USBloader give average speed 40mb/s
Goldleaf for installing title from sd

 

[naddel81]

but except for SX OS there is still no install from USB (without PC) solution, yet?

Old good TinFoil for everything

Does AluminumFoil https://github.com/nosmokingbandit/AluminumFoil even have it's own thread here ?

I can only seem to find one on Reddit

So what we've learned is that you can't install from a USB drive without SXOS.

So? You cannot directly download a .NSP file to a thumb drive; it would have to be downloaded onto your computer. And then you would waste more time moving it to a thumb drive rather than just directly installing it from your computer. And if your counteragument is installing them when you are away from the computer, why would you need to install things on the go? I doubt you would have the means to download it anywhere then put it onto your flash drive.

My phone has a USB-C Port. My Switch has a USB-C Port. I can download NSP on my phone directly, and then install directly on my switch. You're reaching really badly here, trying to discredit genuine use cases.

Big difference between genuine use case and the silly scenario you just proposed. Forget the chances of a .NSP that drops when you're at work or driving, in the amount of time it would take to download then put on your drive then install it, I can have someone at home download it or better yet wait until I get home myself because it would take either the same or less amount of time than the way you're describing it.

Or maybe you don't even use a computer, hunny.

I fail to see the issue of my downloading it on a computer when it can download the .NSP file much faster than a phone. There's also very few situations where you wouldn't have access to a computer but have enough space to use your phone, a USB cable, and Switch.
