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

This homebrew was intended to download specially NSPs & XCI. But it can be used to download any file.

Note: The author takes no responsibility if it is used inappropriately or is damaging your console. Use at your own risk.

Features

  • Add possibility to read a custom URL from sdmc:/switch/nXDownload/input.txt.
  • Add possibility to read multiple URL from input.txt.
  • Add support for plain URL's (meaning writing URL directly to the Switch).
  • Add support for saving plain URL's (meaning written URL will be saved in a different file temporaly until new written URL is encountered).

User guide

Create a file .txt (from any device).

Add few lines with links with formatted arguments

  • i.e.<title-of-game/desciption> = <download/link/url>
  • 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!

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

Note

  • When downloading large files, is better to put your Switch in Dock mode so you will not risk to:
  • 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.
  • This project is under GPL-3 License.
  • Use command line pacman -S switch-curl inside Msys2 to be able to compile this homebrew.
