Can we get an option to mount the sd card through usb?
Sorta like how Vitashell works on the Vita and all you would have to do is go into albums/options and enable it and plug your switch into pc and boom you can access the SD card.


Would be way better and faster than using FTP.


thanks!

Use a USB C card reader. I have been using and it works great.

I think you misunderstood what the OP wanted. He wants to be able to hook up his switch to a computer through USB and be able to read and write on the microsd card that's inside the switch. I too want this feature because ftp is slow and unstable and this way would be much more seamless and faster.

If you are going to bring your switch this close to the PC anyway, why not just pop the SD card out and do your reads/writes and put it back in?

That's what I do.

I get the feature request, but I'm not sure how this could be properly implemented. I will forward it on.

Well yeah that's what I do, I pop it out and hook it up with my microsd card reader to my laptop. It's actually kinda of a hassle for people like me that has a protective/grip case. I always have to completely shut off the switch to ensure the microsd doesn't get corrupted when removing it. I'm worried that if I remove it while the switch is on can cause corruption due to improper removal. Then next I have to remove my grip case because it completely covers the microsd card slot, and then I take out the microsd and hook it up to my laptop to transfer files. Being able to just mount the microsd while it's inside the switch through USB to the computer would eliminate all that hassle.

You can use Tegrarcm, you still gonna need to shut off and boot in rcm mode but you won't need to remove the sdcard.

TegraRCMGUI injects memloader which does allow mounting the SD card and even the eMMC but the transfer rate is abysmal, likely due to the fact that some more advanced features are only available while booted into the firmware, something to do with power management I believe.

It'd be much better if SX OS supported mounting the SD card while booted as transfer rates would be much higher.
