Homebrew RELEASE Nro2Nsp Retroarch Rom/Nro Forwarders!

[re.lax]

Trying for the first time, on the latest beta. The Application continues to tell me I am missing the Keys.dat file in the Resources folder. I first copy and pasted just the keys from my prod.keys in to the template and moved to resources folder as Keys.dat, did not work. Then copied my original prod.keys with all the extra keys and renamed to Keys.dat. Continue to get Keys.dat not found.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/g10qob5kb8phecj/Nro2Nsp_3.3.2_beta_4_-_Extra.zip?dl=0 Can you try this build. I broke a file check in a build and can’t remember if beta 4 was affected by it.

This also adds a setting for custom path for keys. Try the resources folder first tho pleases as I’d like to see if that helped your issue

That did correct my issue, worked the first time like a charm. I am very grateful for the quick response and fix. Nice job mate!

Thanks for the heads up I’ll have to push that fix

DM me your keys and your log inside the resources folder. Ill be leaving work shortly and ill check where the patches go and make sure everything looks good

Sorry for the late reply, and thank you for the offer, but I found the issue thanks to you Your mention of the log made me check the log myself and I quickly realized that something was off about the sdmc path, when compared to any other paths shown below it in the log.

There was no "/" in front of the path, and taking a second look at the user interface in the program, I could tell I had to include it myself. I must have completely missed this the first time I used the program. Also seems to explain why nothing really went wrong until I tried to use the nsp, it wasn't a critical error, but It just resulted in the nsp not being able to find the nro and throw an error.

So issue resolved. I can already tell that I do have 1 other problem with the nsp version, but I am almost certain that has nothing to do with your program. Thanks for the help

Weird that a sdmc path error didn’t tell you the patch was wrong when trying to load it. I’ll have to double check my error reporting. What’s the other issue?

Like I said, the nsp was for nxThemes, and the homebrew app includes a "reboot" feature that you can use after changing themes, to make the changes take effect. The reboot option doesn't work when launching the homebrew through the nsp version. However, I have another way of rebooting the switch to CFW, and I can see that the changes are still applied.

This is nothing more than a guess, but I can imagine it's not working for the same reasons that you have to exit an app through home button + system menu, in other words, an exit feature included in the app won't work when launched as an nsp.

Considering the author of Nxthemes doesn't seem to be planning to add nsp support, this issue won't get fixed anytime soon...

Hi,
I tried to use several builds on Linux (Mint) but I always get MissingMethodException: Method 'String.Format' not found.
Mono is latest Version from the repository.
I tried to create a RetroArch Forwarder for Oracle of Seasons

When I try to launch this on my Windows Partition, it says that it hasn't got the rights for the Path to MtX.Control.dll and deletes everything in this folder except for the dll and the exe, even when run as admin

What version of mono are you running on mint? You can try this on your windows one
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/wi...curity-policy-settings/user-rights-assignment
Seems like you don’t have permission

 

[paggimm]

On mint it says Version 4.2.1

I forgot to Mention: My windows partition is win7, not win10
I tried on my wife's pc with win10, but its the same there.

Edit: I just realized on mono's project page is Version 5. I'll add their repo and update mono and try again

 

[re.lax]

It should work without having to add anything on windows 10. I’m unsure why it’s saying it can’t acess the dll

 

[paggimm]

Update: I tried to update Mono according to their page but it somehow messed up my repository and i had to revert mono back to fix this.
For now, I'll go to sleep and try it on Windows again tomorrow and will report back if it functions/fails again.
Anyway, thanks for your help

Edit: Gave it one last try on win7 and the build you linked on this page finally worked at least for windows

 

[2Siralv]

Can you add so it can forward eboot or pbp

3.3.2 Stable is up!

 

[FanboyKilla]

Found a few of issues in the latest 3.3.2 Stable build...

======
Issue 1
======
I'm not sure what's going on with the Settings but for some reason they are saving in multiple locations.

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\MtX\Nro2Nsp.exe_Url_5zjh3ykyfskuv1jng2tceghfzcyuovgb\1.0.0.0\user.config
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Nro2Nsp\settings.xml

Those are created/updated anytime you click "Save" from the Settings menu.

Rather that saving the Settings.xml to the AppData folders, why don't you just simplify it and save the "Settings.xml" in the "Resources" folder? Being that this works as a Portable app, it just makes more sense to have everything in one location, rather than scattering files into different places.

======
Issue 2
======
In the "Logo Menu", if the "No Logos" box is checked, it can no longer be "unchecked". Clicking on "Reset All" doesn't cause it to become unchecked either. The only way I could get it to reset back to normal is by clicking on "Reset All -> Save -> Save -> Close/Relaunch Nro2Nsp".

======
Issue 3
======
Custom logo paths are not being saved to the "settings.xml" file when settings.xml is being ran from the "Resources" folder. Instead they are being saved to both of the "AppData" folders that I listed above in "Issue 1".

Steps to reproduce are...

- Delete "user.config" and "settings.xml" from the AppData folders I listed above in "Issue 1".
- Make sure that you have a "settings.xml" file in the "Resources" folder.
- Start Nro2Nsp
- Goto "Settings -> Logo Menu" change the "Import Logo" and click "Save".

Now "user.config" and "settings.xml" are created in the AppData folders rather than "Resources\settings.xml" being updated.

======
Issue 4
======
Nro2Nsp is not reading the "settings.xml" from the "Resources" folder IF "user.config" and "settings.xml" don't exist in the AppData folders. Instead I get this error in the log...

Local Settings file loaded from: ./Resources/settings.xml
Could Not Apply Settings From ./Resources/settings.xml

I really hope you will consider using the Resources folder exclusively to store the "settings.xml" rather than using the AppData folders.It just doesn't make any sense for a Portable App to be using the AppData folder. Not only that, but you won't even need the option to "Export Settings File" in the Settings menu, because they will already exist in the Resources folder by default.

Thank you for the detailed explain on things.
Issue 1: the local settings path is controlled by the application itself and not by my implementation. I originally added the roaming as there was an issue that would discard the settings each new build which would of been a pain to set over each time. It would also help prevent the user to having to copy over the settings file each time. That being said I decided to add the resources folder later on and it takes priority. If you click export save file it’ll save in the resources folder.

Issue 2 : I shall look into that once I’m home

Issue 3 : it’s because as stated in issue one is the default location of the settings.xml is roaming and you’re loading it from resources folder. Use export settings file to update. I may change the way this works to prevent issues like this.

Issue 4 : Do not delete the settings in local, this will cause that error as it has nothing to set the settings to. I’ll consider changing the settings a bit

Just verified issue 2, seems to get stuck. Ill look into things tonight and see what i can do

I have a new build with a fix for the nologo issue and a revamped settings configuration setup if youd like to test and let me know how it works?
