I tried them all:

1. goldtree/goldleaf is a pain since it cannot do batch install and uses its (zadig tool) driver which is a hassle on every reboot.

2. tinfoil uses NUT server which does not find some .nsp files that are not in the proper header format.

3. tinfoil 0.2.1 with usb fix refuses some .nsp files and then crashes because it is old and buggy as shit.

so why is there no proper way to install the files that we mount using NS-USBLOADER? we just need a proper switch installer. PC side is fine using ns-usbloader.

please...

there is, its called sx os.

you can have an xci or nsp on your sd card or usb and install it to your sd or internal memory.

He is talking about the reverse direction.
He wants to install off console memory or sd card to an external usb.

Why when you simply store the xci or nsp and it runs off it.

Purpose of installing off usb with sx os is its not limited to fat32 so you can have large roms and if you want to play it on the move, install it to ad or internal.

Id find it stupid to want to install a game to a device when it can simply load off it as it is.

No, he wants to install from a PC while reading the NSP directly from the PC via USB.

So he wants network install not usb.

His title is why no proper usb install.

There is, sx os insert usb device and install.

Installing off a pc isnt usb its via network.

no, it installs over USB not network.

Real tinfoil with NS-USBloader has been 100% reliable for me.

The critique was never reliability, he wants easy batch installs which you cannot do.

I use sx/tinfoil installer with nut server version 1.1 and it works great over WiFi for me as well as usb. Not sure if you’re aware @blawar but downloading version 1.2 of nut server seems to have some sort of malware attached these days, my windows defender always deletes it? @hippy dave I must try that one out never knew it existed.

Goldleaf works perfect here so dunno what your doing wrong

He is not doing anything wrong, it does not support batch installs.

Windows likes to identify most compiled python as malware, the source code is available if anyone wishes to run the raw scripts, its just compiled to exe for convenience.

I did not mean to come off hasty, people report that to me often, and there is nothing I can do about it. Luckily the project is open source.

    @K3Nv2 He was looking into consoles for his house anyway (for my younger siblings and himself) and I had a spare XSX and Switch I ended up selling him at pretty steep cuts. I would just give them to him, but I did buy them with the intent to sell them... and college is super expensive.
