Complete v0.3 change list:

  • Added PFS0 support! (Used in .nsp)
  • Automatically fills in the textboxes with keydata from keys.dat when key manager is opened. (Also added a manual option)
  • Drag-and-drop file support added for all extraction types
  • Key manager button added to main screen
  • Internet access no longer required for use; now you can check for updates by clicking the option
  • Remembers last selected NCA extraction option
  • Remembers previous directory used
  • NCA extraction is disabled unless keys are filled and a key file is present
  • Checks for incorrectly formatted keys.dat
  • Quotes no longer required in directory names


Coming soon:
  • Name change
  • The hactool files will not be required, the code will be built into the program
  • Key verification
  • Key derivation, the usual stuff, but will also generate the master_key, package1_key and various others from a supplied keyblob, provided you have the wrapper key for the specific keyblob and the console-unique SBK and TSEC keys
  • Bulk file extraction
  • Support for all other hactool formats, including Rights ID-encrypted NCAs and SD card files
  • Built-in CDN downloader, provide a private key and cert, then add the Title ID, it will get the latest version of the meta file, decrypt the NCA, read the cnmt, get the NCAID of each file and download the NCA of them from the Atum server (provided you have the keys)
  • Various file type extractors (BFSAR, BFRES, BFGRP, SARC, SZS, Yaz0, etc.)
  • Background music (optional)
  • Themes (optional)
  • More easter eggs

Check if you can access this url: http://simolabs.com.au/hactoolgui/currentversion.txt
The program reads that before opening, and if it can't access it, then it will time out and crash.

It's a massive flaw I need to fix, and will be coming in v0.3, which will feature exeFS support and will generate emulator-ready game folders!

I have the same situation with other people who have opened the Hactool GUI crash. I checked this site and it prompts that I can't find the IP address. I don't know whether this is a problem with your site or a problem with my network.

You guys don't need to use this to get the files you need

Just download Decrypt-XCI and put it in the hactool folder, place your xci files inside the hactool folder, drag xci files onto Decypt-XCI and you will get the files you need

You still need the keys in an .ini files

Kinda wondering. Does any one else have a problem when trying to extract the Romfs the command prompt crashing? I will pop up then crash right away. If so, any ideas on how to fix that? Heck, it could just be my computer.

Thanks to @rkk :)

I think quite a few people just use the XCI extractor or typical batch files for hactool extraction at this point, mainly since the scene is moving so fast...

Kinda weird to see my stuff being reposted from another forum lel
The problem with this script is that it will extract literally every nca it can find, when you only the biggest one.

Consider using the script I posted here:
gbatemp.net/threads/python-xci-to-layeredfs.507562/#post-8057198, or the one in its OP
You will need to edit in the path to your hactool executable. By default my script doesn't search for a keyset file, since I have mine in .switch/prod.keys, but adding that should be easy.

Hey! Sorry about that, I edited my post and removed it since yours is better...

Yea, the use case for me was to extract all of the NCA's in the SYSTEM partition :)

@SocraticBliss could you please help me I am having the same issue as the last person you helped. When trying to generate the keys.txt from hactool.exe, I believe you ended up generating a key for him instead but is there another way or a work around. Been stuck since last night and switch boots in and says error and I just have to shut it down.
