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 need help with the following error.

A little bit of background... I haven't used my modded switch for like 2 years and I decided to boot it up again today. I pretty much have forgotten what all the apps I have installed do, and me being very dumb decided to update them all. So once they were all updated I started them up one for one to see what they were for. When I got to the theme changer (I think it was NXThemeInstaller or something like that) I got a message saying something in the lines of "The version of the program does not match. Do you want to extract the home folder?". To which I tapped "Yes". Then atmosphere crashed and now I'm stuck in this screen. I haven't done anything else to avoid fucking up things even more (rebooting doesn't do anything).
I hope this is enough information, in case it's not I'll try my best to provide anything necessary.
