Goldleaf

Goldleaf is a multipurpose homebrew tool for Nintendo Switch!​

Similar to the well-known 3DS homebrew FBI, Goldleaf serves as a file browser/manager/editor, title manager, user account manager... and more!

• For more detailed information, check Goldleaf's GitHub repository: https://github.com/XorTroll/Goldleaf​

Let Goldleaf make your life easier while dealing with more or less technical Nintendo Switch stuff!

I just tried updating my old NSP installation of Goldleaf via Goldleaf.nro, the uninstallation of the pre-existing app and the subsequent re-installation all went smoothly.

Maybe the new protocol is slower or something like that, but at least it's more stable now. Didn't had any issue installing via USB for now while I had a lot with 0.3 and 4

@hippy dave what transfer speed you get on USB with V5 I am getting 16mbps compared to TF where I get 25-30mbps

Ya i am seeing that as well. But is average speed though, maybe the calculation is wrong?

I transferred a 3.93GB NSP last night through USB it stayed at constant 16MB. Yet on a non gui connecter like TF it's faster is it the GUI that creating an overhead or is the usb side not optimized yet I saw the same speed on V3 as well.

I just did a installation with goldleaf 0.5 and NS-USBloader 0.4 instead of goldtree having the same speed as well around 15MB/s Maybe it got something to do with you the USB transfer protocol in goldleaf 0.5

PS Tried with USB A to Type C USB 2.0 and type c to type c 3.0

USB is in a better state now:

• Installations are no longer handled by two different threads, which makes them more stable.

This is why the USB install speed is slower, its not a display bug or a USB bug.

I tried out the new 0.5 to install some games today, everything went smoothly. Nice job on the update.

Great job with this update, this is the only app which lets me install my NSPs via USB without crashing on 7.X. However, updates over updates via USB don't work, it says that content is already installed, so I have to delete the old update before I'm able to install it, please fix this when you can.

Does the new version support xci installation like tinfoil?

Hey guys, I've been using Dopus to install NSPs from 6.0 up to 6.2 since last October. I've been installing titles just fine with Dopus, but I'd rather upgrade to something that's still being updated. I've been researching on the latest installers, and I've had to sift through a ton of drama posts. I'm not trying to get into that discussion, I'm just trying to figure out what I should upgrade to from Dopus.

This is my usual process: NSP goes on SD card, put the card back into my Switch, boot up with ReiNX, then go to Dopus and install the NSP, and I can immediately play after (I don't do anything else like modifying tickets or converting stuff from xci to nsp, etc etc).

Would Goldleaf be an upgrade from Dopus? I just want to install titles like I have been doing, I don't mind the long process. I know network installs exist, but I'd rather just install directly from my SD card.

Thanks for any help/info.

Goldleaf does install NSPs from SD, yes. Don't know that there is much reason to upgrade unless you are on FW 7.x though.

I cannot exit Goldtree 0.5 without getting a crash. Kosmos 11.11 (Atmosphere 0.8.5)

Exit with the + button.

try " Replace NCA " option

I'm having issues compiling Goldleaf, I build libnx-goldleaf first, then compiled goldleaf nro, everything appeared to be fine but when I launch on the switch it goes to a black screen and eventually crashes with 2168-0002 (0x4a8), any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Just grab the latest precompiled nightly build here:

This doesn't solve the issue of being unable to build it myself. I'm aware of where to get working builds, thanks tho.

did you use “make install” in libnx-goldleaf or just “make”?

You wouldn't want to do make install, the makefile for goldleaf is referencing directly from the libnx-goldleaf directory for the libs it needs.

LIBDIRS    := $(PORTLIBS) $(CURDIR)/../libnx-Goldleaf/nx $(CURDIR)/../libnx-Goldleaf/nx/fatdrive $(CURDIR)/Program/ExeFs/main/External/pu $(CURDIR)/Program/ExeFs/main/External/json $(CURDIR)/Program/ExeFs/main/External/hactool $(CURDIR)/Program/ExeFs/main/External/mbedtls

Oh, huh. Dunno what the issue is then :/

Same, very baffled, I also tried with make install libnx-goldleaf instead of installing it thru pacman, same results.

Is there a simple python script for install via usb on linux? Is there a simple python script to install over wifi on linux?

The old tinfoil was better for Linuxusers!

 

[lettuce]

Is there another way to exit out of goldleaf other than the home button as that way always crashes my switch!??

How do you install NSP from USB?
I don't see any client on windows.

NVM, I didn't see GoldTree in the release tab (using kozmos, that's why)... Srry.

Cannot seem to have any luck with this anymore.. used to work pretty nice.

On 0.5 release, I always get the error that the title is already installed. Someone mentioned "Replace NCA" option, but I don't see anything like that anywhere, and no google search gives any results... what is this?

If I try latest nightly build as of now, I get error "Metadata could not be located in the NCA(3)"...

Anyone know what's going on?

EDIT: Forgot to say some details.

Switch is 7.0.1 using ReiNX.
