Create NSP from switch SD

[pcartwright81]

I have tried hactoolnet, and various other solutions on the forum with no joy. I am trying to create NSP files for all installed titles on an SD. I have all keys. Also I would like to verify ones I already have. Thank you!

dbi. dbi for everything.

anything you want to do, you can do with dbi. no idea why anyone ever uses anything else.

run dbi, connect to your pc, start mtp, copy nsp from installed games folder.

Does the switch literally just run the nsp file? I thought when you install an nsp it copies the contents of the nsp to a folder. You don’t have to rebuild an nsp from files it installs on the switch?

Yes. On installing nsp is unpacked and stored as nca files. DBI recreate nsp virtually on the fly when you copy it from installed storage.

I tried DBI and ran into the 4gb limit of exFat for some of the bigger titles.

fat32 has the 4gig limit but can use nxdumptool and it will dump into nsp and split the nsp into parts. then can reinstalled in parts via various homebrew

Dbi hat no file size limits.

So you are saying it worked for some but not for all? What error did you see that makes you believe you ran into a file system error?

Dont drag nsp into SD card. Drag nsp into SD Install or NAND install.
