Not sure what that has to do with lockpick, but you can't just install the DLC and expect it to work. You also have to download and install the corresponding game updates which is what the game is trying to download.
oh didnt know that. Tried searching for a tutorial on this topic but couldnt find any good. Would you be kind enough to point me at a right direction?

Update 1.1 is out! Download here: https://github.com/shchmue/Lockpick/releases/tag/v1.1
  • Changed titlekey dump methodology
    • No longer crashes sysmodule, reboot no longer needed
    • Queries ES to verify ticket list is accurate
    • May take slightly longer than before on systems with hundreds of tickets
  • Now dumps SD seed
  • Reorganized and clarified UI text
    • Now indicates if no titles are installed to dump titlekeys from
  • Swapped C++ stream functions for C I/O to reclaim some speed and binary size
  • Tightened up dependencies

I do have to ask - Seeing that the whole LGBT thing (no matter what you believe, and my opinion is just as unimportant) clearly sparked a lot of heat on both sides, I'd recommend next time to just leave any sort of political/idealogical stuff out of software. I understand that LGBT people have been important in your life, but they were important because of who they were, not who they liked, yes?

It just seems like it causes a lot of trouble for something that you don't really need to shout about or force on people.

Anyhow, that's just my two cents. This is awesome work - Keep it up!

is that using version 1.1 release from GitHub or did you compile it yourself?

edit: oh and are your hbloader and hbmenu up to date?

Pushed a fix for firmware version 1.0.0, nothing different otherwise
Lockpick no longer tries to dump SD seed or ES keys on 1.0.0 as they're not available until firmware 2.0.0. The ES search takes several seconds when it fails to find the keys so it slowed the program down quite a bit before the fix.

@shchmue Is it actually technically possible to dump the required data directly via a homebrew tool, so that it is no longer necessary to do that via Hekate? So just one tool for generating the keys?

I am using the 1.1 GitHub release. Both HBloader and HBmenu are up to date.
Are you running any custom kip sysmodules, qlaunch overrides or launching hbmenu with something other than Album or anything else custom? If so can you try without?

I researched this pretty extensively in the making of Lockpick and unfortunately it can't be done due to security features of the Switch. The only workarounds are via payload and Hekate is the cleanest one short of dumping all the keys by payload, which would be ideal, but I haven't looked into it yet. It would also be much slower and there's basically no way around that.
