Install sources

The main menu is a grid - pick where your files come from. Same install flow for all of them.

• SD card

  Copy NSP, NSZ, XCI, or XCZ to your microSD, browse, select, press + to install. Can delete originals after.

• LAN / Internet

  TCP listener on port 2000 while net install is open. NS-USBloader (Tinfoil mode), direct URL, or Google Drive file ID. Switch IP shown on screen.

• eShop

  HTTP shop on a LAN or internet server (port 8465 by default). Sections, local search, update/DLC prompts, icon cache. API reference.

• USB (NS-USBloader)

  Install over USB from a PC. Works, but can be finicky depending on your setup - LAN is often easier.

• USB SSD / HDD

  Plug in an external drive. FAT, NTFS, and EXT via libusbhsfs. Same file picker as SD.

• MTP

  PC sees an MTP folder over USB. Drop files there, they install. Pick SD or internal storage as target first.

• Save backup

  Upload all local saves for one user to your shop server, with a version note. Needs a compatible AeroFoil backend.

• Offline DB

  Title names and icons from offline_db/ on the SD card. Auto-check against CyberFoil-DB manifest on startup when online.

• Settings

  NCA verification, boost mode, language, shop profiles, Tinfoil mode, offline DB updates, auto-update - main grid → Settings.
