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.

I was wondering how one could get the add-on pack to zelda BOTW with a dump and the os sx? My console is currently banned so I can not boot normally and install it.

Download the updates and DLC offline via your piracy tool of choice and install them using Rommenu, DevMenu, or Tinfoil (recommended).

I found nsps of the DLC at "one of those iso" sites and it seems to work fine with the main game running as an XCI. You need the game updated to 1.5? (whatever the latest is) too, which if you don't already have it and can't get it legit anymore, is also available as an nsp at the same site. It all installs just fine in SXOS. But I'm not banned, not sure if that would matter once you're downloading stuff from those sites tho.

All I see is 100 links for cemu. That download will not work AFAIK. Funny, even when I own the game I still need piracy to do some thing LOL. Well aside from pirating the swtich I'm legit, anyways.
