How to get dbi backend to work?

[Bigdrago]

Hello. I open dbibackend.exe selecting the game and starting server. The problem is that the dbi on switch cant connect to my pc. I am using usb-c to usb-c.
Further down on dbi github page I see that I have to install libusbK (v3.1.0.0), I install it but dbi still cant connect to dbibackend.
Any ideas?
Switch oled, windows 11.

Why not just use MTP Responder mode? Just copy and paste the xci/nsp to the Switch icon on "My Computer", no need to use additional programs.

Had to use normal Usb to Usb C

Connect the Switch to your computer with whatever USB cable you are using, and try the MTP Responder option on the DBI main menu. It is, by far (very very far), the best way to install games.

Thanks, the mtp responder was nice. Do I keep the transferred nsp on SD Card Install or delete?

What probably happened is that the connection went backwards (switch --> pc instead of pc --> switch)

That's a stupid thing that often happens with usb c to usb c cable, instead of connecting for data it just tries to use the device as a power bank lol

The devices "SD Card Install" and "NAND Install" are virtual, not real devices. Any XCI/NSP you copy onto them, is not really copied, it is installed on the fly while it's being transferred. Next time you connect to DBI, they will be empty again, so there is no file to delete.
