Homebrew Question Is there an NSP explorer?

[gene0915]

So I have a ton of NSP files and I think some are EU and others US. Is there some sort of viewer that can look inside these files and give me more detailed info? Like I have Minecraft,nsp and Minecraft Switch Edition.nsp?!

I plan on moving from XCI to NSP and I'm wondering if I need to match up the regions? (Say I have the XCI EU version of Mario Kart 8 and remove that and install the US version of the NSP. Will my save games still work?)

.NSP is a file format that eShop games are backed up in and can be installed to your switch for piracy purposes.

Yes you can but you will need SXOS to launch Splatoon 2 then. Since these DLC don't belong to you, you won't be able to launch the game on Official Firmware, even if the game is yours. Furthermore, playing online on SXOS CFW is very risky. I would not recommend that. For the games you own and are playable online, buy DLCs for them.

You can get the DLC using a CFW with sigpatches and installing through TinFoil.

like with any console and cfw, going online regardless if its legit game or not, runs risk of a ban.

thanks

EDIT. btw you can install xci to the switch in the same way as nsp so converting the files is unnecessary

BOI! Look at the date. When I first read this I was like ''wtf I know what nsp is, when did I say that???'' lol

It was a new thing at the time. We were using xci before

Is there a tool now in 2022 that will allow us to see the actual data files within an .nsp?

Wow. This thread just can’t RIP.

These should get you started for 2022…

• XCI-Explorer — display information about game files
• NX Game Info — display information about nsp, xci or installed games
• NXFileViewer — display information about nsp or xci

https://github.com/Thealexbarney/LibHac

even tho the NSP's them self have a region , i believe the switch it self is region free

Correct…no regions…unless China.

All of those are listed as displaying info about the nsp. Do any of the three allow me to peruse the data within the nsp, as in view the various files?

The first three are high level but have some advanced content features. The notes beside them are just my quick reference. Read their actual documentation and try them out to see all the features they have.

Hactool and hactoolnet take you to the next level down…uncompressing l4z to get you individual files. Some of the file for,at s underneath that will have their own compression/formats as well. Depending upon what you want to do (audio, graphics, etc, etc) there are tools to unwrap those as well.

XCI-Explorer Modded, let you to explore the contents of the partitions:

and the XCI-Explorer not moded version even let you extract them:

NX Game Info show information about a folder of NSP, XCI files.

and NxFileViewer let you also export files from the NSP

As stated by @binkinator if you need to recompile the extracted files to a NSP you need HacTool & HackToolNet

for edit several types of Switch files you can use Switch Toolbox, even Switch Toolbox also allows you to open NPS and XCI files

And MSBT Editor or Kuriimu
