Would be great to have this app updated. Otherwise, the best choice is to actually use the installers this one came to replace.

I'm trying to install both The Witcher 3 DLCs but some some reason the files won't appear on the folder I've copied them to. Is this an issue with the nsp files or the app? I'm still on emuNAND 12.0.2, haven't updated to the latest Atmosphere yet.

EDIT: Seems file names were too long. Renaming them fixed the issues.

I'm using Tinwoo for two reasons: I won't use anything by @blawar and Awoo Installer sadly doesn't have External HDD support yet...

But I'm having a hard time to cope with Tinwoo's Icon and default skin, haha. They are... ugly. It would help a lot if you could make the next releases a bit more on the minimalistic side of things, @mrdude . Think of Goldleaf for instance. Just my two cents haha.

Here's a suggestion:

And for the Icon:

Sometimes less is more, imho!

You can make your own skins, so it's not an issue, certainly nothing I am concerned about. Also the code is on github so you can just compile yourself with whatever skin you want.

any chance of making it faster to read hardrive with more than 200 nsp inside? DBi is almost instant in reading hardrives.

This is brilliant. Thanks for developing this and adding USB HDD + NSZ file support. Works like a charm

Tinwoo Installer is the best tool. I love it. Much better than Tinfoil.io version to my opinion. Can't figure out Tinfoil.io version to installed xci. This solved my problem right away! Good work!

You go to the file browser and click on the XCI. Or you just connect a USB cable to your PC and drag the XCI to the install folder. It's much simpler than this actually.

I understand but you require network to do that, right ? Maybe it is easier for Windows PC but not for macOS user so I use TinWoo Installer.. Much quicker and less hassle. ^_^

You do not require network, though a network install is the easiest in your case (add nutfs). If you are on Mac and can't use MTP (you wont set it up), then you have to download a third party program + driver, the same as with this app.

Using a mac in the switch scene is just generally going to be a bad time though.

Thats why I am saying that this is easier for macOS users to use it. I have a PC too and yes, it seems to be easy with tinfoil.to and TinWoo Installer but macOS version have a problem with only "tinfoil.to". And I just want to help people with macOS who can used "TinWoo Installer" instead. :)

You misunderstood the point. You had to download a third party program + driver to do USB installs on the Mac... if you wanted to do NUT installs the process is the exact same: download a third party program and use a driver. This was not easier. If anything, I would think NUT would be easier since I would imagine setting up python is easier than Java on MacOS.

My comment about MacOS sucking was just general advice as MacOS does suck for doing many things with a switch: doesn't support MTP out of the box, likes to "corrupt" switch SD cards when you mount them in MacOS. Most software is written for Linux or windows.

I know. That's why it is a little bit complicate for macOS. I dont know the third part program plus driver to do USB installs on the Mac. I used terminal a lot, thought.

I am having an issue with a certain games. When installing NSZ it fails to load the game with "failed to load corrupt data". When I convert the game to NSP (Switch Army Knife (SAK)) and install it, then it works fine.

Any thoughts why NSZ fails when the conversion of the same file works? Thanks!

My thoughts (I do not know for sure, just thoughts)
1. Block compressed nsz. Tinwoo not suppoprts it, SAK does support.
2. Bug in nsz decompress in tinwoo, that is absent in SAK.

To check this try use anotherr installer: Tinfoil or DBI, that uses different decompress engine.

    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze

    so..... yeah

    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double

    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in

    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
