Is there some sort of tool to fix an nca header signature issue. I was playing around with SAK and converting files around between different formats (XCZ, NSP, NSZ). On some conversions, I get "nca header signature verification failed with status <<invalid>>" when checking it with NXViewer. Maybe something that allows you to edit it manually to become proper or allows you to repair it?

Hash shows valid for all files.

No because this requires Nintendo private keys that never leaked.
Thanks for the answer. Just what I was looking for. So confirmed it cannot be done.

Is there possibly something that converts xci to nsp and to nsz's while keeping signature in tact?

You can convert nsp to nsz and xci to xcz without breaking signatures

i doubt this. afaik, the process to convert from nsp to nsz is
decrypt-compress-reencrypt
because compression works best for unencrypted data.
Therefore the contents are modified and the signature is broken.
Same for xci-xcz.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
