ns-usbloader VS openmtp

Only thing going on the SD card is Atmosphere and Hekate take the content out of the folders and drop it onto the root of the SD card. Tegra RCM GUI is a Windows app, won't work with Linux, it just injects a payload that's needed to boot the system if it's shut off, can use this app with Linux https://github.com/developersu/ns-usbloader

wget https://github.com/developersu/ns-usbloader/releases/download/v7.0/ns-usbloader-7.0.jar

I know most people here swear by DBI but I have never had it work for me. I used awoo https://github.com/Huntereb/Awoo-Installer on my switch and nsusbloader https://github.com/developersu/ns-usbloader on my PC and they have worked flawlessly for installing all my backups from my computer's HDD. If DBI is giving you trouble maybe try a different installer?

ns-usbloader is your friend. https://github.com/developersu/ns-usbloader/releases/tag/v7.0 Works with all OS

Update: Am now using the Awoo method to install wirelessly with NS-loader on PC and its progressing the install well over 40 percent so far. Maybe the problem was with DBI being on applet mode? I cant remember if that was my mistake earlier. I'll let you know if that XCI ended up legit or not.

That's kind of a broad question. Is the switch already modified and on a recent firmware version? Updating both the software you use for the hacked Switch (like Atmosphere) and updating your firmware are the first things that need to be done. Then it's a matter of installing the game in a way that works for you. Personally I used this Switch app called Awoo combined with NS-USBloader on my PC to easily transfer and install the game over my home connection since I couldn't copy a file that large onto my microSD.

There's no shop but you can use awoo with ns-usbloader

I used this program: https://github.com/ganeshrvel/openmtp which allowed me to drag and drop files

For those on MacOS, you can use a free tool called OpenMTP to do any type of file transfer from your MacOS to Xreal Beam. Supports multiple transfer of APK files. Feel free to give this a try if you prefer downloading all your APK packages to your Mac and transferring them in one go to your Beam. Have fun!

TL;DR - Uninstall Android File Transfer (software hasn't seen an update since 2018), and switch to OpenMTP.

That said, Google's "Android File Transfer" app is not the only app which supports MTP on MacOS. People say good things about OpenMTP but I don't have personal experience with it: https://openmtp.ganeshrvel.com/

I'm using VLC. To transfer the files on to the device I use OpenMTP.

For media, you will need to transfer stuff on an intermediate device via mtp. For Mac you have open mtp https://openmtp.ganeshrvel.com. Linux should support this natively. No idea for Windows.

OpenMTP file transfers for MacOS lovers with Android phones :)
