Hacking Manually updating romfs.bin for backups

[Mat37]

Sorry but I don't have the octopath demo and Xenoblade is quite big.

Okay i'll try myself and tell you.

Be sure to use sdfiles version 4 or 5.

Be sure to use sdfiles version 4 or 5.

I have v5 i guess

This could maybe be done to an already existent romfs.bin with --baseromfs . Which means that we could swap out the update partitions of already updated games.

Tried with FE Warriors but it says failed to read file

Someone said it works with octopath prologue demo

It indeed works !! The game boots ! Thank you so much for saying me this, i wanted to play this game for a long time now !

 

[HoTsHoTz79]

Why do you want to update xenoblade ? It doesn't run with LayeredFS yet, does it ?

yea so as mentioned it does work... after the latest Atmosphere commit (one with Zelda fix) Xenoblade also started working

I can confirm both the BBB and HR releases work with Donor: Octopath Traveler Prologue demo

I was trying to see if i can push Japanese Voice DLC to the BBB (EN) release as the british english bugs me... and the HR (JP) release does not have option to change text/subs to english

Also @huma_dawii if you still plan on testing DLC on xenoblade... i was testing using other DLCs (rare blade etcs) because the Voice DLC i downloaded was corrupted so finding an alternate link (just FYI)

I can't find the DLC lol

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[huma_dawii]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

too many folders I can't even start understanding what I need

i'm trying once again.. im' able to decrypt/extract original xenoblade.nca file
but when i try to do the same with dlc.nca file, it says

"Error: section 0 is corrupted!

Note: cannot save BKTR section without base romfs."

so i set the baseromfs=romfs.bin

then i get
"Error: section 0 is corrupted!

Error: section 1 is corrupted!"

The key is probably wrong

 

[HoTsHoTz79]

yea thats where i'm having difficulty to confirm which key to use

is there a way to find out what the RIGHTS ID is for my dlc.nca?

when i hactool, i see the following:
Rights ID: 0100E950040388000000000000000003
XCI Explorer shows the same 100E95004038000 for xenoblade.xci... so i can confirm thats for the game iteslf and not the dlc

Currently trying to get Splatoon 2 dlc working. Xenoblade 2 is pretty hefty so a no go for now.

ok i went back to the source to donwload and realized all dlcs come with RIGHT ID... even the titlekeys were provided >.>

Now, using the Voice pack DLC (Rights ID 0100e950040390630000000000000003) i grabbed the titlekey and renamed to update.nca and tried the following:

hactool.exe -k keys.txt --basenca="xenoblade.nca" --section1="done\romfs.bin" --exefsdir="done\exefs" "update.nca" --titlekey=79da****************17acc

Result
Error: section 0 is corrupted!

Where do i go from here? :S

Try removing those ("" and the done\) bit

 

[HoTsHoTz79]

Try removing those ("" and the done\) bit

Same error... Error: section 0 is corrupted!

Input:
hactool.exe -k keys.txt --basenca=xenoblade.nca --section1=romfs.bin --exefsdir=exefs update.nca --titlekey=79da****************17acc

if i understand correctly, the above creates a new romfs.bin combining files from update.nca right?

so if i want to just extract the update.nca, whats the command for that?

hactool.exe -k keys.ini --titlekey=key --basenca="stock.nca" --section1="romfs.bin" --exefsdir="exefs" "update.nca"


that's the one I got working

The update nca has to be extracted along with the base game. I'm not sure what is wrong with your command...try this way: hactool.exe -k keys.txt --titlekey=79da****************17acc --basenca=xenoblade.nca --section1=romfs.bin --exefsdir=exefs update.nca

you are forgetting the quotes ""
hactool.exe -k keys.ini --titlekey=key --basenca="stock.nca" --section1="romfs.bin" --exefsdir="exefs" "update.nca"

 

[HoTsHoTz79]

you are forgetting the quotes ""
hactool.exe -k keys.ini --titlekey=key --basenca="stock.nca" --section1="romfs.bin" --exefsdir="exefs" "update.nca"

no errors this time and just said "DONE!"

only difference this time "keys.ini" and not "keys.txt"

the keys.ini i wasn't using since it has all the keys with comments, so it gives warning errors;

[WARN]: Failed to match key ";", (value "=======================")​

therefore i created a new keys.txt until i had no more errors ended with following;

master_key_00 = XXXX
master_key_01 = XXXX
master_key_02 = XXXX
master_key_03 = XXXX
master_key_04 = XXXX

header_key = XXXX
aes_kek_generation_source = XXXX
aes_key_generation_source = XXXX
key_area_key_application_source = XXXX​

2 Questions;

1. is my keys.txt incorrect with only those 9 keys listed?
2. now that i used keys.ini, and it didn't give error, was i supposed to see new files? because no new files were created and both the .nca files are not updated (i.e Date Modified: not updated to current time)

----
EDIT this is how my file structure looks like;
hactool.exe
keys.ini
keys.txt
4x .dll (for hactool)
update.nca 870 MB
xenoblade.nca 13.0 GB

----

Also my output;
hactool.exe -k keys.ini --basenca="xenoblade.nca" --section1="done\romfs.bin" --exefsdir="done\exefs" "update.nca" --titlekey=79######################ACC
