Fluffy

So what's different about Fluffy?
Fluffy is the first to introduce:

• Goldleaf and Tinfoil Support.
• USB and Network install with transfer rate and progress bar.
• Display current install rate in MB/ for both USB and Network mode(Goldleaf & Tinfoil too)
• Display current NCA name and count.
• Transfer mode option switchable between "Normal" and "Safe".
• Individual NSP selection (suggested by: ShadowHand, thanks!)
• Show current NSP being installed
• Switch connected indicator
• USB 5.x Fix (Compatible with Firmware versions 5.x and below)

How-To-Use

• Download and Install Python 3 from https://www.python.org/downloads/. Ensure no previous version of Python is installed. This may cause an error "PyUSB not found". Do not use the 64-bit version of Python 3 with Fluffy.
• Open Terminal/CMD
• Run "pip3 install pyusb" and "pip3 install pyqt5" and "pip3 install libusb" and "pip3 install libusb1"
• MacOS users must also run "brew install libusb". For more info on brew, head to https://brew.sh/.

Going forward,
I plan to support Fluffy for the foreseeable future.

I hope this tool can help anyone and everyone that uses it,

Question, it seems that long filenames can crash tinfoil with fluffy, atleast thats my experience. Anyone knows how long filenames can be?

Great tool. Very user friendly imo.

I found the problem that causes most of these. It seems if I restart tinfoil after every install most files will install fine. So not really filename related.

is this supposed to also have a Fluffy.exe file along with the pyw?
can't seem to figure out how to use this..

No. You have to run it with python.

If you installed everything correctly you just need to double click the fluffy.py file and it will open.

Try installing LibUSB: https://sourceforge.net/projects/li...ibusb-win32-devel-filter-1.2.6.0.exe/download

and/or pip3 install libusb1

Also did you install Python3 with PATH option selected? If not, install it again.

Report back if methods are successful.

Might want to add this to the front page
Faced similar issue with ScottNBNP where Fluffy wouldn't launch - no backend available issue in log

After installing this, it works normally

Using goldleaf 0.5 and Fluffy 2.7.1 using usb install i get this error when trying to install nsp. Does anyone know how to solve this? Thanks

How? please

Edited: i also got it, check "add do path" before to install. Now my switch is not charging anymore after drivers installed...so, it not open

edit2: Opening and charging switch fine, just rebooted windows... Now i'm on tinfoil(of the link provided) usb transfer mode, message "waiting for usb to be ready..." BUT: switch not recognized;

I decided to update my firmware from 6.2 to 8.0.1 today because why not? I copied a bunch of nsp's over to install with tinfoil (and ignore firmware req if that matters at all). I got an error message I didn't get on 6.2 and a quick google led me to this. "and Tinfoil would just give me error code 0x00299002 for any NSP that I tried to install." "Nintendo changed the way things work in 7.0, when installing NSP's you can no longer mount the NCA files inside the nsp from a SD Card, this is unaffected from USB, doesn't matter the formatting it's an in general thing.
The dev's of the installers know how to get around it and will release updates soon."

What's the status on this? An updated tinfoil? Do you just use SX OS installer (I only use this cfw by the way and I'm not interested in the others). I just used the SX OS installer from a few weeks back and it's working and as long as it's working that's all I care about. I once tried goldleaf and only got errors and I don't really want to touch it again. What's the best way to install nsp's with firmware req disabled now that tinfoil seems to be broken with 7.0.0 (2 month old post though).

Using goldleaf v0.5 and the latest fluffy on mac os I get an error the second I hit begin transfer. It says "gold leaf threw an exception" and thats it. I can install via goldleaf using terminal no problems. I am also able to use tinfoil via fluffy. Which works for now but I prefer gold leaf. Any ideas?

 

[fourminute]

Hi everyone, I'm taking some feature requests for the next version of Fluffy that should include Goldleaf v0.5+ support. Let me know if/what features or changes you guys would like to see.

Can't seem to get this to run, appears to be missing stuff from Qt

[DerekGeneric831]

unsure what i'm doing wong but this is in my log
i've made sure to install everything through terminal..
can someone give me a hand?

In the troubleshooting section there's a fix for that. If you try it it might work, everyone's system is different though. If Fluffy can't find PyQt5 then there's something wrong with the way your system is configured.

The troubleshoooting section said to run it through IDLE, and I had tried that, but to no avail. However, I tried again today and it just worked, didn't even need to go through IDLE so maybe all I needed was a reboot? I'm guessing Windows didn't update my PATH completely or something

 

[jacopastorius]

i really cant get this work with goldleaf 0.5. I can install nsp with fluffy only using tinfoil

 

[LyfeOnEdge]

@fourminute Could you add the custom tinfoil as either a release assest or under it's own repo as a release?

 

[Dasfilth]

Can't quite figure this one out.

Check the readme, I believe it has steps for if you encounter this error

In the next release 2.9.0 I am including single-file binaries that should prevent this kind of error(if you don't wish to use the Python script). But only for Windows(.exe) and Linux. A lot of people have library mismatches and such problems, don't worry, I am working on it.

Also to the above user, I will include the custom Tinfoil as a release asset, sure!
