Gamecard-Installer-NX

A way to install your gamecards directly to the switch!

How to use

Installing

Download the latest release and unzip the contents to the root of the sd card.

This should result in a folder struct like this /switch/gamecard_installer/gamecard_installer.nro.

Multi gamecards

Some gamecards have multiple games inside. An example of this is the Child of Light & Valiant Hearts gamecard.

These can still be installed. Pressing L or R will allow you to cycle through the games on the gamecard.

Playing music

This app can play music!

Simply drop any .mp3 files into /switch/gamecard_installer/.

You can have the .mp3 in folders if you prefer, the app will scan recursively. E.g. /switch/gamecard_installer/music/song.mp3.

Here's a great site for high quality video game music.
