Hello guys, this is my first post here! I just got a MIG Switch card out of curiosity and I was tinkering with it. For those who don't know, it's used by placing XCI dumps as well as other game specific bin files in the sd card of the MIG Switch, and are obtained from the original cartridge by using an app like nxdumptool. Two of these bin files are mandatory to get the game to boot: Initial Data.bin and Certificate.bin. They stay the same for every cartridge of a specific game. Now, if you want to use an XCI dump from a shady website it's impossible to get it to work without those files. By using the Certificate.bin from another game it has no problem, but this does not count for the Initial Data.bin. So I looked for a way to obtain this Initial Data from an XCI file and read a bit of the XCI file documentation from switchbrew dot org. Here's what I understood so far: The Switch checks if the cartridge is valid by doing a challenge–response authentication on the Initial Data. The Package ID is contained both on the XCI and the Initial Data, on positions 0x110 and 0x0 respectively. The Initial Data hash is on the XCI at position 0x160. It is calculated by doing a SHA-256 hash on the full Initial Data content. So I was wondering, is there a way to to construct a functional Initial Data file starting from an XCI dump? I also tried a reverse approach by editing the Package ID in the Initial Data from another game, generating the Initial Data hash and putting it in the XCI file but is not enough to get the Switch believe it's a real game. Sorry if this may seem stupid but let me know what you think.

David Hayter To Voice Solid Snake in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Kept you waiting, huh?!

During its E3 show this year, Nintendo revealed some tantalizing details regarding the upcoming Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, in particular, the fact that every character to have ever made an appearance in the series will be included in the next Smash installment wowed the crowd. This means that Solid Snake, one of the main characters in the Metal Gear series, will once again settle it in Smash. The tactical espionage expert made his last (and only) appearance in the fighting game in 2008’s Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

In addition to the video game franchise in which he is the protagonist of, Snake is also famous for his iconic gruff voice, acted by David Hayter. The latter did not reprise the role in Metal Gear Solid V Ground Zeroes and Metal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain to many fans' (including yours truly) dismay. However upon the query of a fan on twitter, David Hayter said that he will indeed be voicing Snake once again.

Ok...

Yes, it’s me. #SuperSmashBros https://t.co/m7l9ANmPDc

The news was confirmed by Nintendo Treehouse's localization manager, Nate Bihldorff, when interviewed by IGN. However IGN mentioned that Bihldorff "was not able to confirm whether Hayter re-recorded his lines or if Ultimate is using the same audio as Snake’s original appearance in 2008’s Super Smash Bros. Brawl."

I, for one, am very excited to learn that one of the most iconic voices in the video game industry is coming back. How do you feel about this? Do you prefer Hayter or Kiefer Sutherland as the voice of Snake?
