Hacking Gaming ROM Hack Cannot download Zelda: BOTW

[Reickun]

Sup, i have made a thread like this before and i stated that Zelda game was working fine after using awoo installer. Well now there is some bad news about it. After downloading emummc and downloading games from DBI, everything seemed to work pretty fine. But when i got to BOTW game, well it didn't go pretty well. tinfoil downloads it well but its just stuck on a loading screen(not frozen, not crashing, just loading for a looooooong time), DBI disconnects or has a problem downloading (it was something like a corrupt file i think?) and awoo installer just gives an error that usb transfer had failed/timed out. The weird thing about this is, i accidentally downloaded TOTK instead of BOTW, and it just worked perfectly fine no issues no crashes. Can't tell if i am downloading corrupted files or something wrong with the downloading softwares? Help a brother out will you guys?

If DBI is saying the file is corrupt, perhaps it's actually corrupt and that's why it's also causing problems with Tinfoil and Awoo. Run it through this app: https://github.com/julesontheroad/NSC_BUILDER

Select option 1 for individual file processing
Choose whichever method you want to select your game file
Select 1 to start processing
Select 8 to verify files
Select 3 for decryption + signature + HASH verification (slow)

View log in the NSCB directory under INFO\MASSVERIFY

quick question how do i install this properly? it is asking for keys.txt and i don't seem to be able to fix that issue


i seem to have forgotten to add this, i HAVE downloaded BOTW from awoo, but it seems that some contents are missing. it had the same error that it had at almost %96 of the way, so now the game does open but it is stuck on loading as it was for tinfoil.

rename your prod.keys file to keys.txt and then place it in the ztools folder inside the nscb directory

i seem to not have that file. i am downloading stuff to emummc so, it is not present in the switch/nintendo folder. also the error from dbi is file CRC error on the 2nd registeration

You can dump it with Lockpick RCM https://github.com/Kofysh/Lockpick_RCM/releases

Alright, done it and it has said that NSP file is corrupt, what to from here now? do i search for a new rom or is there a way to fix it through something?

No way to fix it. You need a different one.
