Updated to Version 0.3a - urgent bug fix because I accidentally completely broke the program.

New:
Official Discord support server!
Source code now available!


Well, in honour of Master_Key_01 and Master_Key_02's release, I present to you...
HACToolGUI!

It does everything you need to extract XCI, NCA and RomFS files, support for other formats coming soon.

Features:
Simple to use and easy to understand GUI
Built-in keylist manager (Bring your own keys)
Uses HACTool to extract XCI, NCA and RomFS files
Supports all keys
Choose to dump as plaintext NCA, RomFS or to extract the files to a folder
Tiny filesize; around 120KB decompressed
Portable, no installation required

Dependencies:
Requires the latest release of hactool.exe and all its .dll files in the same directory.
Get it from here.

Spoiler: Screenshots:

Complete v0.3 change list:

• Added PFS0 support! (Used in .nsp)
• Automatically fills in the textboxes with keydata from keys.dat when key manager is opened. (Also added a manual option)
• Drag-and-drop file support added for all extraction types
• Key manager button added to main screen
• Internet access no longer required for use; now you can check for updates by clicking the option
• Remembers last selected NCA extraction option
• Remembers previous directory used
• NCA extraction is disabled unless keys are filled and a key file is present
• Checks for incorrectly formatted keys.dat
• Quotes no longer required in directory names

Coming soon:

• Name change
• The hactool files will not be required, the code will be built into the program
• Key verification
• Key derivation, the usual stuff, but will also generate the master_key, package1_key and various others from a supplied keyblob, provided you have the wrapper key for the specific keyblob and the console-unique SBK and TSEC keys
• Bulk file extraction
• Support for all other hactool formats, including Rights ID-encrypted NCAs and SD card files
• Built-in CDN downloader, provide a private key and cert, then add the Title ID, it will get the latest version of the meta file, decrypt the NCA, read the cnmt, get the NCAID of each file and download the NCA of them from the Atum server (provided you have the keys)
• Various file type extractors (BFSAR, BFRES, BFGRP, SARC, SZS, Yaz0, etc.)
• Background music (optional)
• Themes (optional)
• More easter eggs

did you extract it from a xci file?
or dumped from your console?

I dump from my console with pegaswitch

Thanks for making the video!
I'm sure it will help people out.

It is only a test, when you improve the program and add other files like .istorage will make a complete tutorial if necessary, Thanks for your easy and friendly interface.

 

[pinkupi13]

this tool is great, but there needs to be a few things just suggestion-wise

batch convert ncas, the game i tried it with has tons of them and going through them individually is tedious, and also some way to make either into an istorage. That way data-mining you can get the proper names of the archives.

just my suggestions if possible.

I think this GUI's existence is highly unfortunate.

Is there any particular reason ? I mean was a GUI version planned for release soon from you and your team ?

Not sure how SciresM sees it, but the way I do, is that hactool is a pretty technical tool. If you don't understand how to use a command line, you very likely have no use for hactool. The way I see it, a GUI for this is kinda pointless.

What can I do to make it better?

Purged

moderators pls

Don't quote the spam, and don't bump it like that. Report it and move on

 

[Imancol]

Maybe SciresM does not like that they touch their codes for modifications and facilitate piracy. In any case, everyone expects not only to extract Files from the Switch, but to inject them and run the code without the need for certification, and that is only possible with CFW.

i got to agree with @SciresM this gui is just a Piracy Pusher , if you dont know how to use Hactool with CMD simply dont use it at all.

since 95% of the people here dont need it anyway

Nice logic:

"If you dont know how to drive a car don't get in one at all you should walk instead."

Me: "GUI isn't needed for programs like this because it facilitates piracy."

This tool appears to be missing some key sources.

From a dev point of view surely it is but a dev should not care about those not-so-dev utils; gbatemp is a big window for devs work and if they decide to put it here they accept the fact that 99% of the registered users are... well... non-devs (to be polite ) so "the fundamental answer to the question" is not "42" in this case but it is "let's hack without caring about common users"
