Homebrew WIP nxmtp: access your SD Card over USB without rebooting

[liuervehc]

Pre-release at https://github.com/liuervehc/nxmtp/releases

This is MTP (across USB) for the Switch; might work, might not.

When you use Github you should also provide the source code, not just a README.

Thanks it run perfectly!!

Any plans to release a source code? Not a lot of trust in software that can't be audited, especially with recent brick scares. Unfortunate because it's definitely something well needed.

Yes, eventually. It needs to be cleaned up, and I'd like to take care of any major issues that may be exposed through actual use.

It's not brickware.

Hi,
I've noticed that you cannot move files. It will be copied but nit removed from hdd. If multiple files it will stop after first one. You also cannot copy at all folders with split nsp with archive bit set. It will not even start.

Do you mean that you cannot move files on device (from a location on the device, to a location on the device)? What OS/software are you using? Moving/copying over existing folders in this way is explicitly not supported; these types of operations do not work on my Android phone, either.

The second issue is probably due to these folders appearing as monolithic files to FS (?), their purpose being to support files with size > ~4 GiB on FAT32. All operations should be checked to not violate the limits imposed by FAT32.

If ti's possible, can you give another version with access only to SD Card (or give option before starting client)? I don't want to corrupt my NAND by accident.

Does this keep the screen on by itself or do I have to tap the screen occasionally to stop my switch from sleeping?

System is already read-only, but I'll think about it.

You need to keep the Switch from sleeping.

You need to keep the Switch from sleeping.

Ah okay. I remember a while back when of the homebrew apps received an update that kept the screen from sleeping. I think it was the classic version of tinfoil.

Windows 10 on the las update asking for driver when switch is connected with this app. MTP on mobile works without any issues. Any ideas?

I'm using the latest build of Windows 10. Works without any drivers.

40MB/s

It seems files larger than 4GB won't allow to copy/ delete. Those files (>4GB) won't appear on MacOS.

 

[liuervehc]

As I said, this should (unless I've missed some checks) have the same limitations as FAT32. FAT32 does not support files larger than ~4 GiB.
