Among some fixes this one adds a solution for the dlc renaming.

solved my problem, thanks

I'm going to release some fixes later though. Basically the exe versions routes aren't identified properly and the nut json files for dlc names don't download to the correct place.

Ok I was using an older version of NSB .83 and it worked perfectly. Now I updated to .90 and I'm having problems. Still same game Smash Bros Ultimate with 5.0 update. I don't know how to get a header_key, never had to before. The keys are verified to show master_key_08 now.

Edit: I figured out the header key is with the other guys, but how do I get a XCI header key?

I'm also finding 90 to just run terribly where I had no issues with 83. It just freezes like when you're trying to add files.

Is one of the key lockpick gives you. Did you rename directly the lockpick file? It outputs it on linux format so it won't work fine with NSCB on windows. It can be solved by pasting the keys on the template or by using Notepad++ to change the end of lines to windows format.

It's at the right bottom corner, if it says UNIX (LF), press with the right mouse button and change it to windows.

Now if you use the template and don't have the xci_header_key you can delete that field, that one is optional. The alternative is to search it on google since it was derived from a cartridge.

BTW: The header key is probably in your old file.

So I updated to 90 verified the keys have master_key_08, fixed the header_key and Smash Bros + update 5.0 still didn't work when trying to load it. Has anyone been able to make an XCI with Smash Bros Ultimate + 5.0 update?

I'll check myself. Just game + Update or you included dlcs?
Also do a verify on the final xci. Enter in mode 4, drag the file and choose option 8.

 

[EmulateLife]

Just game plus update.

All my cxci come out as ''unknown.xci'' with the latest release. Does anyone know what is causing this ? I am also getting the same error with previous versions (0.89 and 0.83).

Works fine for me.

You sure your keys are correct? If they come as unknown is because the program can't read the name from the nacp, the nacp is standard crypto so it seems masterkey related.
Did you verify your keys with the function in "MODE 0 - CONFIGURATION"? Also did you try to read any file with the info functions?

 

[Light9384]

I found what the problem was! Turn out I was missing the last two keys. Thanks. It seems to work well now.

I see NBA2K20 is out, and the usual of 7GB game file and 30GB update. Do we still have the limitation of custom XCIs over 32GB not working in SX OS?

 

[JRoad]

Since i'm around one thing. The nutdb repo changed urls, I thought the program wouldn't write the json if it doesn't find it but it writes one with `400 request error`. I'm working in a future solution but for now i updated the urls and database zip from the release in github.
So if you ran into issues with game info or renames download the db zip or redownload the x86\x64 or python pack.

Yep, that one is on SX OS side. They say they would need a 64GB cartridge to give support to that, so maybe at the end of switch live when the chips get cheaper.
The update for that game is almost 32GB so i don't think it'll work even merging update + base using hactool.

Would it be possible to merge into an NSP and install that way?

Yes, that press no issue. You could install the xci too, what you can't is load it.
Just remember multi-nsp installs only work with sx rommenu, sx installer, tinfoil.io or lithium. Goldleaf and old Addubz's tinfoil don't support them.

Very minor issue: in the text for option 8 of Global Config it says:

This option affects the speed of the process. The ideal buffer depends on
your system. Deffault is set at 64kB

"Deffault" is misspelled. Sorry!

 

[markmcrobie]

What's a "ticketless" nsp?

 

[pokemonlog]

when I reboot the console it shows me the 1.0.0

I'll change it later. Funny how it probably has been missed for a long time.
Ticketless nsp or titlerights-removes are nsps which tickets have been removed. They were useful to avoid some Nintendo telemetry but nowadays if you use one of the 2 emunand systems and block Nintendo servers you don't have to worry about that.

Yeah that happens with some games I think it's the way the loader works. It must install one of the control nca files randomly. Probably can be avoided adding the control nca from the update to the normal partition but didn't have time to test that yet.

@JRoad

I tried to turn spyro base and update into a single split xci (4gb sxos option) but switch says cant read cart error.

Tried it unsplit and work like a charm from external drive. Split this xci using another xci splitter that works.

The split xci I created using your tool, the 3rd split file is a few bytes short of what it should be for some reason.

I can show you the files in a screenshot when I get home if that helps.

Tried using 0.89 and 0.90
