Hey there, thanks for the tools. Is there a way to disable the verification of NSZ? It freezes for me on 2.5 all the time and I have to restart the whole GUI.

I have made one last MOD for ryjin. This modded version skips the file checks at the beginning of each process that allows faster compression especially when dealing with large number of files.
Take note however of the following:
1. This will not check if you have a bad nsp or nsz so don't assume it will fix your problem. Always use working nsp or nsz during convertion. If your file is busted it's not the fault of the converter
2. This will definitely overwrite anything inside the folder that has already been converted if you plan to reconvert them.

Great work. Got most of my stuff converted on my hard drive thanks to the updates you guys have been working on. Kudos!
However in addition to most of my NSPs being converted to NSZ, I also have some NSX files. I'm not sure what these are for and can't find any info on them.

NSX is an NSP equivalent file format generated by the NUT CDN downloader if you don't provide it with the titlekey required for the game you downloaded. Without somehow obtaining and applying the titlekey to your NSX using NUT, CDN downloads are completely useless as you don't have the titlekey required to decrypt it. I highly recommend against using NUT CDN downloader even if you somehow obtained the NUT CDN downloader patches for latest firmware as without much knowledge you will almost definitely get banned. The fact that you need the titlekeys usually requires you to buy the game anyways and if you have to buy the game it’s much safer to just download and dump it. NSX obviously can't be compressed as the large NCA files can't be decrypted without the titlekeys. You can dump titlekeys from your console using Lockpick and from NSPs using latest nsZip commit (not latest release) under Tools – I will probably add this feature to NSZ in the next few days.

you mean the comressed NSZ files can be installed on ur switch with TINSON??!Splatoon 2 NSP: 3281 MB
Splatoon 2 NSZ: 2600 MB
Not bad. Repacking Breath of the Wild now.
And when I'm home I can finally test whether NSZ files can be easily installed with the amazing Tinson + Tinfoil duo.
Yes. Put them in a Google Drive, share the link, paste it to your Tinson profile, setup your Tinson url in Tinfoil's file browser and have fun.
Block compression technically supports playing compressed games in the future
Does that mean play the block compressed nsz file without installing it?
--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------
Could Ryjin work recursively and process all the files in sub folders?
Or I have to write script to call nsz itself if I want to do that?
Ryjin should be a easy to use front end for nsz right? if I call nsz directly there should be no difference for the results?

Just use https://github.com/nicoboss/nsz for MacOS. A GUI version of nsz will be released later today.
Block compressed games can technically be played without installing just nobody has implemented a sysmodule to do so yet. On February nsz 4.0 is planned to be released which is planned to support NSZ/XCZ mounting at least for PC so you can play them inside emulator without decompressing. For the sysmodule I guess it's just a question of time until somebody is willing to create and maintain one.
Just use the nsz script if you feel comfortable using command line arguments. Ryjin is just a wrapper around nsz for easy use. nsz 3.0 with its GUI which will be released later today will make Ryjin kind of obsolete in my opinion. To recursively process games, use nsz portable like:
nsz.exe -C pathToYourGames --level 22

hi boss,
I used this for compressing all .nsp files in current folder and subfolders
forfiles /s /m *.nsp /c "cmd /c D:\nsz\nsz.exe -C --level 18 --block --threads 4 @path"
and used this for decompressing
forfiles /s /m *.nsz /c "cmd /c D:\nsz\nsz.exe -D --threads 4 @path"
Works very well.
However the verify part doesn't seem to work , stuck at 99% for ages

Why does compressing work for some NSPs and not others? I keep getting multiple error outs saying the file is in use and that maybe keys.txt is outdated. But other files compress fine. I'm only compressing as Solid.
If you aren’t using block compression your issue is caused by https://github.com/nicoboss/nsz/issues/31 and further discussed here https://github.com/nicoboss/nsz/issues/39. Basically, it's just a visual bug of the process bar caused by multithreaded solid compression. For block compression I have no idea. If that's the case please report a game where you experience this issue and let me know if it will eventually complete or if it is stuck forever.
Update to latest firmware and dump your prod.keys using https://github.com/shchmue/Lockpick_RCM/releases. Games encrypted with keys for a higher firmware then inside your provided prod.keys/keys.txt can't be decrypted which is required to compress them.
Oh yes of course. Many thanks.
EDIT: Well, so I don't recall how to get a new keys.txt with this method. I have prod.keys, title.keys, and device.keys. The old keys.py script doesn't seem to work for newer firmware nor is it supposed to. So how do I generate a new keys.txt? Is it just a copy/pasted combination from the contents of the aforementioned .keys files?

So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+2 -

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
