I suppose it gives me errors since it'd come from a developer system, I'm not going to name it since that probably doesn't fly here but it's been reported amongst a few others within the last 24 hours.
It only works on a custom build of ryujinx but I want to install it on my switch, but I usually get invalid NCA magic error on awoo/dbi and similar on goldleaf.
if I disable nca signature on awoo it crashes my system nearly instantly when installing. Masagrator has told me that I'd have to repack the ncas to use my product keys. I'm not sure what the best process is for that and anyhow I can't really get much out of the nsp so far but I tried Ultimate hactool GUI which didn't work out too well, told me something about an invalid title id even though that's the right one for the game I believe.
I also tested if my own keys from my switch would work with the prototype on that custom ryujinx build, and they did so I don't think that should be an issue

Edit: I've figured out how to extract exefs and romfs with ryujinx, I've tried hactool and hacpack, a python script to make an nsp, haven't really found success with any of them, but I have access to those now as well as the ncas

could you link me to this custom build? I'm pretty sure we are both trying to do the same thing here.

EDIT: I spent the better part of a few hours unpacking the NCAs from one of these, and rebuilding with Hacpack and NSPack and the NSP I always end up with doesn't want to function due to lack of Program NCA which, of course isn't true, so I'm not real sure what I'm doing wrong here.

Did you want assistance with the process?
tbh, I'd just like a ready to install (retail compatible) NSP of Retro Studios' cancelled game

But sharing warez is against the rules

The idea of installing a bunch of programs of unknown origin on my PC doesn't sound very appealing

I tried setting up a VM before just for this, but it was very slow + laggy even tho my PC is pretty good to the point where I just gave up

So basically... I am good, but thank you for the offer
