Homebrew Question XCI to NRO?

[Delton259]

Is there a way to turn the XCI into an NRO file?

 

[MHDestination]

No, and there will never be a way.

nro-files are binaries and xci cartridge dumps.

Let's compare it to a pc:
A nro is something like a single exe-file, while a xci is a whole harddrive (might contain several partitions, applications, datafiles...)

No, you're not going to pirate games. And you didn't just think of clever way to play pirated games, either. If it was possible it would be well-known already.

NSP=switch version of CIA

No, you're not going to pirate games.

Yes, people will do whatever they want and you don't have a say in it.

So many hypocrites... we all get free games when the time comes. End of discussion.

Oh, didn't realize that you could pirate games on the Switch right now. Why don't you take the time to read my whole message instead of nitpicking only what you want to read?

You can certainly dump them. (or get them off the internet!) Of course you can't launch them. Piracy is piracy even if you don't use your files.

Stop. Stop it. Seriously, your "baby"ing is the most annoying thing ever! You're like some really corny seller/advertiser.

Because I'm sure OP wants to have the cartridge dumps just to have them.

To be honest with you man, please don't say "baby"... that's seriously creeping me out...

 

[Draxzelex]

Not sure what's weirder here, the fact that OP is trying to convert a properly signed retail cartridge file into an improperly signed homebrew file or that some users have a problem with someone typing the word "baby"

 

[Delton259]

Oh okay... I was thinking of it as the same method used in G9mode.

What?
