Here is the version of 'not perfect but anyway' [tinfoil I use](https://cloud.mail.ru/public/DwbX/H8d2p3aYR). 
Ok, I'm almost sure that this version has bugs. I don't remember where I downloaded it. But it works for me somehow.. 

Let's rephrase, if you have working version of TinFoil DO NOT use this one.

## Requirements

JRE 8u60 or higher. See below.

## Usage
### Linux:

1. Install JRE/JDK 8u60 or higher (openJDK is good. Oracle's one is also good). JavaFX not needed, if you're interested (it's embedded).

2. `root # java -jar /path/to/NS-USBloader.jar`

### macOS

Double-click on downloaded .jar file. Follow instructions. Or see 'Linux' section.

Set 'Security & Privacy' settings if needed.

If you use different MacOS (not Mojave) - check release section for another JAR file.

### Windows: 

* Download Zadig: https://zadig.akeo.ie/
* Open tinfoil. Set 'Title Management' -> 'Usb install NSP'
* Connect NS to PC
* Open Zadig
* Click 'Options' and select 'List All Devices'
* Select NS in dropdown, select 'libusbK (v3.0.7.0)' (version may vary), click 'Install WCID Driver'
* Check that in device list of you system you have 'libusbK USB Devices' folder and your NS inside of it
* Download and install Java JRE (8+)
* 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`)
* Remember to have fun!

## Tips&tricks
### Linux: Add user to udev rules to use NS not-from-root-account
`root # vim /etc/udev/rules.d/99-NS.rules`

`SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="057e", ATTRS{idProduct}=="3000", GROUP="plugdev"`

`root # udevadm control --reload-rules && udevadm trigger`

## Known bugs
* Unable to interrupt transmission when libusb awaiting for read event (when user sent NSP list but didn't selected anything on NS).

## NOTES
Table 'Status' = 'Uploaded' does not means that file 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/GoldLeaf). (And they don't provide any feedback interfaces so I can't detect success/failure.)
