Homebrew RELEASE NS-USBloader - another one Tinfoil and GoldLeaf USB installer

[developer_su]

Let me know if I can try anything else.

Tell me please your macOS version (is it Mojave?), which USB cable you use (I use type-C to USB 2, I mean not USB3 in the PC end) and give me output log for this:
https://github.com/developersu/ns-usbloader/releases/tag/v0.2.3-DEV

Thanks!

I'm still using High Sierra, my old MBA won't support any higher. It has USB 2 ports, not USB 3. The cable is a swanky Anker with USB C at the Switch end and the old USB 2 at the other.

Re-download jar please and check if it works now. I replaced usb-backend library to previous version and it may solve the issue. If so, I'll report to upstream, otherwise I don't know what else could solve it..
Location is the same.

Output not needed.
Appreciate your assistance.

I give this a spin when I get home thanks for your hard work. I use fluffy with OG Tinfoil so this should just work as is.

Things to note. Can this handle long file names and accents in the title of the nsp as well as special characters?

 

[linuxares]

Oh neat, I'll test it once I get home!

Yes. Both TinFoil and GoldLeaf supports UTF-8 names. TinFoil can't render, but can accept them as I know. At least I checked it for Cyrillic, Japanese and Chinese simplified NSP file names. (Not sure that I went to step where it actually installing NSP.. but I think we should be good with it.)

Yes, this worked perfectly - thanks!

Hi

I have only just setup my Switch using the guide as SDSetup and wanted to use this program to upload some games. The version of Tinfoil I have only seem to allow one NSP to be uploaded at a time even though I have selected several, and I can't find the version of Tinfoil mentioned (by Adubbz). Where can I get the correct version of Tinfoil from?

Thanks

 

[developer_su]

Great! You made my day. I thought that I never fix it.
Will draft new pre-release for 'High Sierra' as an ad-hoc solution before libusb-guys fix it.

Where can I get the correct version of Tinfoil from?

For example, https://bsnx.lavatech.top/tinfoil/
But to be honest, I don't know which version is good.
And 'Adubbz' is a guy who has been developing it.

This is the version I've been using I think, and it's been working perfectly for me with aluminumfoil and has just worked well with ns-usbloader too. There's a particular build of tinfoil from the buildbot that some people recommend as well, but I don't know which one, so try this for now.

It works and very smooth paired with Hippy Dave Tinfoil 0.2.1 he is using.

I tried probably 5 or 6 different builds from Lavatech and none of them worked at all. Fwiw SatelliteSeeker's build works perfectly for me. The only difference is the readbuffer size (1mb instead of 8mb) which makes me wonder if certain usb chipsets act stupid with that large of a transfer chunk.

NS USB input and/or output endpoint supports 512 bytes maximum (per packet). Bulk transfer (that is used) in both cases could be any.. 1mb, 8mb, 4gb. Libusb will split it, pack and transfer.

Hey guys, got a little problem with this. Switch screen just hangs on 'Waiting for USB to be ready', and USB loader says it failed to open NS USB device (see pic).
What am I missing?

I use Tinfoil. I think I'm connected in USB mode... but maybe for some reason I'm not? That could be my problem.

I mean on your PC.. Looks like you're on Windows and did not installed drivers.

That readme is missing a step on zdiag click options and all devices or the Switch will not show up.
