NSP XCI FAT32 AMS Lakka

[RaynorBlackwood]

I have a problem ...
Im using AMS and Lakka, my SD Card is on FAT32, now .. one File over 4GB is impossible to copy on my SD Card, i could format into exFAT, but then wouldnt Lakka work, but one File can be over 4 GB.
Other option would be nsp to xci, cause of high compression.

What would you recommend, dear Reader?

What kind of file are you trying to copy that is so big? If it's a nsp file, why not installing through USB? Nobody (I hope) copies their nsp files to the SD card nowadays. Keep your SD card formatted as FAT32. That's the way it should be.

Yes ita NSP, i cant install it with atmoxl through usb, it doesnt work.

Yes, DBI works with USB. That's what I use and recommend. Best installer out there right now.

You can split the file.
You can install over the network
You can install over usb.

I've been using Tinfoil for Network/usb installs.

Also Tinfoil has a great MTP mode. Enable it in the options. Then plug switch in to the PC. Drag and drop files in to the install folder to install over USB. You can access the NAND,SD rip games and OS files.

DBI might. I use tinfoil

I heard about MTP Installation, is it recommended?

Nuuhhh Tinfoil is a no go for me ... Cant trust it.. but thanks instead.

I had trouble with MTP with my Linux installation, but it worked on Windows. Your milage may vary. DBI with backend on Linux worked fine, though.

Yes there is a dbibackend.exe in the package, is it needed?

any particular reason you don't trust tinfoil?

It's optional. For me, it works. Try it. DBI is a great installer.

no.

There are other MTP options.

In DBI

• Open DBI then press X to enter MTP-Mode.
  
  On your PC drag'n'drop your NSP/XCI to your MTP-Device (Labeled as SWITCH).
  
  You can choose if you want to install your Game to your Nand or SD Card

Tinfoil gets a bad rap but is not dangerous. Blawar's politics aside. And this isn't about politics.

Cuz of it need to be a title and not a app, i dont like it.

I will definitly give it a try.

TinWoo Installer is also worth checking out.

Mate, fuck tinwoo. Only has like 5% of the functionality DBI offers, with absolutely no advantages over it.

Stop messing around and just use dbi. Life-changer. And stop recommending tinwoo every time. I know you think you have a biological need to pointlessly pad your postcount, but trust me you dont actually need to.

The installer fragmentation in switch scene makes absolutely no sense... we have one app that does everything extremely well, and yet people insist on having and using 50 different apps that do less and do it worse. Tinfoil makes sense because it has functionality no other installers have, but for everything else there is no reason why anything other than dbi should even exist.

Speaking of tinfoil though, @RaynorBlackwood I'm pretty sure recently Tinfoil started offering a standalone .nro that you can run directly from hbl, if that was the only thing stopping you. There is also Lithium but I don't know if Lithium has mtp.

I dont care any more MTP- , USB- Installation, it works damn bad and isnt a good solution for me, im splitting the .NSP's into parts and then transfer those files over FTP or just Drag and Drop with putting the SD into PC.
DBI will be my one and only installer.
All others are just colourfull and full of bugs, no thanks.
