I want to share something that I've been working on for a while
It started of as an experiment to add LibHac to Switch Backup Manager, but as it was easier to make a new project instead of doing with an existing app with already lots of things in it, it progressed as a separate project. Although because now it is a separate project, a macOS build was made possible


NX Game Info

Tool to read information from Nintendo Switch game files, with the following features

• Read NSP, XCI and installed titles from SD card
• Game files structure (Scene release, CDN rip, converted)
• NCA signature (Verify if it's official Nintendo titles. Unmodified titles should pass this test)
  
• FS permission (Read filesystem permission. Game titles should not have excessive filesystem permissions such as EraseMmc)
  
• macOS and Windows build

To use this app, you need to provide 4 files

• prod.keys: Your usual keys file, also commonly found as keys.txt in other apps. Can be obtained from your Switch using Lockpick
• console.keys: SD seed key, can also be obtained using Lockpick. Please refer to this for more details. This is only required for Open SD Card to function, and only sd_seed key (along with sd_card_kek_source and sd_card_nca_key_source in prod.keys) is required. Other keys can be ignored
• title.keys: Title keys file, support any popular format such as from newkeydb or nutdb. This is required to read FS permission for games using Titlekey Crypto. Also used to map game title name and latest version if available. For more details see https://github.com/garoxas/LibHac/blob/NX_Game_Info/KEYS.md#title-keys
• hac_versionlist.json: Version list file, can be downloaded from https://pastebin.com/raw/9N26Bx10 (updated daily). No DLC version

For more details, please refer to https://github.com/garoxas/NX_Game_Info#how-to

Thanks to

• @minibar for LibHac
• @GibaBR for the inspiration with Switch Backup Manager
• http://switchbrew.org/

For macOS Users

If the app suddenly closes when you try to run it, go to System Preferences then to Security & Privacy, there you'll need to select Open Anyway to be able to run this app

I just realized that you released another build a few days ago with the changes allowing to save the column filters. Just wanted to say Thank You for implementing those requests.

How dare the OP/dev implement requests and hotfixes!!!!!!

also released it as official build https://github.com/garoxas/NX_Game_Info/releases/tag/v0.5+hotfix.1
including fixes for macOS where it'll crash if .NET core is not installed

lol
maybe he expected me to update the thread whenever I release a new build like any normal devs, but unfortunately I'm too lazy for that

Pfth. He expects you to update a web site AND a thread? People just ask too much from devs these days. In any case, thanks for the nifty program. Much better than backup manager, which gives me false negatives on CDN content.

Well I'm glad you have your laziness focused on not updating the thread instead of not updating the app. By all means, carry on.

I am running on Windows 10, all updates installed. And I am using v0.5.1.0 of NX Game Info.

On some NSP files I am getting an error: Not an NCA3 file
This is the info from the debug.log file (I am not really sure what I should hide or not include so I took a guess and changed some values):
Application starts at Friday, July 12, 2019 10:57:54 AM

Program locks up here and has a runtime error dialog box with the message: Not an NCA3 file. You can click Continue or Quit. Clicking Continue just makes the program sit there doing nothing and you have to kill the process. Clicking Quit closes the program.

It does load into XCI Explorer without any errors if that helps at all.

Thanks.

thanks for your report
can you please not redact this part as I need to know what game is it and on which file it's having issue. don't worry it's not a sensitive data so you should have no worry exposing it. thank you

@HawaiianPunch that's enough for now. I'll take a look at that as soon as I can. thanks

I have no issue with that game update. maybe corrupted file?
you can also try using the latest nightly build in https://ci.appveyor.com/project/garoxas/nx-game-info/build/artifacts but I doubt it'll change anything

you can compare your file size and hash with mine if you know how to do that

World Soccer Pinball [01001E300B038800][v65536].nsp
file size: 48719119
sha1:41b3c77d288324900bd86be27dff8648d6512743

 

[HawaiianPunch]

Mine is definitely different file size and the nightly build did not make a difference as you stated. I have 3 others that also give the same error but they could be corrupt, also. I will try downloading again and see what happens.

Thanks!

I just pushed some fixes in https://ci.appveyor.com/project/garoxas/nx-game-info/build/artifacts
this won't make those files to appear in the app, but at least it won't crash now. and if you open multiple files with corrupted ones in it, only corrupted files will be skipped and not abort the whole process

 

[HawaiianPunch]

I was about to post requesting some sort of error handling. That is awesome. Thanks!
I would only suggest a feature of somehow still putting it in the list but marking it as corrupt or something. Just so if it is one of many files it will be easy to spot.

corrupted NCA crash here with rocket league 1.2.1 update :

file size : 6139829346
sha1 : 578563CF234DED076BE853B72553FAC1F0677B0A
is it related to proper PFS0 header issue fixed in Switch Backup Manager 1.2.1 ?

not sure, but I suspect that won't be the case
can you post the log (enable debug log and try again), I don't have the update file. thanks

that's odd. unless the nsp missing some nca files, the log should not stop there
thanks for reporting but it seems I can't fix it right now until I can reproduce the issue. if you happen to have other files with the same issue, please let me now

 

[Garou]

@popolon
which version did you use? if you're using the binary from github release page, then try this one instead https://ci.appveyor.com/project/garoxas/nx-game-info/build/artifacts

 

[popolon]

nevermind Garou, that was a bad shrunked file. and yes i was using the binary from artifacts. Keep up the good work !

 

[OrGoN3]

Is it me or does updating the version list not work? Either that or the keeper of the version list is getting lazy. There are a number of games that has no version show up in the database. I'm running the latest build from your link, https://ci.appveyor.com/project/garoxas/nx-game-info/build/artifacts.

certificate is dead. and version list bot in switchbrew discord also no longer updated. so no more version list update until I can get a new source
