Nut is a multi-purpose utility to organize, manage, and install Nintendo Switch files (NSP, NSZ, XCI, XCZ). It has the ability to act as a USB and network server for Tinfoil.
Installation
Windows users:
- Download tinfoil_driver.exe and nut.exe from the release page.
- Install the drivers by running the tinfoil_driver.exe in the previous step.
- Run nut.exe. You should be presented with a GUI as shown in the picture.
- Install the latest version of Tinfoil and open it on the Switch, connect to your PC with either a USB cable, or set up a nut server location using the information displayed in nut server.
Setup guide for UNIX user can be found here.
User guide
Buttons
- Scan - Populates file list.
- Organize Files - Moves files on disk to match the format specified in the configuration.
- Pull - Gets new files that match your filters from the remote locations (see configuration).
- Update TitleDB - Force-reloads the latest title database.
- Decompress NSZ - For any NSZ.XCZ files found, uncompresses them to NSP/XCI.
- Compress NSP - For any NSP/XCI files found, compresses them to NSZ/XCZ CPU INTENSIVE.
- Setup GDrive OAuth - See below.
Configuration
The GUI has the ability to set the most common configuration options, see the below images. You can also create a custom configuration by creating conf/nut.conf. The format should mirror nut.default.conf.
The IP/Port/User/Password are the information needed to login to the NUT server. To the right of those, you can also see a USB Status indicator, indicating whether a Tinfoil client is connected via USB with the server.
THe body shows a table containing a list of files that were detected by NUT from the scanned paths. It shows the title count, file name, title ID, title type and title size for each scanned file.
The footer shows the progress information of any file that is currently being downloaded from the server.
Google Drive Integration
NUT has the ability to interact with Google Drive. For this to work, you will need to download a credentials.json, using the guide found here. Once you have this file placed either in NUT's root or conf directory, click the Setup GDrive OAuth button in the GUI and follow the prompts.
You will be able to access your GDrive through Tinfoil via the gdrive:/ protocol after copying credentials.json and token.json to /switch/tinfoil on your microSD card. (This is automatically done if you connect Tinfoil to nut)

v2.5 2019/12/13
- Changed gdrive api permissions from read only to full so tinfoil can write to the gdrive.
v2.4 2019/11/18

v2.1 2019/09/12
- Nut will authenticate with gdrive if you create a gdrive application, and place its credentials.json file either in nut's root directory, or in the conf directory. You can generate / download credentials.json from https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/quickstart/go
- Once this is set up, you can access your gdrive through tinfoil, by using either the usbfs, nutfs, or gdrive protocol. Accessing gdrive while connected to nut will download the credentials so further gdrive authentication will not need to be tethered to Nut.
