Hacking 6.2.0 Key Generation could (POSSIBLY) be UNCRACKABLE.

[MAXLEMPIRA]

And just in time when I wanted to share my Mew from Pikachu to Eevee, never used the Switch Scene and never thought 6.2 would affect it xDD

What exactly does the update prompt ?

 

[Essasetic]

I think you quoted the wrong person, I was basically saying that only

Yeah I did. My bad.

What exactly does the update prompt ?

To update to 6.2.0! If you hit "download" it will automatically update you and lock you out from CFW.

You have to connect to the eShop to unlock the game tho. Think about it a bit harder

I said pre-load but unlocked with the key extracted from the xci, read my comment again

"however to unlock it you must wait for the release day and connect to internet which require update "

the xci does not have title key
where did you get that nonsense from?

If it doesn't have the titlekey then what does it have to make the game work?

go ahead and try to get a title key from an xci
genius

NSPs have title keys
xcis do not

That doesn't answer my question lol.

 

[Draxzelex]

No.

Cant dump nsp because cfw doesnt work at all, and they changed the way encryption works

Don't know what you guys are smoking but it is indeed possible as long as whatever you're dumping isn't encrypted with masterkey 7 (or whatever one is used on firmware 6.2). Someone from WarezNX was able to dump games on firmware 6.2 because dumping eShop titles is done from RCM, not CFW.

 

[jakkal]

That doesn't answer my question lol.

what do you think the master keys are for
when youre extracting xcis, dont you need to need to master keys to decrypt them?

ask yourself that question

Disclaimer: I am not an expert nor do I actually know how it works under the hood, I am just going by what I've read here on GBATemp.

NSPs are titlekey encrypted.
But XCIs (and update NSPs afaik) are "standard crypto", i.e. not titlekey encrypted, as stated here:

"standard crypto" (like the XCI/cartridge games) instead of the "ticket rights" usually used for eShop titles.

That quote is actually from a thread that has a guide to remove the fake ticket from NSPs, turning it into "standard crypto" NSP (ala update NSPs, which do not require fake tickets to work).

But of course, to decrypt the .nsx preload into an .nsp, you need the titlekey.

Please, if you don't know what you are talking about don't post like you are telling people the truth...because you are talking BS...

1) Wait until someone dumps the physical Card (XCI Format) or dump it yourself (requires SX OS as far as I know)
2) Grab that XCI File
3) Throw it into any XCI2NSP program
4) Install the NSP on your < 6.1 Switch
5) Use your CFW of choice and enjoy the game

Where exactly did you *need* SX OS to play your *backup* again?
you may *need* someone to use SX OS to dump the Cartridge Image (.XCI)...but everybody can convert that Image to an installable "eShop Version" (.NSP) and use their CFW of choice.

What makes you think SX is required to dump cartridges

 

[nightweb]

Unless you have sx os or bought the game you wont be able to play it. Its not that hard...

Actually not really, while an option its not the only one

Your mostly right I think however to my understanding, XCI's can be made in any CFW, thought I'm not sure if the GC update with 4.0 would affect it in anyway. So I would assume if you wanted you could use a cart Dumper (WAIN, SX Dumper) to dump the card on any firmware (CFW: Atmosphere, SX OS, ReiNX) , use a XCI Converter (XCI2NSP), then install it with a NSP installer (Tinfoil, SX OS).

So While SX OS is an option for all parts (and free to use for everything apart from XCI loading) there are a few options for all parts and they are just the programs I could think of off the top of my head.

NSPs aren’t titlekey encrypted, the NCAs inside of them are
(Also NSPs aren’t even used for retail games at all normally kek)

And update NCAs do have titlekey encryption

nice.. just got my pokeball plus but cant get mew out of it.

You poor Pokemon players can't do whatever you Pokemon players usually do (I don't play those games)

Oh ok i was wrong, i didnt know how you dump nsps, i only dumped cart to xci to nsp

I see this thread has gone full on GBATemp now :/

Yep.

 

[abilaunken]

So if it takes time to have a workaround on this, can we still buy the carts and play on lower firmware?
