Official RetroNX NSP:
Attention: This causes a active ban risk! Don't use this if you are paranoid!
-snip-
Note: This build is maybe the first build that's completely legal!
It contains to copyrighted files: No tickets. Its not encrypted. No SDK files.
It only has a hash derived of a key and the rights id.
This does not give the key away and is perfectly acceptable.
The Logo Partition files, despite their names are replaced and are not copyrighted in any way!
If a mod has questions, they can PM me freely.

Hey m4xw.
I've checked your NSP and I have to say: nope, that's not a completely legal NSP.
How did you rebuild the NCAs (especially the Program nca and the cmnt nca)?
There's no legal Tool that allows to do that.
Even the NSP tells me that this NSP was built with AuthoringTool (5_3_0:4_0_6645_40334).
The NSP and the Files (NCAs) in it are looking exactly the same like these I build with the March 2018 SDK which got leaked.
Even the NCA says it's made with the 5.3.0 SDK (march2018)
+ there's no way you're able to rebuild all the NCAs with a 100% perfect
cmnt.xml (it's even a valid Digest).
Don't say, your NSP is legal, because it isn't.
Even if you stripped the Logo out of it and replaced it, you've still used the Authoringtool to build this NSP.

Heh i know that. The tools to build it doesnt matter. The file itself does not contain copyrighted material, which is what matters.
>cmnt.xml (it's even a valid Digest).
Again this is not copyrighted. It does not contain the key.
Don't think I missed something in my RE

Btw you dont seem to use the right file.
Mine does not contain authoringtoolinfo
Nor its the right keygeneration algo I use.

Afaik GBATemp doesn't allow this kind of NSPs.
If they allow that, it's definitely not the first "legal" nsp.
The Build made by me (Cellenseres) are also legal in that case. I'm using a custom Logo + StartupMovie.gif and stripped everything "copyrighted" from it.
Let's see what the mods say
I mean u didnt even analyze the right NSP. This is the only one I have. Only contains open source code and no crypto keys, only 1 way hashes
For reference:
I took care to verify all copyrighted material is out, other stuff consists out of non copyrighted metadata.
Edit: btw I didn't use your tools. Custom patches left and right
As far as i remember, this forum does not allow any kind of copyright material, a .nsp made with copyrighted tools, is indeed copyright material.
This has been an issue with several tools here on the past.
I might be wrong, but better be safe.

I've used the download from here:
-snip-
But hey, you're free to change the NSP after seeing the mistake.
I downloaded this NSP from your Link
But still it doesn't matter.
You still used the AuthoringTool to Build the NSP, which doesn't make it "legal".
I've discussed this with a Mod already, otherwise you would see some of my custom NSPs here already.
It's not like I build custom NSPs for almost two months already, heh?

It is actually not.
The problem was all the releases contained copyrighted material. The metadata themselves are not copyrighted (else every npdm would be a infriction) nor is any crypto embedded.

Its literally the same link. Want me to show you the logs? Because I smell malicious intend.I've used the download from here:

Dude, I don't want to be malicious in any way.
Even if the NSP you can download there is another one, my point is still valid.
You've built your NSP with the AuthoringTool, which is not legal.
Because I've used the AuthoringTool for my custom NSPs (custom Logo, custom, not copyrighted content), I wasn't allowed to post it on GBATemp. But you are? That's not fair.
So if you find a way to Build a NSP with SDK-Free NCAs, I'm fine with that.
But since it's built with the AuthoringTool, it isn't okay.
Your releases have had copyrighted nso's.
You repacked a existing game.
> You've built your NSP with the AuthoringTool, which is not legal.
If you are not licensed to use them, sure.
> But since it's built with the AuthoringTool, it isn't okay.
Again. Using authoring tool doesnt mean the resulting file is copyrighted.
It's only copyrighted if you still bundle copyrighted material.
The Movie Player isn't the only thing I've done so far, y'know.
Ofc the Movie Player is something I won't release here.
>> You've built your NSP with the AuthoringTool, which is not legal.
> If you are not licensed to use them, sure.
I am licensed. So if you are, too, you should know, that it doesn't make it legal to build and publish HOMEBREW with it.
Are you really telling me because you're "licensed", you're allowed to post it here? Ofc not.
>> But since it's built with the AuthoringTool, it isn't okay.
>Again. Using authoring tool doesnt mean the resulting file is copyrighted.
Ohhhhh, ofc it matters.
Btw. there's still evidence you used the SDK, just check your files in HexEditor:
>So if you are, too, you should know, that it doesn't make it legal to build and publish HOMEBREW with it.
>Are you really telling me because you're "licensed", you're allowed to post it here? Ofc not.
I am not saying anything
>Ohhhhh, ofc it matters.
If the final result contains copyrighted material yes.
Metadata are not copyrighted, so are image metadata

@mdxw says this is built with libnx. Unless you can find some evidence that shows it isn't, please stop arguing about it.
In fact, @xXDungeon_CrawlerXx why don't you ask him for advice on how to produce legal custom nsps? Then you can release all the ones you say you have.
