## What it is
Awoo Installer is a Nintendo Switch homebrew application for installing NSP, NSZ, XCI, and XCZ game files from SD card, USB, LAN, or the internet. It verifies NCAs by header signature and manages signature patches, with a graphical interface built on Plutonium.

## Use cases
- install nsp files on nintendo switch from sd card
- install xci games over usb to switch
- install nsz files over lan or network
- install switch games from a url or google drive
- verify nca signatures before installing switch titles
- manage signature patches on a hacked switch
- install split nsp files from sd card

## When to choose
- you want a simple, reliable free-software installer for Switch game files
- you need to install titles from SD, USB, LAN, or remote URLs
- you want built-in NCA signature verification and signature patch management

## When to avoid
- you need ticket, title, or user account management - use Goldleaf instead
- you want a tool for a stock (non-homebrew) Nintendo Switch
- you need to dump or convert game files rather than install them
