nXDownload

Download any file directly inside sdmc:/ on your Nintendo Switch

This homebrew was intended to download specially NSPs & XCI without problems. But it can download any file (really)! sort of tool downloader

Main Features!

What you see is heavily based on printf() for making this at least readable & enjoyable in matrix world! :D

So, whatever you don't like, please report it!

Write URLs from the Switch!

Select one of the links you injected!

Some more images!

This tool is pretty basic:

1. Create a file .txt (from any device)

2. Add few lines with links with formatted arguments

- i.e.<title-of-game/desciption> = <download/link/url_without_HTTPS>

- Files are downloaded by default to sdmc:/switch/nXDownload/

- Remember that this tool requires Direct Download Links till i find someway to parse the download link from the webpage!

- File-sharing websites compatible with my tool are Mediafire, Uptobox, 1fichier, and any website that uses HTTP protocol!

3. Power on your Switch, and select what file to download!

NOTE:

• When dowloading BIG files, is better to put your Switch in Dock mode so you will not risk to:

  • Burn your pixels!
  • No need to be afraid if the battery is low.

• This project is based on libcurl.

• This project changes the heap size, to get the software Keyboard feature (can have memory issues). In future, this could change.

• It doesn't support HTTPS protocol (meaning that once mbedtls library is officially ported to libnx we then can use SSL encyption)

• This project is under GPL-3 License.

• use command line pacman -S switch-curl inside Msys2 to be able to compile this homebrew.

• I do not take any responsibility if it is used inappropriately or is damaging your console.

⭐ Special thanks to (this is not in order):

• Every Nintendo Switch warez scene community which are hosting & releasing free NSPs and XCIs!
