How To Copy 16GB NSP To SD Card

[MikeTheKnight2016]

My SD Card is formatted as FAT32 - how do I get a 16GB nsp on it so I can install?

by using some hb tools like DBI for example https://github.com/rashevskyv/dbi/releases

oh cool - i haven't used this, but it looks like it can be installed over home server is what i need. Thank you.

If I remember right, isn't there a tool on Hekate that formats sd cards in a way that allows large file size transfers?

 

[MikeTheKnight2016]

There might be....i've got so much goodies on my sd card i'd hate to have to reformat and start over.

Do usb install instead by connecting your switch to your computer.

I hear ya. If memory serves, I think the format was exFat, but I can imagine moving stuff over would be a major pain.

What tool do I use to do the usb install? I haven't added games in forever, haha

dbi mtp responder work in this case, you don't even need exFAT as you can do everything on FAT32.

 

[MikeTheKnight2016]

good deal - i'll check out dbi mtp - i'm not at the computer this very second but def like that option

i've used DBI numerous times and using it is the best and safest option and won't harm your sd card by formatting it or anything like that.

Yeah DBI is the perfect title installer. Especially its MTP Responder mode which allows file access to basically the entire system over USB.

You don't need to copy the NSP to the card, use any installer you like to install the NSP on your console.

As stated DBI is the best one around. you can send the file via MTP, FTP or using the backend program. is your choice.

When i start my MTP Responder it shows lots of info but the one I want to call out is
AMS USB3.0 patch enabled: no

what does that mean and do I need to set it to yes?

Second question....
Everything looked like it installed properly, but when I try to open the title from the homescreen I have a grey rectangle, and when I click on it I get the error
An error has occurred.
Please try again later.
If the proplem persiksts, please try performing a system update from (System Settings) => System on the HOME Menu

you need to enable Homebrew USB 3.0 on atmosphere config files.

I like atmo titel XL
I also recommend using USB HDD--saves a lot of time and you can use fat32/exfat without issues (like merging/file spilt)


DBI also supports this, but the (ATXL) UI is helpful when you're anything+feet away from any screen.

--------------

An error has occurred.

you installed a title that:
may not be for your FW
may have installed twice
installed the update/DLC w/o title
Frankenwared you(rself)
did smth new (?)

Most cases, try to reinstall, after deleting from DBI, with a double "cleanup orphaned files".

You can use Tinfoil's NUT, you just put the NSP files in the same folder as the executable, connect your Switch, start Tinfoil and then start NUT.

am I incorrect here...I thought Tinfoil/Nut was bad and shouldn't be continued used.

oh sheesh - okay i'll look thro the config files to see where this setting is.

Is that what caused the failed install?

There is two threads of thinkg.

Some people love tinfoils and worship it. others heate it to death. even the tinfoil programmers are involved, some time ago they put some code on it what avoid running tinfoil if you have some homebrew on your console, just for the petty of them.

that fight has been for so long time what now nobody knows the real cause of the brawl.

as almost all on the world the use of Goldleaf, AtmolXL, Tinfoil, DBI, etc. or any other installer is a matter of taste and you can choice the one best suit to you.

I personally do not like a piracy software which need you to pay. but you need some effort for others alternatives.

so is up to you.

 

[MikeTheKnight2016]

@impeeza -> what do you think caused the failure the first time I tried to install my nsp via mtp with dbi?

Should I attempt it again or use another app?
