NS-USBloader is a PC-side **[Adubbz/TinFoil](https://github.com/Adubbz/Tinfoil/)** (version 0.2.1; USB and Network) and **GoldLeaf** (USB) NSP installer. Replacement for default **usb_install_pc.py**, **remote_install_pc.py***(never ever use this. even if you brave. no idea why it works.)* and **GoldTree**.
* Get this application (JAR file) double-click on on it (alternatively open 'cmd', go to place where jar located and execute via `java -jar thisAppName.jar`)
The first thing you should do it install TinFoil ([Adubbz](https://github.com/Adubbz/Tinfoil/)) or GoldLeaf ([XorTroll](https://github.com/XorTroll/Goldleaf)) on your NS.
Take a look on app, find where is the option to install from USB and/or Network. Maybe [this article](https://developersu.blogspot.com/2019/02/ns-usbloader-en.html) will be helpful.
At the top of you selecting from drop-down application and protocol that you're going to use. For GoldLeaf only USB is available. Lamp icon stands for switching themes (light or dark).
Then you may drag-n-drop folder with NSPs OR files to application or use 'Select NSP files' button. Multiple selection for files available. Click it again and select files from another folder it you want, it will be added into the table.
There you can select checkbox for files that will be send to application (TF/GL). ~~Since GoldLeaf allow you only one file transmission per time, only one file is available for selection.~~
Also you can use space to select/un-select files and 'delete' button for deleting. By right-mouse-click you can see context menu where you can delete one OR all items from the table.
For GoldLeaf v0.6.1 and NS-USBloader v0.6 (and higher) you will have to use 'Explore content' -> 'Remote PC (via USB)' You will see two drives HOME:/ and VIRT:/. First drive is pointing to your home directory. Second one is reflection of what you've added to table (first application tab). Also VIRT:/ drive have limited functionality in comparison to HOME:/. E.g. you can't write files to this drive since it's not a drive. But don't worry, it won't make any impact on GoldLeaf or your NS if you try.
Also, for GoldLeaf write files (from NS to PC): You have to 'Stop execution' properly before accessing files transferred from GL. Usually you have to wait 5sec or less. It will guarantee that your files properly written to PC.
## NOTE: NS-USBloader v0.6 doesn't support writing files from NS to PC if file size is greater than 8mb
Here you can configure settings for network file transmission. Usually you shouldn't change anything. But it you're cool hacker, go ahead! The most interesting option here is 'Don't serve requests'. Architecture of the TinFoil's NET part is working interesting way. When you select in TF network NSP transfer, application will wait at port 2000 for the information about where should it take files from. Like '192.168.1.5:6060/my file.nsp'. Usually NS-USBloader serves requests by implementing simplified HTTP server and bringing it up and so on. But if this option selected, you can define path to remote location of the files. For example if you set in settings '192.168.4.2:80/ROMS/NS/' and add in table file 'my file.nsp' then NS-USBloader will simply tell TinFoil "Hey, go take files from '192.168.4.2:80/ROMS/NS/my%20file.nsp' ". Of course you have to bring '192.168.4.2' host up and make file accessible from such address (just go install nginx). As I said, this feature is interesting, but I guess won't be popular.
Because there is HTTP server inside of application. It can't determine the moment when all transmissions finishes (unless they failed). So you have to look on your NS screen and 'Interrupt' it once done.
* Unable to interrupt transmission when using TinFoil (when user sent NSP list but didn't select anything on NS). Sometimes this issue also appears when network transmission started and nothing received from NS.
'Status' = 'Uploaded' that appears in the table does not mean that file has been installed. It means that it has been sent to NS without any issues! That's what this app about.
Handling successful/failed installation is a purpose of the other side application: TinFoil or GoldLeaf. And they don't provide any feedback interfaces so I can't detect success/failure.
usb4java since NS-USBloader-v0.2.3 switched to 1.2.0 instead of 1.3.0. This should not impact anyone except users of macOS High Sierra (and Sierra, and El Capitan) where previous versions of NS-USBloader didn't work.
