Does this app support Nintendo Switch?
I don't have a switch, but according to https://www.howtogeek.com/703315/how-to-copy-nintendo-switch-screenshots-to-a-mac-over-usb/ it uses MTP, so I was wondering if it works.
Android File Transfer allows to connect the Switch to macOS, but unfortunately it doesn’t work for me using Open MTP. :(
I’m on Big Sur + last Open MTP version.
@meduzen I could take a look.
Could you download the OpenMTP-3.0 public beta version from here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wpSlkGWZKe4-nRYcdJaPVA3Y6kOBMTsO/view?usp=sharing and check if the Switch works?
In case if it doesn't work then send me the error log by going to Help menu -> Report Bugs -> Email error logs -> Attach the log file to the email.
Cheers
@meduzen the information in the debug log is too understand what's going on. I shall send you another app file later. Do send me a debug log using that as well.
Hey @meduzen, I got the error log. Looks like MTP kernel isn't able to detect the Switch device. I would like to add the support for the Switch device but unfortunately I don't have a device with me.
If you are willing to contribute to the MTP kernel then please checkout https://github.com/ganeshrvel/go-mtpx/ and https://github.com/ganeshrvel/go-mtpfs/ . I am willing to extend my support to get the devices working on OpenMTP.
Found this thread when searching for a mtp client for Switch, so just an update.
On the custom firmware/jailbreak side of Switch, it works. I've used openMTP 3.1.5 in conjunction with https://github.com/retronx-team/mtp-server-nx and it was usable.
Very slow (most of times less than 1mb/sec, but it's odd, some files go up to 5mb/sec sometimes), but still, works for small transfers. I tested with a big amount of files and in 1 hour transferring, only transferred around 600MB.
Now, on the official firmware, haven't tested.
3.1.15 doesn't work with the native MTP server of the Switch though sadly
Android FIle Transfer app works though
Not working with a stock Nintendo firmware on 3.2.0-beta.3. The Switch says it's connected to the computer; as soon as I tell OpenMTP to refresh the MTP side of the app, the Switch says it's been disconnected.
I've just emailed the logs through.
not working with DBI (homebrew file transfer application) on a switch with Atmosphere CFW either, for what its worth

It worked for me when I switched the MTP mode to Legacy but then it's extremely slow.
Encountering this issue as well. Logs emailed.
