Sphaira v1.0.0 EA2 - Mount creator + bug fixes!
🕑 Added 2025-09-14 14:42:34 +0000 UTCIn the example video, i show how you can:
Create a new mount.
Access it from the file browser and create a folder.
Create a backup of your game to the mount.
Restore the backup of the game from the mount.
Create a save back to the mount.
Of course, you can do much more. You can copy files to/from your sd card to the mount. You can even copy files across two different mounts!
You can combine a tool such as rclone to mount a cloud service, such as google drive or dropbox, and serve it as a webdav, and then connect to that using sphaira! This is what i personally do to create save backups.
Changelog:
Fix bug which would limit the number of mounts that can added to 10. New limit is 30. See here for more details.
Added the mount creator.
Rename the "Misc" option to "Menus" and re-order it so that it is at the top of the options, making it easier to access.
More descriptive error messages for file errors.
Disable mount timeout by default, as it may timeout if the server HDD is very slow. You can still manually set a timeout in the mount config, although this is not recommended!
The game menu is now updated whenever a game is installed (as shown in the video).
Option to override the MTP VID and PID. This is for advanced users only. See here for an example.
What's next?
The next version will include the option to dump games via MTP. There will be a MTP folder called "Games", clicking on it will show folders of all the games installed. Inside each folder will contain a NSP for each game content (Application, Update, DLC).
Once the above is done, the next plan is to add this FTP as well. Once added to FTP, it would be possible to connect two Nintendo Switches together over Sphaira's built-in FTP to share games.

I cannot succesfully mount my FTP server (knowing how to setup this in tinfoil, phones both local and remote with dns provider) I just shows empty no matter what I do.

Hi, sorry about that. What MTP client were you using, was it windows? Did it crash as soon as it finished installing, or did it crash when leaving the mtp menu?

Build v0.13.3 (9fe0044) crashes after an MTP installation, but the installed title can still be launched. I ran Sphaira via title override, i.e., in high memory mode.

Yeah, now I can see the example! However, not sure if I'm doing something wrong or the override is not working. I haven't played too much with it, putting kid to bed. Will play with it in a bit!
