Homebrew RELEASE GUI for NSP Forwarder tool for 12+

[EddCase]

Thank you, that’s likely the issue, I did create the forwarder with an é in pokémon. Ahh I did not realise the image was like that, I will try converting it myself but an error would definitely help in this case. Thank you for your continued support on this tool, it’s fantastic <3

No problem at all, it's nice to get feedback so I can try and improve on it, I have a working v0.6 that now checks for and gives error messages about file path length and when the image conversion fails, it also gives you the option to open the supplied images in MSPaint so you can save it back out as a format the tool does support.

I've not had a chance to see if there's anything I can do about the " " issue its 3am here now and I really need to sleep

Oh here's a converted and working image if you want it

 

[pcwizard7]

What version of the tool are you using? The "?" normally means there's an issue with the icon you used, version 0.5 "Should" have fixed that by resizing all images to the correct size and format. if you are using 0.5 can you supply the icon image and setting you are using in the menu so I can take a look

I m using v5 and i supply the icon below. Could you give the right image settings to be a correct image?

There's nothing wrong with that image

I've spent 5 hours trying to fix the issue where Title or Author names containing non ASCII characters (such as the é in Pokémon) show with " " surrounding them and I'm going to admit semi defeat on this one.

I'll upload version 0.6 shortly the main changes are

• Added error checks on Path Lengths above 256 Characters long to Icon, Logo and Prod.key browse dialogs
• Added error check that Icon and Logo images are converted correctly
• Added option to open Icon and Logo in MSPaint as a sanity check also adds the suggestion to save out as a png, MSPaint Seems to be less fussy over filee types than the fuctions built into AutoIt
• Added changelog & known issues to Script

Thank you, I'll just create my forwarders without those characters for now. It's not really a big deal, just a nice qol feature to have.

No nsp output using and following everything posted in the first page.

I made the menu using Autoit instead of using the zipped one worked fine not sure if it makes any difference. Also try naming the icon filename with short name e.g. icon.jpeg

My icon is exactly named icon.jpg, 256x256pixels and 47kb in size.

I tried Swiss Army Knife https://github.com/dezem/SAK and this did it for me.

Thanks.

Odd, I Thought I'd ironed out these issues, could you take a screenshot of the gui when you're about to try and create the forwarder so can can get an idea of what might be happening please? Also if you can include your Icon and Logo files it would be appreciated

could you please Provide a screen shot of the GUI and Supply your Logo and Icon files, I can't try and improve the software if I can't figure out where it's going wrong

It's funny, last night I deleted the folder and I tried to create one and it worked, but from that moment on I can't create more, even if I delete the folder and start from the beginning it always opens the empty nsp folder, I have tried to find a log to know what is happening and can not find it.

Thank You, I'm not going to have a chance to look at this today, could you try Entering the Name without the "-" So "The Legend of Zelda The Minish Cap" Just wondering if the - is causing issues. The other thing to try would be to run the gui as admin Right click it and run as admin, I'm just thinking depending on where you're running it from it might need admin permissions to write to the folders.

If you'd rather not run as admin, try copying all the files to a folder on your desktop and run it from there, you should have full write permissions to that folder.


Adding this to the first line of the script file and rebuilding it would make the menu ask for admin permission on each run

#RequireAdmin

Thanks for the info, but no, i try to make diferent nsp and always the same result: Open the nsp folder, but empty.

Example 1:

FBA
Nintendo
040139530AD88000
Y:\Nintendo Switch\Homebrew\NSP-Forwarder-master\Icono2.png
/switch/pfba/pfba.nro

Example 2:
HBMENU
Noentiendo
040137530FG81300
Y:\NSP-Forwarder-master\Icono3.png
/hbmenu.nro

Always the same result: Open the nsp folder when finish, but empty folder.

I have tried anyway, on different computers, with W10, W7, 32,64bits ... and I can't get it to work for me.
But a very strange thing happened, only on 1 occasion, I managed to create one, and I was able to install it with Goldleaf, it was this way:

HbMenu
Nintendo
040137530FG81300
Y:\NSP-Forwarder-master\hbmenu.png
/hbmenu.nro

It was while doing different tests, but then I tried to generate the same one and I couldn't. If i can see a LOG, i may know what is happening, but I can't find any in the program folder.

I think i try almoust everything... diferents icons, diferents nro´s, diferent folders, diferent programs versions, with admin rights, without it.... and nothing seems to work.

What surprises me the most is that it has worked for me only once. So my keys are correct, and the requirements on my pc too ... I don't understand what's happening ...

Any ideas? Thanks for the reply.

Thank you for the update and the detail you provided. I'll have a think and see if there is anything else I can think of..

Invalid titleid

Invalid titleid

You are right...... its the title id!! Something I can fix....

Can anyone confirm the format the switch requires?


Found This

List of Switch homebrew titleID - WikiTemp, the GBAtemp wiki

I'll make some changes to the titleid generation.. New version out in a few.

New version 0.7 should be uploaded in a minute

So what I can gather is that official TitleID's all start 01 and end with either an even number then 000 for games, an odd number the 000 for DLC's or 0800 for Updates.

My new Number generation will start 02-09 and end 2000 so fingers crossed they will now all be valid. Thank you again for pointing me at the error.

Edit: Version 0.7 Uploaded, hopefully this will work for everyone now

Same result... I dont know whats happening.

version 0.7 worked for me, but I had to put my prod.keys on the desktop, previously I directed them from a folder on the desktop, causing it not to work.
