Hacking install NSP via USB

[VFCalado]

If you have problem about stuck 0% when install, you can go to repo release and download the usb_install_pc.py and replace it in folder TinfoilUBSINSTALL. And run .bat again. it work for me

Thank's

I have got this up and running. There is a great 5 min video on Youtube explaining exactly how this is done. Could somebody kindly help answer questions I have? (full time job + being a dad really hold me back these days from being fully involved with the "scene");

- I have my SD Card (running ReiNX) formatted to exFAT. I am hearing FAT32 is more "stable". So, if I simply copy over the entire contents of my SD card as it is to an external HDD > format my SD card to FAT32 > copy entire contents back to the SD card, will this work?

- Once on FAT32, can I USB install (using above method) NSP files >4GB without having to further split the NSP on into smaller parts?

Would REALLY appreciate the help guys.

KR,

Does this USB install let aside FAT32 or ExFAT restrictions?

I'm stuck on FAT32 and was looking a better way to install larger games on Switch...

yes, usb install means you don't need to split nsps first.

stick to fat32, it doesnt corrupt as easily

KR,

yes. copying back and forth worked for me.
you will not need to split nsps if you install through usb like this.

I managed to get everything python running fine, but windows and zadig duo being a ittybittchie doesn't want those drivers working

I have a strange issue, when I boot to cfw and run tenfoil at album and select title management I don't see ( USB Install NSP) option, I tried different tenfoil versions with no change.I tried last tenfoil version.
is there something I missed it?

I use Reinx & 4.1.0 firmware

This one, just like the official method, dosn't work for me. Upgraded python, installed libraries, got the drivers, got latest tinfoil, and it doesn't work. It shows an error for a split second, and if it's the same, then it's
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\anon\Desktop\usb_install_pc.py", line 147, in <module>
dev = usb.core.find(idVendor=0x057E, idProduct=0x3000)

[mhamd]

i have the same from there :o

that is strange

do you think I need to update my switch from 4.1.0 to 5? do I need to enble exFAT at 4.1.0 FW?

I use Reinx , I don't know what I miss it

 

[mhamd]

I saw a post say I need to 5.0+ FW

 

[Vorde]

If I understand, this allows you to store NSP files on your USB drive or stick, and then install to NAND or SD Card; not install and run games via USB storage

 

[mhamd]

i have the same from there :o

after updated 4.1.0 to 5.1.0 FW + exFAT

USB Install NSP option is appear in title management

thanks

I want this to work but the directions are hard to follow due to language barriers.
I can't seem to connect to the switch even with installing libsk via zadig and running the bat in the exact path specified.
I feel like I'm just missing something.

theres a typo in the dir "TinfoilUBSINSTALL"
as you can see....its "ubs" not "usb"
also, use the tinfoil included in the archive. mine wouldn't work until i switched to the tinfoil in the zip..
cheers!

I thought this was somthing else. Loading NSP from USB

 

[Vorde]

Once its possible to install and run games Via USB drives, then it will be something of interest imo
