Yes a NEW thread for the new version I think is needed because of the big news!
Something like a tutorial thread. That way it will get more views!

During the weekend, i have hacbuild fixed so I can do the process manually right now but I want to automate several things into the batch.
The idea was just editing the first post since is a continuation of xci bbut first post need an edit since we won't have the 4nca problem anymore.
--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------
Ok I'll think about it. May as well do a new thread and ask for the old ones to get closed.
**Waiting intensifies even more** (All joking aside, I do hope the update comes out today, but I understand if stuff happens and you can't push it today, life is a pain sometimes)
He only works on it on the weekends because of his job! BUT fingers crossed!
Yeah, i'm afraid that i'll need to pospone it a few days. It's not far but I think I went a little ambitious. Basically did several modifications in my nut libraries so I can copy any file inside the NSPs without extracting and specially so I can copy the nca files without encryption wich along a custom buffer you can set in options makes the process significantly faster. I also seems to be solving the naming issues from the tests I ran.
The issue with this is I spent yesterday on that and today I had to rewrite "NUT_Batch_Cleaner", wich i'm taking as base, so it works with this new functions. Right now I have restored the auto-mode and manual mode for cleaning, trimming and building and can get files from xci or nsp format without titlerights encryption from originals as nsp or xci .
I basically added a modification I had from some time for the nut libraries that let's you change nca from card format to eshop format and vice-versa.
So what i'm missing for first release? Well i'm still missing the list function that will let you create a xci/nsp that contains multiple nca files, that will be in the first release. Maybe the zipping function and name tag functions, though they're less important. Specially the zipping functions since I can now get any file from inside an xci without extraction so it's like a second to get the things that where in the zips before from the original.
For second release I need to get an auto-mode, manual mode that associates files by titleid so you don't need to make the multi-content xci one by one and the titlerights restoring mode for nsp files.
So first release it's not that far but i'd prefer to not release this thing in it's current state. This will be called NXBuilder so yes, it'll get a new post. The idea it's for it to be profile base and to update my other batches as profiles for this one so you can have batch files for different options instead of going to change settings every time in the option file. It'll be an option file per profile and you will be able to set up the working folder so you can ran several batches at the same time.
Again I'm sorry about not being able to fulfill the promised date, I hope to get it all working for you soon. I'll try and stimate tomorrow the needed time, if i see it far i'll release what i've got as beta. It should serve to at least solve the more than 4nca files issue for the trimmer/builder.
I'm still holding the surprise hostage BTW.

Yeah, sorry just had to many things prepared for the cleaner and since I needed the one that copies the nca files without titlerights directly from the nsp to not make a pain in the ass the "integrate several content into an xci thing" so I ended adding a ton of custom functions I had prepared for my mod of the nut libraries yesterday wich made me deviate from my original estimation.
No worries, yes i think you went very ambitious xD because all we want is just to merge the updates!
Ok, so one of my testing custom "xci" did leak in some page. So I'll have to ruin the surprise for everyone here.
--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------
So basically with my fix of hacbuild you can add multi-content inside an xci with a custom icon even, no matter what it is. It looks like a game but when loaded it loads as several ones. Someone I trusted with it leaked it in a certain forum so I'll ruin the surprise for everyone, sorry for that.

Sorry that someone you trusted leaked it, I hate when people backstab like that it's really bloody annoying.
That being said I'm impressed with the above screenshots and I look forward to the release whenever it comes out (take your time to make sure you're happy with it before releasing and never give out ETAs because Murphy's law will always cause something to happen)

Exactly. Those are the 5 games with the updates. Basically with the fix anything loaded in the secure partition is loaded, so you can put games or do some weird stuff like an xci of redirectors or make custom movies nsp files for each season of a tv series and then put it in the xci, it'll load the seasons independently. You can also make an xci of only updates for different games.
Then you put a custom control nca in the normal partition so SX detects the custom icon name, you don't put the meta so a placeholder isn't created. It'll load any game/updates/dlc content and it'll load "update tickets" it won't load game or dlc tickets so you still need to erase the titlerights if you don't want to install the [lc].nsp files.
Basically i'm eager to release this to see which ideas people came with for this function.

They work independently, yes. If I didn't make myself clear

Does the final XCI show the correct version or will it show the base version?
It depends, for normal games if you don't put anything in "normal" it shows updated version. For weird collections it shows one of the games at random (whichever way it chooses it)
There comes the trick I thought of. You see the normal partition was thought so onld FW can read and install the placeholder for the game, so it takes preference. If you put a normal and meta nca it will install the placeholder but if you only put a control nca it will show the icon, name... for that control nca but the placeholder won't get installed when you load the game (It can't without the meta nca).
So make a custom control nca and you can have a "Custom icon, name, version ...) if you want in the loader.
Then games inside will retain their icons, data information, update version... It's a really interesting thing the xci files can let you do.
So it seems the several games in a xci was intentional by Nintendo's part. Hasbro's game night uses this same trick XD
It's funny how it released a few days after I figured out it was possible. BTW the game detected in Hasbro's is Monopoly as it doesn't put anything in the normal partition.
Program is progressing well with a few bugs here and there, I hope i can give you something to play with soon.

Is it possible it could be released this weekend or maybe in the next few days? Not in a rush just curious
