Okay, but think about this:
It's bad to be linked with making backup tools.
Obviously - I've mentioned that in the tweets as well.

The original intent of Hekate or Atmosphere was NEVER to be able to be used as a backup loader.
And I'm pretty sure they are going to look (or perhaps are already looking) into ways to prevent that from happening through LayeredFS (hash comparison perhaps? I'm not an expert on this.)

Not only is it bad to be linked with backup tools, but it's already sad to see that people are doing these assumptions...

I cannot extract the NCA properly, it seems that I am missing master keys 1, 2, and 3. I am looking through the key dump I did with hactool and I only see _00 and _04. I get Section 0 corrupted as the error as well. For reference, I am on 5.1.0. Anyone know what the deal is?

I extracted the nca from the secure folder. When I try to run the automated program, it just creates an empty target titled id folder. Hactool appears for a moment, but literally nothing happens. In fact, I can't even run hactool independantly. It just opens and closes. and it's from the official release page?

You don't gotta repeat yourself every 20 minutes.

Hactool doesn't have a gui, you run it from the command line.

The SX isn't plug and play... it changes your system, especially if you enable auto-rcm.

That isn't what plug and play means at all.

The term is often used in the context of automatically installing driver software for an expansion card, which by definition changes your system.

Plug and Play literally means you can plug it in and play it. A flashcart is plug and play and does not tamper with the device at all. The SX is far from plug and play.
