Homebrew RELEASE NCABuilder - build working, installable Switch NCAs, legally!

[M7L7NK7]

I've tested this:

Extracted an NCA file, and repacked with the NCA Builder. It installs, but it gives an error when running it.
(The NCA file installs and works just fine before the unpacking and repacking)
So something is still not right I guess....

Edit: I've extracted the NCA file using hactool with the following command:

hactool -x -y -k keys.dat --section0dir=NCA/section0 --section1dir=NCA/section1 --section2dir=NCA/section2 --exefsdir=NCA/exefs --romfsdir=NCA/romfs --titlekey=<TITLEKEY> <NCAFILE.nca>

What settings did you use with the builder?

See attached image.

I've also noticed that once it's been build, there is no way to unpack it again, since the titlekey is now different (?)
I've tried using the generated Bodykey that's on the output, but that didn't work. Kept saying

Invalid NCA header! Are keys correct?

This one looks very promising. Thank you.

Unfortunately my utility doesn't do rights id/titlekey crypto just yet, but it will extremely soon!
Give me about 2 hours or so, I'll hopefully have version 0.2 done by then.

Hows it coming along?

XCI to NSP convertion can gain progression from this app?

why would you through, installing ths nsp requires you have to have around twice the space avaible (one times fro the nsp file the other time for the content of the file) so xci are much more convientent for most non hb uses.

Maybe I dont have sx os?

well thats a good point. I assumed there would be a xci loader yet for non sx.

Any updates yet?

 

[Aldoria]

Any updates yet?

Not really

 

[M7L7NK7]

Why was this marked as Release if it doesn't work

 

[Woody601]

Wait, sorry I don't understand, but this you can install homebrew to the home menu like cias with FBi on the 3DS? Explain to me if I'm wrong lol

 

[M7L7NK7]

It doesn't work curently

 

[SimonMKWii]

It doesn't work curently

Well in all fairness it does build working NCAs:

(This is just a cosmetic modification of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker's control NCA, it doesn't actually load Baldi's Basics of course.)

 

[M7L7NK7]

Just when you said installable homebrew in the op it sounded like you could take emulators or whatever other nros and make an nca

So, no 0.2 yet?
