Homebrew RELEASE dOPUS 0.6 - NSP/XCI file installer and manager for the Switch

[HiD]

I am not sure you understand the politics of forking a project from a developers stand point. You sound like an end user who is too near sighted who wants "now now now" but cant see how they are hurt overall in the long run. I do not mean that as an insult, most users do not think about these politics.

Generally a fork happens when there is a disagreement among the devs about the direction or future of a project. This application just seems to be implementing what is exactly on tinfoil's roadmap. I know Adubbz is open and encourages PR's, the author would have been better served to try to contribute to tinfoil rather than fork it. tldr; forking in this manner was rude and disrespectful.

if it bothers anybody, I can stop distributing it. I don’t mind at all. I don’t put any pride in my code. I have tons of other projects to work on. Especially my graphics engine.

Dang! This looks clean. I'll definitely be checking this bad boy out.
Thank for the upload

Dont stop Devel..
keep the good work

 

[laurorual]

if i use the "Install & Delete" option, do i still need double the space to install a nsp game?

 

[snoofly]

Interesting if albeit a slightly sour tone this thread has picked up which is a shame.
As much as my head can see the logic behind both stances, my heart is saying “biting hand that feeds” is worse than “conducting development as per best GPL practices”

I think you should stop doing releases, and speak with adubbz about doing PR's to tinfoil. His GUI has been a WIP for awhile, because he has been focusing on functionality like network installs and USB installs. I am sure he would welcome your help on the GUI side. Then you can work together to try to kick DZ's ass

But you are your own man, you make your own decisions.

Tried owlboy xci. worked like a charm. thanks a lot

 

[Dfroberts86]

So I tried to install a xci, and it extracted it, then tried to patch the ncas but gave me an error, I think my keys.txt file was wrong, which I have since fixed.

Anyways, my question is, it appears that the extracted ncas are still taking up room on my SD card, but I can't find them. Do you know where they would be located?

yea this suggestion seems great. That way development would be faster and everyone is benefited.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

One could also say, just because you don't think he should, doesn't mean he shouldn't. I don't mean that in an insulting way, just that your personal opinion does not trump the license - which he is fully complying to. It's up to the original author to contact him with any concerns. This sort of stuff is exactly what I don't like about the open source scene, and by that I mean the insertion of conflict/drama where there isn't any.

I have generated the prod.keys file using shchmue's fork of kezplez. Is this sufficient i.e the keys.dat file which OP has mentioned or am I missing any other step?

Oh for crying out loud... Here we go again... Politics.

Look. This chap wanted to fork someones work and make his own version. Nothing wrong with that. I`ve done it and had it done to me before. So what? Thats what the bloody fork function is for. Not some bollocks "unwritten rule" that forking is disrespectful.

If the author didn`t want potential forks, why put it on fucking Git? He has credited the author as per GPL guidelines. Not for profit.

People on here are really starting to fuck me off with this holier-than-thou attitude. Don`t like it? Mind your own business.
Twats like you will eventually stifle development as people and potential good devs will be put off by some FOSS wanking contest you all seem to be having and people won`t know which way to bloody jump.

No mate. Carry on. You have done nothing wrong. Unless the author has a problem, which I cannot imagine him having one because he posted it on Github...

Ignore the pillocks on here saying you can`t wipe your own arse from back to front. Tell them to fuck off.

Do. Me. A. Favour... No reason they cannot work together in the future.

I forked Atlas44s SAMD code way back. Done my own things and posted it back. No complaints. Going to have a high-and-mighty opinion of me too are you?

Any improvements are available for the original author to include in their code too.

@HiD the app works a treat I really love it! The nsp installer works very well and the set out looks great! Just a suggestion for a future update would it be possible to implement a delete content feature on titles the updates, dlc etc.. similar to the devmenu also a proper nsp release of this app would be very handy for the main menu.

 

[Creatable]

This is awesome, it reminds me of FBI.
Pretty happy this is a thing now, keep up the good work!

Someone please help me with this. I am stuck unable to play because I cant get it to install xci files.

 

[Reecey]

Can anyone make a 5.1/6.0fw nsp of this? it would be great worth having as a main menu app.

I just released a first version of dOPUS, my NSP/XCI manager for the Switch!
It is based on Tinfoil and 4NXCI.
You can grab it here: https://github.com/Hidki/dOPUS/releases/tag/v0.6

The interface should be self-explanatory:

Features:

• File browser like interface
• Install or "Install & Delete" NSP, XCI
• Install an extracted NSP or XCI (NCA folder)
• Extract NSP, XCI to a folder
• Convert XCI to NSP

-------> Don't forget to place keys.dat to the root of the SDCard to use XCI features! <-------
You can generate it using kezplez https://github.com/tesnos/kezplez-nx/releases
Edit: Draxzelex suggested to us shchmue's fork of kezplez over tesnos'. Hers supports the fuses and TSEC being dumped in multiple locations as well as also supporting firmware 6.0.
Edit2: Untested with SX OS emunand, but we all know this emunand is not the real deal anyway

Keep in mind this is a first alpha release. If people like it and use it, I might add more features!
As always I'm not responsible for any damage caused to your switch or your data.
Cheers!

I like how it looks. well done!

 

[Adubbz]

I guess I should clarify my views here. From a licensing standpoint, there's absolutely nothing wrong with the existence of this. However, I indeed would've much preferred it to have been treated as a pull request rather than being spun off into its own project. This is something I've very much been interested in for some time, and am more than happy to collaborate with someone wanting to take care of Tinfoil's UI issues. As it stands though, I do tend to agree with blawar's assessment that it does mean I'm probably going to be competing with myself :/

Someone please help me with this. I am stuck unable to play because I cant get it to install xci files.

These are the steps i did:
1. Dump your TSEC and fuses bin from CTCaer Hekate Mod.
2. In fact, dump everything and copy them to your PC as backup. Keep the originals in your switch SD card.
3. In your Switch SD card: using your PC, place the kezplez-nx nro file, this dOpus nro file where you put your homebrew. Also place your XCI files in a folder.
4. Go to your favourite CFW and run kezplez-nx from the homebrew menu. run it to dump the prod.keys.
5. Either put your SD card into your PC or use NX-shell (which i did) to do this: duplicate your prod.keys and rename one as keys.dat and keep that in your SD card root.
6. Run dOPUS and install your XCI's.

Thank you so much. It is working now. Apologies for my nubness.
