Awoo is as dead as SX OS - I posted it in the other thread too but here's the DBI link again https://github.com/rashevskyv/dbi/releases

I know that DBI are good, but... it's closed source...

I didn't understand why people make homebrew and didn't share the sourcecode...

Only for it I didn't use DBI... didn't trust on homemade private software xD

The TinWoo fork has been updated recently. You could either use that or port the updates to Awoo.

I still recommend DBI these days.

Also note, that Tinwoo does not support block compressed NSZ and XCZ.

There are two compression methods for nsz/xcz, block and solid.
Yours must be solid if they're working fine.

You can read the differences between the two compression methods on the nsz github if you're interested:

So, basically, I can install this and not bother myself with tinfoil at all? Or are these completely different tools?

honestly, i would use dbi installer. its easy to use, no extra tools needed (awoo still needs ns-usbloader to send game data to switch. this also hasn't been updated in forever for support

You can if you put sd card in pc this is fastest method. you can use fptd classic on switch and transfer files via fptd as well.
Fptd may be slower then just turning off switch and using SD card to a pc to tranfer files to SD card.

I prefer to use usb since eject, insert, eject, insert your micro sd card a lot of time can eventually cause problem and since I can't open my switch (stripped screws), I would be f*cked.

And because I don't want my emunand to connect to internet, I can't use fptd as well

Listen, I know this sounds very stupid and dumb, but why can't the network install option have something like I dunno, an FTP and/or SMB client for those of us with our own home server? If I could actually code, I'd add it myself, but I can't sadly. I just don't think it's fair that there's always been FTP server apps for homebrewed Nintendo consoles since the Wii, but never any clients for them.

Awoo is an open source project - just fork and ad what you want. If you can not then pay money to someone who can.

When I try to use Awoo Launcher it just brings me back to the homebrew menu.

There’s not too much to installing Awoo. You simply drop the Awoo-Installer directory inside the zip into the /switch/ directory on your SD card and you’re all set. This is starting to look like something bigger than difficulty with installers.

You can do that with tinwoo already just with a simple php file using your NAS or online http server.
