WIP nxmtp: access your SD Card over USB without rebooting

I made this icon for nxmtp, feel free to use on your .nro or .nsp

 

Dumb question I know, but how do we change the icon on an nro?

 

use nro asset editor: https://github.com/vgmoose/nro-asset-editor

 

Thank you sir.

 

Thats very cool made sir

 

This worked well transferring files from my computer to Switch. But when I try transferring files from my Android phone to Switch, Atmosphere crashes right before transfer is complete and file is not transferred. Anyone else encountered similar issue? Thanks in advance.

 

sorry for the late response. i attached the image of my windows version. It is version 1803 (Build 17134.885)

my switch is on sxos beta 2.8 emunand

tegra RCM works in pushing payload, even the mounting of the switch via UMTS tool in the tegra RCM app. I can use fluffy on PC to install games on switch via tinfoil over USB.

i also uploade an image with explanation of what happens when the switch is connected via USB without any homebrew enabled and when i enable nxmtp.

I was hoping to see switch under Other Devices so i can install MTP drivers for it but the switch only appears under Universal Serial Bus devices.

Hope more technically oriented people here can help me.

Thank you very much. Salamat

Edit:
*To add, if this is important, I am able to use my android phone connected as MTP to this same laptop I use.
* I looked at the driver of the switch and it is not wpdmtp.inf but instead it is oem58.inf. i think this is key to the problem at hand.
*final edit: I managed to solved the problem. I needed to delete the oem58.inf driver and the pc recognized the switch as MTP device

 

@liuervehc Is it possible to prevent it from going to sleep (turning the screen off only) when games are being transferred as it disconnects the transfers.

 

This used to always work well for me using Windows 10, but now all the suddenly transfers keep stopping and then cancelling it. I have to try like 10 times if it's above 1 gb, usually it'll make a noise and just cancel. Tried on two laptops. It's not because of sleep either I'm touching the screen to keep it awake during transfer.

 

Works it macOS Catalina beta, fwiw.

 

I only use it for small files like savegames and homebrew apps, work like a charm.

 

does anyone knows when this will have >4Gb file support?
I'm on exfat, and after 4Gb it crashes...

 

Never.

 

Really?
can we have access to the source code so we can finish it please?

 

The >4 GB limitation is a limitation of MTP itself. You would need to port a different transfer system in order to be able to transfer files larger than 4 GB although I don't see what <4 GB files you would need to transfer.

 

The protocol it uses, mtp, doesn't support files over 4gb.

 

Try the Goldleaf/goldtree USB browser as it supports >4GB files.

 

You're better off using bllawar's tinfoil with nut server for big transfers. The nutfs protocol allows transfers via usb of any file.
You need to specifically add the nutfs protocol on the tinfoil side and you'll be able to see your pc folder on the switch.

Is not exactly like that. Many misinformation is shared trough the internet about the mtp protocol. Is not an issue on the homebrew, the mtp protocol supports transfers bigger than 4GB but it must be handled pc side and is hard to handle, windows explorer for example doesn't handle it properly and sincerely i don't know any transfer utility that does. Maybe calibre, but i'm not sure.
Bassicaly i attached the protocol documentation about how to handle transfers bigger than 4GB, which to be fair is pretty wonky to do.
I read on a blog before how some dude implemented it using the 0xFFFFFFFF value in the containerlength field, as described on the protocol, and then he cut the transfer using the usb driver itself when all the file was transfered.
Well, when i say pc side i mean on the senders side.

 

any plans to release source code for this app?
