Homebrew Quick question about downloading games

[Nic2609]

So i was thinking if i can install games like you do with tinwoo or dbi (by connecting a cable on pc and then install directly the game) but from a phone instead, i saw you can inject the paylod too so i thought if there was any method with the phone

You need a computer, if you want to install on the switch directly get a pro shops license

I would imagine there's a way to do it via ftp or using an otg cable from your phone. I'm almost positive it's possible but I haven't tried. I have transfered shit between my phone and switch but not attempted any installs per say.

You can setup a local database server with tinfoil to download games from your pc, when you don't need a cable or a phone.
the easiest way to set this up is using "Nut" from the site even thought it no longer gets update.

- you just download nut
- run.exe in a new folder (it will setup everything and download the titleDB)
- add folder to you wanna scan for NSP/XCI/NSZ files
- press scan

when in tinfoil you just add the host/port/username/password you see in the program on your pc and you are done.
the only downside is that you need to have Nut running on the pc for it to work, so most people use a NAS for this.

If you have an otg cable (usb c to usb c) you can use dbi to install from phone, also could use ftp from your phone but that speed will be slow
