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.

Hey all,

Thanks for having me here! I recently started Emulation again, and it's been so nostalgic for me! One game in particular is Digimon World: Next Order! I remember when I beat it and went through the grind of leveling my digimon and getting the stats I wanted for my favorite digimon evolutions each time! Now that I have downloaded both the .XCI and .NSP file formats of the game I noticed some codes work only on the .NSP formwat whereas some codes work on the .XCI format. Codes like MAX TP works in the .XCI and not the NSP. However, max stat codes woul work fine on the .NSP and not the .XCI so it's hard to know which codes or file format of the game I should use since I am lookig to bundle the codes under one file format of the game and save space on my PC. Still new to the whole cheat stuff but man, it;s been hella fun plaything these games again on PC with a head start! Thanks again for your time and reading this!

Regards
