When I use nxdumptool to get the romfs and exefs, do I need to dump anything else? I dumped those two files and put them in a new folder on my PC, but when I drag it to PkNX, I get an error that says: "Invalid folder loaded. Unable to recognize game data."

The latest one from ProjectPokemon is from June. That's why it won't work. I can't find a build for Sword and Shield.

Oh, I see. I'll look around for one that works with Sword and Shield in a bit. There should be one out there since the Sacred Sword/King Shield hack used PkNX

There's a semi-updated build buried in the ProjectPokemon thread but I can't get it to recognize my romfs dump as it wants it in a very specific way and there is no documentation on how to actually format it properly. grr

I figured it out.

It has to be loaded as a root folder called whatever you want, then inside of the root folder there has to be the full Romfs folder. Next to the romfs folder there has to be an "exefs" folder but it can be empty.

Thanks so much! In romfs there's a folder called "Pok__mon Sword v0 ...". My exefs folder has that as well, should I leave those as is?

Nvm, I renamed them to romfs and exefs and got PkNX working. Thanks again!

I didn't have to do that. I just used nxdumptool, dumped the romfs and exefs folders, put them into a folder on my computer and "drag and dropped" the folder onto PkNX

Ok in nxdumptool You select the Dump of exefs or romfs ? Thx for help
Yep. Those should create in your SD switch/nxdumptool/romfs and switch/nxdumptool/exefs two folders named after the game you dumped with its title. I took those put them in a folder on my PC and renamed them to romfs and exefs.
