Hello guys, this is my first post here! I just got a MIG Switch card out of curiosity and I was tinkering with it. For those who don't know, it's used by placing XCI dumps as well as other game specific bin files in the sd card of the MIG Switch, and are obtained from the original cartridge by using an app like nxdumptool. Two of these bin files are mandatory to get the game to boot: Initial Data.bin and Certificate.bin. They stay the same for every cartridge of a specific game. Now, if you want to use an XCI dump from a shady website it's impossible to get it to work without those files. By using the Certificate.bin from another game it has no problem, but this does not count for the Initial Data.bin. So I looked for a way to obtain this Initial Data from an XCI file and read a bit of the XCI file documentation from switchbrew dot org. Here's what I understood so far: The Switch checks if the cartridge is valid by doing a challenge–response authentication on the Initial Data. The Package ID is contained both on the XCI and the Initial Data, on positions 0x110 and 0x0 respectively. The Initial Data hash is on the XCI at position 0x160. It is calculated by doing a SHA-256 hash on the full Initial Data content. So I was wondering, is there a way to to construct a functional Initial Data file starting from an XCI dump? I also tried a reverse approach by editing the Package ID in the Initial Data from another game, generating the Initial Data hash and putting it in the XCI file but is not enough to get the Switch believe it's a real game. Sorry if this may seem stupid but let me know what you think.

Hi everyone. I was just wondering if anyone knows the difference between the USA and ASIA releases of Super Cane Magic Zero. The size difference is pretty big. The ASIA release came out before the USA release. The ASIA and USA base games are the same size, 1.86GB, so I would assume they are the exact same content. But what I want to know is what is update 1.0.3 that's only available for the ASIA release? I looked online and found some patch notes Here, such as a new character, new enemies, new arena, etc. The update is a total of 1.10GB, so obviously this content is not included in the USA release. So I'm hoping someone can enlighten me on the differences, because it doesn't even make sense why they would re-release the game for USA when the ASIA release already includes English language. Are they waiting to push an update out for the US release? I can't find anything online about the different regions.
