DLC works regardless of the format of the game or if you own it. Just ensure you are using a CFW that supports piracy such as ReiNX, SX OS, or Kosmos.

Oh i understand. Atmosphere doesnt support it?

Vanilla Atmosphere does not. It needs special patches in order to support piracy which can be downloaded from here. If you are using Atmosphere and have already downloaded the patches, there is no need to redownload them.

Hi All- had a recent scare thinking I lost my 5.1 nand backup on my PC. Luckily I was able to recover it!

I have a question about the files: there are 7 individual full00.bin, full01.bin (etc)files, along with boot0 and boot1 files. Do the full.bin files combine to make the rawnand.bin file? they are all 3.99 GB except the last one, which is smaller. Just wanting to confirm that perhaps this happened because I made the backup before I had exfat support so the rawnand.bin file got split up? I'm not 100% sure if I had gotten the exfat support before or after I made the backup.

Thanks all, esp. Draxlezex who helped me on a prior issue!

I don't know of any CFW that dumps the NAND in 7 parts. Did you use SX OS by chance? The NAND is 29.1 GB so 7 x 4 (rounded up from 3.99) makes 28 GB which when combined with the last part should be around 1.1 GB to bring the total to 29.1 GB.

Anyway, assuming everything above is correct, the individual files should combine back into one 29.1 GB file named rawnand.bin

Great- thanks! Yes, I misspoke, there are actually 8 files which should add up as you suggested to 29.1. I did use SX.

Here's to hoping that I never need them!

Guys, the Switch games are like Wii U games with updates? Like if you install the last update it works the same as installing each one?

So, I dumped my keys using hekate/lockpick. When using 4NXCI to convert XCI to NSP everything works fine, but when trying to extract an nsp to LayeredFS with this https://gbatemp.net/threads/extract-nsp-nca-xci-update-all-in-one-tool-for-layeredfs.511156/ I get "Invalid NCA Header. Are keys correct?" As I'm currently on 5.1.0 with Atmosphere I was wondering if that's the problem and I've already redumped my keys 3 times and no success.

do you have the keys in the right location? also do they have the right name

I normally make a copy and have one of all three

prod.keys
keys.txt
keys.dat

edit: Just saw they need to be named keys.ini

Yeah I'm using "title.keys" and "prod.keys" inside NCA to NSP extractor. I tried renaming prod.keys to keys.txt or keys.dat but no success, but it works with 4NXCI

See edit for the extractor, they need to be named keys.ini

Ohhh, it worked. I'll try to be less lazy next time and read more of the developers notes when using a program/tool. Thank you very much and sorry for the inconvenience!

all good, I just assumed it went on the normal 3 formats as well before I looked XD

Atmosphere's auto boot into rcm/cfw after a fatal error is very handy. but is it enable by default or I have to change some setting?

 

[werneck14]

I'm getting error code 2168-0002 (0x4a8) with atmosphere when trying to install NSPs with GoldLeaf 0.3 and 0.4. Any ideas what the problem could be?

got the sigpatches?

 

[werneck14]

I didn't have the sigpatches. Extracted it and worked. Does ReiNX have sigpatches automatically implemented?

yep, once upon a time it used nitendos sig patches but has since moved on to generating them itself
