Hello everyone, the new release with the much requested USB support is finally here! (Couldn't have done it without @DarkMatterCore's usb library) It's worth mentioning since it is such a big update (backend changes and FS refactor) there *may* be some issues, but the only way I can find and fix those is through you guys! However rest assured, I did run a lot of tests myself to make sure it is functioning as expected. If I waited a month, it would've been exactly 2 years since the last release .

Change-log:

• FS:
  • Added support for browsing USB devices.
  • Switched back to libc to handle FS operations.
  • Brought back support for browsing other devices such as safe, user and system.
• GUI:
  • Update to imGui v1.88.
  • Switch to imGui's new keyEvent API.
  • The two views (File Browser and Settings) can now be navigated as tabs.
  • Switched from list view to a table view using imGui's table API.
  • Sorting is no longer applied from settings, it can be done directly by clicking on the table column headers.
  • A new selector has been added to allow the user to switch to different devices such as safe, user, USB etc.
  • Settings are no longer categorized by imGui's tree system.
  • No longer uses SDL2 as a backend, but instead uses opengl v3 directly (along with egl).
• Fixes:
  • Properly delete config file if the config file version is outdated.
  • Properly free textures after exiting application.
  • Fixed scrolling via the right joystick after zooming into an image.
  • Lots of code clean up and under the hood changes that are too many to list here.

Last but not least, today's the European champions league final - Let's go reds! I believe in Salah, Mane and Firmino <3 !

Guess I was second lol

On a more serious note FINALLY.

Thank you VERY much for this.

Testing now.

Nice!
OP is there a possibility to embed a ftp client in it?

 

[Centergaming]

You should try to add video support too (like .mp4 files if that's possible)
I like the design, good job man! Also another suggestion, FTP would be great too!

 

[Notex]

Is this only for the user partition?

 

[Centergaming]

LOL literally just questioned that.

 

[Leonidas87]

Testing on 4.1.0 and 5.0.2 right now

 

[Crownfox]

Quick question, is this touch-supported?

 

[Joel16]

For those asking about FTP support. Yes that will come in the future, 3DShell also has it, so this will get it as well. I'm just waiting for libnx to mature a little more. For example we can't even get the IP address yet, so once things are matured more features will be added to this. Also do note: new folder and rename aren't implemented due to the missing keyboard feature. Once that's available (or if I'm not too lazy to write my own) these features will be ready. Not too sure about videos but I do plan on adding music player support at some point as well.

Nice, I like the Android design.

 

[Leonidas87]

Working on 4.1.0

Copy paste, delete and everything

Exactly what we needed.

Amazing work.

5.0.2 test after fba rom transfer

Agreed that the android look is on par

 

[dj_skual]

perhaps possible to add a skin linked to the skin of the switch (light or dark)...

 

[Jayro]

Add movie player please. (MP4 and MKV with H.264 codec support)

 

[eliboa]

Nice work

 

[KuraudoSutoraifu]

Nice work! Also really like the material design.

 

[Zumoly]

Wow! A wish come true!
Thank you very much for this. I really needed to delete some rom files.
FTP would be great especially if android apps are supported.
And maybe native usb support Switch to PC.

 

[Dionicio3]

Dude the GUI on this thing is really awesome, nice work!

 

[Deleted-355425]

Thank you for your work.

I wonder if in future updates you could add support to copy file from an USB to the SD (while docked) for those who don't have an SD port on their PC
i think it's possible
Anyways great job so far !
