Is there any way to get some more specific error logs ?

I want to merge a Basegame ( NSP ) with its update ( NSP ) but it fails without telling me why...

Wine did the trick... lovely...

Can you keep applying new updates as they're released? I guess you'll then have to reinstall the entire game...

So I’m currently trying to make NSP forwarders with SAK, because I really like the feature to toggle screen record/capture. But No NSP forwarders I make with it are working on my system right now, other NSP forwarders work just fine. Could this be because of the 15.0.0 update, does SAK need an update? Or maybe I'm doing something wrong

Any help on this will be greatly appreciated as I've been trying for awhile to get this to work

Do you have the _0e prod.keys file for 15.0.0 in place? Double check inside the prod.keys to be sure it’s not just _0d keys.

If not, grab this 15.0.0 compatible version of Lockpick_RCM and dump again to see if that gives you a different file with _0e lines this time.

Actually, I JUST figured it out right before you replied. It was my image file, it was too big. Adjusted it and it works just fine. I didn't think that would cause it to not work.
However I have a new problem, the recording does work but it's with no sound. Honestly not too bad, but if you or anyone else know how to fix the sound then that would be great

Great! Glad you figured it out.

Not sure about the recording features. You probably need to look at the contributing projects that make up SAK for more information.

Mee to.
Ive update prod.keys but some games that need fw 16.0.1 dont give well converted nsp with lower firmware needed...!

I have literally tried to convert a dozen NSZ to NSP with this program

The files remain NSZ no matter how many times i try

It is a very simple process,i followed instructions exactly

When i load and choose decompress it runs and i see time progress

It says this, and it says it was a success

It was not

Decompressing finished H:\IP \Fast RMX [NSZ]\FAST RMX [01009510001CA000][v0] (0.82 GB).nsz
converted file: FAST RMX [01009510001CA000][v0] (0.82 GB).nsp

The needed time is 16 seconds.

Is there another program to do this,or has something happened that renders this program useless?

Cheers.

@zebrone , @Dirt check your prod.keys file. Should contain the latest keys obtained via lockpick RCM. Depending on what type of extraction/repacking you want to achieve you may also require a keys.dat file: basically, a simple copy of your prod.keys file, but with just a different name and extension. Also, check the prerequisites (a minimal version of .NET framework I think), your admin privileges, the install location and the output location. Also, I had the same issue as you, twice: the original dumps (while correctly installing with DBI) were defective.
