If you need source code write your own.

460 is up with some great new features.

Please thank the guy in the post right above me, @duckbill007

(Please don’t thank me. I’m just a dirty reposter.)

But you are such a great dirty reposter, though! Thanks, binkinator, you make life easier for all of us. And of course thanks go to @duckbill007 for keeping DBI well updated. You can keep the source code closed all you want, I don't mind, yours is still the best installer app existing for the Switch.

I have no idea how to reproduce it.

I don't know if it's a happy accident or intentionally fixed since the note on github at https://github.com/rashevskyv/dbi/releases/tag/462 just says "Screen timeout bugfix" but I confirm that the exit crashing issue is fixed for me in 462, no crashing at all when exiting in any mode. Thank you.

 

[duckbill007]

Nothing is done for exit crashes. I can not reproduce it and not fixing it. Fixes in 462 can not be related to exit crashes.

Ok but I can assure you 100% it's fixed in 462. Again I tested by rolling back to 460 and immediately the crashes when exiting start again, back to 462 and it does not crash at all. I checked in your issues and another user has reported the same: https://github.com/rashevskyv/dbi/issues/142#issuecomment-1357449016

That option work just fine, you need the drivers (look on download sections switch zadig drivers https://gbatemp.net/download/zadig-generated-nintendo-switch-drivers-for-windows.37504/ ) and follow the steps you describe.

but I really do preffer the MTP responder method, is cleaner and faster.

I will 2nd using MTP. Turn it on, plug it in, drag and drop.

 

[fadafwet]

You don't run the installer,

now void instructions, see next:

Sadly, seems microsoft block the certificates on last update, so by now you need to use Zadig to create a new set of certificates and install manually the drivers:

1. Go to https://zadig.akeo.ie/ site and download the latest Zadig

Run as administrator, or allows to be run as administrator>

Select Options -> List All Devices

Select de device APX if you are con recovery mode or DBI if you are inside DBI , then select the Diver "libusbK" and from the little arrow besides Install Driver, select Install Driver

After That Press the button "Install Driver"

The process can take some minutes, at end the driver (and certificates) will be installed for you.

sorry for confusion.

 

[fadafwet]

Thank you for those detailed information, with your help I was able to install games with dbi from the usb

I've only been getting install speeds of around 20MB/s. I suspect this is my MicroSD card being slow. For those who has 45MB/s and up install speeds, what MicroSD brands, models, and capacities are you using?

Thanks!

USB 3.0
DBI supports USB 3.0. If you are using kefir, then USB 3.0 is active by default. Otherwise, you need to activate this function through the Atmosphere configuration files by writing in atmosphere \ config \ system_settings.ini:

[usb]
usb30_force_enabled = u8!0x1

Important - activiating USB 3.0 can interfere with bluetooth and 2.4GHz wifi connections. If you experience any connection issues with your wireless controllers or 2.4GHz wifi networks then you should not activate USB 3.0. 5GHz wifi connections should be generally unaffacted.

copy paste from the read.me in English.

Is the wifi thing also happening when you are NOT using DBI?

Yes, it could, you need to test

USB 3 enabled, using a fast 512GB card (Sandisk Ultra) and only getting 10 MB/s on a USB3 port.

using USB install. Using MTP install, it transfers 70% faster at 17 MB/s. but still not fast. hardware can do much faster.

what is wrong?

Sandisk Ultra

It's an A1 card, and not so fast. Use EXTREME PRO A2, like this:

Even the fastest cards are only going to go at 30 - 40 MB/s

View attachment 374927

it should do 60 MB/s at least according to this benchmark:

Benchmarks <> real world. You also have to consider the overhead of the MTP protocol and HOS drivers.
