Homebrew WIP nxdumptool - Nintendo Switch Dump Tool

[pcwizard7]

what settings should I use for the purpose of combine dumps using NSC builder?

 

[MSco]

When dumping update data or cartridges with nxdumptool the following options can be done:

when dumping an update to nsp:
(a) Remove console specific data
(b) change npdm rsa key/sig in Program NCA

when dumping a cartridge to xci:
(c) Keep certificate

I would like to dump my cartridges to installable files and my updates and dlcs to seperate nsp files. I would like to play offline on cfw (with installed titles from xci dumps) and online on ofw (with original cartridge)

1. Which dump is more safe for my purpose? nsp or xci?

2. What is the purpose of the options listed above? Which option should be enabled and which disabled, when I want to use those dumps for playing offline only and give away the cartridges to other persons who will (maybe) play online on their ofw? I would like to be as safe as possible, my console is not banned, yet.

3. Does the certificate only matter, if I want to play online? I read, that two people with the same certificate cannot play at the same time. Is this even the case, if I play offline with that installed title from xci dump?

Hey i've been trying to dump a game that I own from OFW and have it on my emu cfw. The game is free and i'm still new to game dumping so if anyone can help that would be great.

I found an error when i Dump gamecard content.
Nca found success but can not read header data

I'm very new to Switch hacking, so please tell me if I provide to little (or too much) information.

I tried dumping my Pokémon Shield Gamecard, and it worked just fine.
But when I try to include the Update/DLC (or really, if I try to dump any non-Gamecard content), I get the error,
retrieveNcaTikTitleKey: invalid public RSA exponent for eTicket data! Wrong keys?
Try running Lockpick_RCM to generate the keys file from scratch.

I saw that the same error has been described same pages ago already, but unfortunately, I still get it even after trying the suggestions there.
I'm using the latest versions of nxdumptool (v1.1.10) and Lockpick_RCM (v1.8.3).
It occurs no matter whether the data has been downloaded under EmuMMC or Sys, nor whether it's on the SD card or the internal memory.
I have also tried creating the prod.keys file from both SysNAND and EmuNAND (not at the same time, obviously)

Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?

Hmm, last time people were getting this error was because there are consoles with personalized eTicket device keys, and a newer Lockpick_RCM fixed the issue.

Could you please send me a DM or contact me via Discord? I would like to try some options.

Unfortunately, I can't yet send DMs here. I contacted you via Discord

Is there a way to change the default output directory? Would save time moving the files from one folder to another after dumping

No way to do this then?

 

[DarkMatterCore]

No way to do this then?

It's only possible to change the output directory for ExeFS/RomFS dumps, in order to use Atmosphère's "contents" directory.

Not possible to change the rest of the paths - they're all hardcoded.

Hi, thanks for this awesome tool.
I'm having a strange issue when dumping DLC, might be as designed, but I'm not quite sure.
I usually check my NSPs with NX Game Info, switch backup manager or any other tool to check the validity of the NSP files.
But all the DLCs I dump are not recognized as a valid NSP, is there a different setting I need to use for DLC?

I use these settings:
- split: yes
- verify with no-intro database: no
- remove console specific data: yes
- generate ticketless: no

do u have your prod.keys and titles.txt in your switch folder? are they up to date? also what title is the dlc for?

I think you mean the title.keys instead of titles.txt?
If yes, then yes, the keys files are in the switch folder, I even recreated them for troubleshooting purposes.
I tried several DLCs i.e.a Hat in Time, Moving Out and several others. all with the same result.

ok well is this the main switch mark on your account or secondary switch? if it's secondary then that's your issue since it doesn't save the titlekey cert on the secondary switch which is why it checks online when you launch the game

I only have one switch, so then it should be the main one
