Homebrew Question Best USB installer?

[eskinner3742]

I imagine if you switch your Android phone into a Mass Storage Device mode, you can mount its storage as a USB drive in SXOS.

Maybe, I'm using kosmos tho. I never thought of trying honestly so I may play around. I imagine that there would have to be a port of goldtree or fluffy to Android get gold leaf or tinfoil on the switch to realize whats going on for usb install.

I also have a build of sxos rommenu t may read it as a USB and let me pick a nsp on my phone. This is all speculation, but now my curiosity is going, when I get the time I'll have to play around.

Try this build https://github.com/satelliteseeker/Tinfoil/releases/tag/v0.2.1-USB-fix2

also make sure once you hit b to close connection in TF after install then just go back usb install I find I don't get errors with that.

I tried that build and it just hangs when I try to transfer anything with Fluffy. The previous one works great apart from the mentioned crashes if I try to install more than once. Queuing works great anyway, so I'll stick with https://github.com/satelliteseeker/Tinfoil/releases/tag/v0.2.1-USB-fix

NS-USBloader, i jst used that and can tf to ns with 30mb/s

Using NS-USBloader with USB fix 1, smooth installation more than 30mb/s (anker usb C to A )

Only problem i have is that my windows refuse to see "Nintendo Switch" in Zadig 2.4, i just go by the name that is unknown in device manager

I often download using my phone and data plan since my home internet is non-existant. But you say I can install straight from my phone to my switch? I'm intrigued. Got a link?

Maybe try usb_install_pc.py from termux?

Just mount as USB Mass Storage.

So is it possible to mount the SD Card in Windows via USB? I know it can be done via TegraRcmGUI, but can this be done from inside Atmosphere? I just hate having to Shutdown my Switch to put my microSD into my computer every time I want to add a couple of files. I don't mind doing it when I've a LOT of files to transfer, because then at least I can get USB 3.0 speeds using my adapter, but for smaller things it would be nice to just mount the SD Card directly in Windows thru the USB Cable.

You can just ftp the files over from your computer, no need to remove the sd card

Yeah, I should have mentioned that I'd already seen that release. It appears the developer is MIA so I just wanted to see if there was anything else available.

I keep my device in Airplane mode though and don't use the WiFi. So that's why I'd like to find a USB solution.

It hasn't been updated but it's still working perfectly whenever I need it.

e: atmosphere will have usb file transfer as part of its debugging features at some point relatively soon.

Ok cool I'll give it a try then.
