ROM Hack RELEASE NSC_Builder. Nintendo Switch Cleaner and Builder. (Game+updates+dlc in a single xci)

[markmcrobie]

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.

I'm super banned, so don't need to need to worry about it anyway

Can you add 2 new options:

1. Incorporate File Joiner mode into mode 2, so that we can load xc0 files as well as xci? I know mode 2 can split >4GB files, would be good if it could also re-join them. Mode 7 does this perfectly so is it as easy as just combining them?
2. Mode 1 seems to leave filenames of resulting XCIs the same as the original file name. Would be good if it could name files the same way as mode 2 defaults to, i.e. <name> [ID] (version, update, etc).xci. I like this format of naming, so I use mode 2 even if I just have a single nsp/xci to process.

 

[markmcrobie]

What's option 4 under Special Options in Mode 2 for? Called "unmodified" or something similar.

Also, when repacking as an NSP, what does the [rr] in the output filename mean?

 

[markmcrobie]

Is there any difference between converting an XCI to NSP using NCSB and installing it, versus using SX OS (or similar) to install the XCI?

I can add an option to call the renamer after the file creation automatically, to not rename the files was intentional basically.
A similar result can be made with mode 2 separating files by baseid, that separates the list by games.
About the joiner the issue is that it won't be something directly. I separated it to a new mode to not mix those file types when building the list basically.

Rights Removed, is the old mode it removes the need of tickets or convert from xci. Unmodified only takes unmodified nsps (ncas) and respects the tickets. I can create multicontent nsps that t tinfoil.io can verify without activating the "unsigned code" option.

SX OS rommenu you can call it the more proper way, it doesn't change the isgamecard flag so the nca are unmodified. The disadvantage is that if you change to ReiNX or Atmosphere those game won't work since they lack those patches.
Now SX installer, tinfoil.io,lithium and NSCB changes isgamecard to 0 that means they work in all CFW with the proper patches.
If you use only eShop to xci converts I don't change the isgamecard to 1 so even with rommenu they will work on all CFW, if you use proper xci that won't, if you change back a file that was converted to nsp to xci with NSCB it restores the isgamecard to it's original state so the first issue will happen again I could add a non restoration option,the way the verification is handled it wouldn't matter.

@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

Weird, I will try to do one myself for Spyro but I tested the splitter recently.

 

[markmcrobie]

So I created an unmodified NSP of NBA2K20 (7GB base XCI and 32GB update NSP) and the resulting file was 32GB. If I create an XCI or TNSP, it's 40GB. 8GB is a big saving, but should I be using the 40GB one?

As a side note, SX OS crashes with any of these 2 NSP files or the 40GB XCI file in the sxos/games folder (Switch error 2168-0002). SX Installer seems to install the NSP just fine though.

Could you please expain short what this nut Database is exactly used for ?
Till now everything worked fine, so what are the improvements ?

 

[LalalaBro]

Tried every way out for now. It's impossible to launch them if there is nothing in the ticket blob for the Updates and DLC. I don't know, if this is an exotic issue. I don't mind adding the tickets, but I have to keep a good Emunand backup (for saving the blob), otherwise I would have to keep always the ticket containing NSP and the custom XCI. Maybe a future update will fix this for me .
And thanks for the warnings, I'm cautios with being online, still not banned
Cheers

Hey. Any update regarding this? I happen to get the same error code as you when mounting and opening custom XCIs I made myself. But the problem isn't there when I tried mounting and opening custom XCIs downloaded from the internet.

Obviously that xci wan't correctly created for some reason. Anyway SX OS won't currently support any xci bigger than 32GB

DLC naming, games descriptions in game info and genres. It'll be replaced by one format i've been working on that has more data since nut takes the data from the eshop but i want to include a permanent database that includes all the interesting data we can get from the files.
I've been working on that and autofunctions that, for example autoupdates your xcis when files enter in your library. I'll also will be to add games to your list from your library, like -> Search all games in english, genre Adventure, exclude japanese games or just search a game from name or baseid.
For example, search X baseid and add to the list all games matching from your library file...

The error is in your console, i don't have tickets installed and i can play yhe games fine as xci. Someone reported me a similar error and it was due to stuck data in the console, he solved it va a factory reset though i imagine there are easier ways to solve the issue. Either way is console side basically.
Note: The reply is directed to your previous issue though. Now if for the "same game", you don't get the issue with xcis not made by yourself and when you made them you have that issue the only explanation would be removed ticket without removing titlerights, something that i don't see how it could be possible in recent versions. I could understand bad keys making a bad xci but not a good xci without titlerights removed.

This turned out to be the case. There seems to be residual data stuck in my emunand, resolved the issue by reformatting my SD card then reinstalling emunand from a fresh sysnand backup. Thanks for replying!

A little help please. I keep getting the error

Getting NUTDB json
Exception: [Errno9] Bad file descriptor

I downloaded the json files and put them in the zconfig\DB folder, but it doesn't seem to work.

Try with these, I just updated the db:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/80i81u6afd6gvtv/NSB_90bx64.zip/file
https://www.mediafire.com/file/nb7grepspssibrg/NSB_90bx86.zip/file
It's set with the normal config so it will update every 24h the db, if you want a higher value edit the config files in zconfig. I didn't have time yet to add a fallback in case something weird happens with the db in 0.90

I think it worked, but now I get this

It's saying it can't make the info dir. Either way that's for file-info. The function to patch the nacp is in advanced. Is the funtion number 5 from the advanced mode (mode 6).
I think your issue will solve itself if you do the INFO directory manually, i don't know why the program can't get permissions to do that. It should go in the root. NSCB\INFO\ I'll check later if it's an issue due to pyinstaller or something, I normally use the python version.

Hmm, I'm not getting the error without the INFO directory, it's creating it fine in my end. Just in case verify your keys.txt. Is in the configuration mode (0) and then 3.

@JRoad everything is working perfectly now. I tried to run it from desktop and that's why it didn't work. I wish people would specify where it goes from the beginning haha.
I moved the folder to Users\myprofile\NSCB and it worked.

Ah I have to add that to the readme. I saw that issue before, the desktop works a little like symlinks and can mess things up.

JUst use the multimode with the xci and the new update\dlcs. The program autoselects the newer content from the files you feed it.
The old mode that removes the update before adding the new content is in "Legacy" (Pressing L when you enter the batch, but is not needed anymore and is slower).

It should let you skip the turn on airplane mode. The only instance i heard of not letting people skip the message is when someone tries to enter in a game without the appropriate patches. Then the game will keep asking you to turn wifi on even if you later added the patches apparently. The solution is to uninstall, add the patches and try to boot the game again.

I don't know which CFW you're using. ReiNX and SX OS include all the patches. While atmosphere and Hekate\kosmos have different recommended patches.

For atmosphere recommended patches are:
https://gbatemp.net/threads/i-heard-that-you-guys-need-some-sweet-patches-for-atmosphere.521164/

For kosmos\hekate 5.0 recommended patches are:
https://github.com/Joonie86/hekate/releases/tag/5.0.0J

Also if you use hekate is recommended to use Hekate 5.0 if you're using an older hekate since old one supports less patches.

hello,
i use an old version of NSCB
I tried to update it with the last version on Github but i can't find the "update mode" anymore.
Is this feature still existing?
I found it in the legacy mode but where can i find it without accessing to the old functions
thanks

It's not needed. I literally gave the reason in the message above yours. Multimode handles that with a better approach.
