Works 100% with the 2018-10-20 build of Tinfoil. Newer versions break it.

Fwiw, I have no intentions of addressing this. Use the older build of TinFoil (which is what I do, it works fine).

When/If GoldLeaf gets an official release I'll update Aluminum.

Yes, but I tried a couple of versions of tinfoil (including the 10/20 version), but it didn't work for me, because when the PC sends the headers, I just get an empty list of NSPs to install: (https://imgur.com/a/UTcKN6y)

for me aluminumfoil only work with tinfoil that was packed with sdfiles. the one from lavalabs doesnt work

It's a great tool. No need to update it as it works. I meant that the incompatibility falls on Tinfoil and not your app.

Thanks for your work.

Thanks for the help, but unfortunately the 10/20 SDfiles one didn't work for me either. Just a blank list on the Switch

Oh my god... I'm trying on another computer, now I'm getting this error in Powershell when using "python usb_install_pc.py /path/to/NSPs/""

>>
File "usb_install_pc.py", line 7

PS D:\Users\T\Downloads\nsp>

I'm not sure if I'm right or not, but maybe try to make a folder in the root of your c drive and include the usb_install_pc.py and your nsp folder inside of that folder, open said folder and hold shift and press right click on your mouse, select open command prompt here, then type in usb_install_pc.py nsp
