This tool is built on simple bat command that calls the PowerShell to convert existing nca files to work for Daybreak.
Modified daybreak.ps1 file is already embedded within the .exe of the program. The source came from antiKk script of converting NCA files.
I will not update this program unless parts of it are no longer working because this will soon be obsolete when converted nca files would be readily available online.

Requirements: Use google search because I will not provide any links for the following.
hactool.exe
prod.keys
switch firmware files

Instructions:
1. Just place the hactool.exe and prod,keys together with the daybreak NCA converter.exe
2. Make a new folder and place all nca firmware files inside. Rename the new folder as firmware
3. Run the Daybreak nca converter.exe

Note: It is important to use the latest prod.keys to decrypt the latest firmware. Disregard the failed to match keys because this is an error caused by certain keys that cannot be decrypted from the prod.keys.

I dumped a firmware with a homebrew tool as well as grabbing mine from the pending update folder but I keep getting failed to match key on every single one. My prod.keys is from 11.0.1 and i'm trying to convert 12.0.0. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong?

The failed to match key messages are normal and not a problem, your keys file contains extra keys that hactool doesn't know, but it doesn't matter. Are there any other error messages in there? Did the files actually get renamed?

it renamed 83 of them but when trying them back with daybreak it says validation failed 0x00000202, missing content program id : 0100000000000003d,version 12.0.0, content id:d8617ad0dcf4f0a5072b24a16d1ed5cb

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    That's what kind of bothers me. People asking the same question from decades ago. It's like a cycle going round and round. If they can't be arsed to search something so simple and easy to identify, then I can't think for words.
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    the problem is, it is a regular chat channel, discord had forum channels for quite a while now, but the server doesn't have any
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    I literally joined expecting to find something specific because their troubleshooting and faq pages are lacking a lot of information
    +1
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    but since they don't have forums it is kinda hard, a lot of messages are either outdated or related to other conversations
    +1
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Oof. That's not looking good. Would be good if they at least put some FAQ & troubleshooting pages up; rather than ask somebody who clearly knows very little about the subject.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Outdated stuff that involves hardware modifications is always a bad idea.
  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    I literally only have 500 mb left on my ssd
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    yes, I was specifically looking for more information about the wifi firmware while running ubuntu, their faq is extremely vague on that
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    @kijetesantakalu042 delete your hentai folder
  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    @NinStar I store that on google drive. Not my hard drive
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    I once had a shared folder on google drive, one of the collaborators was putting porn on it with the file names and extensions all changed to avoid suspicion
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    took me a while to realize
  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    I have it on a shared folder so the other person will be blamed if someone finds out
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @kijetesantakalu042, Just don't store it on Google Drive, ok? Put it in your MEGA folder.
  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    I don't use meganx
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @kijetesantakalu042, I use MEGA, has a lot more storage compared to what Google offers.
  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    Honestly I just want a bigger ssd or extra hard drive
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @kijetesantakalu042, Have something larger like a 1TB SSD, it's about enough for mostly everything you need.
  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    I just have a 512 gb and I'm saving for my computer build when I finally have more space so I can't really invest in a ssd
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    I only really use my ssd for things I'm constantly accessing on my computer
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    everything else goes to my hdd
  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    I only have an ssd
