Before someone says it, i have already looked at similar threads, but got no results so far.

I recently got my hands on dusty raging fist nsp and am trying to extract its contents, so far i have used two tools from two different threads, where they extract the nsp into its cert, tik and nca files, but once i got to extract the nca it asks me for its title key, which i know how to get (looking at offset 180 in a hex editor in the tik file) but in the two tools it tells me the header may be incorrect, or that the key is invalid.

Is there something i'm doing wrong? Or is there a better tool available? Note that i'm not experienced with command lines and stuff.

Thanks for reading.

Silly ask: did you paste titlekey without spaces between bytes?
Should look something like this
01020304
Not like this
01 02 03 04

I did, yet i still got the invalid keys/header message.

I was wondering, could it be that the nsp currently online is a bad dumped one? Just tried a third tool, and even got the same message, but i noticed it displayed the title id of the nsp and it was a=A, which i think is really, really wrong, right?

In the homebrew subforum there's a bunch of tools that can auto extract nsp to layeredfs

The one with green text is the easiest and can automatically read titlekey

But for me, I must extract using the white text one to get NCA

Then extract NCA using the green one

Sorry can't remember the tool name and my stomach hurts so much to hunt the threads

Hmm, will try getting the nca file with one of those tools and then try to extract the nca with the green one (which was the third tool used but still failed to get the files lmao).

Dont want to annoy so much, but could you explain the steps you followed to successfully get the romfs files? No need to search for the tools, i will do it, but the details of how you did it would be really appreciated!

Cuz with the command line itself, you have much more decide what you actually doing

I had already so many ppl who had problems with romfs extracting cuz they used the tools, but after I said use hactool and the commands, they had the files without any problems

I simply drag the NCA to its window.

What error message you got?

If you look around you can find a keys.txt floating around. Just cant be shared here. You don't need any console specific keys

    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I think Nvidia s future lays in AI GPU acceleration stuff if they can get that going it's going to be super interesting in the long term
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    AI assisted game creation might become a thing
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At least that's something I think would be pretty cool.

    Many TBs of assets and the programming of something like that is going to be tough but I think it's something we might see in 20 years maybe sooner
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Psionic Roshambo AI assisted game creation is kinda already here, there was recently that AI that can turn any 2D image into a fully modeled 3D object, it's not perfect, but it's a starting point, beats starting from zero

    before that there was one to generate a fully modeled scene from a 2D image

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but most recently, there was one that actually generates a working unity scene with terrain and textures already set up that you can import right into unity, that's a huge time saver right there

    and using LLMs to generate NPC dialogue and even dynamically generated quests is something i'm sure is already happening

    will just take some time for games made using those things to be completed and released
