Homebrew RELEASE Legal NSP splitter for FAT32

[Chocola]

If the filename use spaces then use quotes surrounding the filename, example:

py splitNSP.py "File with space on his name.nsp"

If it not work you can remove the spaces renaming the nsp.

Very good work.
Is this python script also compatible in linux ??

Seems that script aren't ready to allow spaces on the file paths:

1. Create a folder on C:// called nsps, then move the python script and the nsp file to this folder
2. Rename the nsp file, sustitute spaces with another character, _ for example
3. Open cmd and run: cd C://nsps
4. Then run the script: py splitNSP.py my_nsp_file.nsp

I'm not the author of this tool, the paths with spaces should be fixed by him

Tried moving the script and nsp file to the c drive in a path without spaces as well as changed the nsp filename to match, but I still get the same error.

Then it's a bug of the script, I can't try it at this moment but the error said "file not found" it's like the script can't rearch the nsp filehttps://gbatemp.net/members/analogman.75506/

I can see there's actually a similar error being reported, but let me throw my documented error on here anyway so we can try and debug it. So I downloaded python 3.7 and installed it, then since it didn't modify my path variable I just manually call the full path of python 3.7. Here's what happens:

Any ideas?

Edit: I'm on Windows 7 if that matters. The homebrew directory is on a 1TB usb drive that I've used for the past few years.

Can you try using the full path to the NSP? I didn't test it on Windows but the command should be available for both Unix and Windows. if it works when you provide the full path then I'll know what's wrong and can put up a revised version.

EDIT: Try the latest version v1.0.1 and let me know if the issue is resolved.

I can't get the switch to recognize the resulting folder. It splits the NSP successfully and the archive bits are set on the split files, but when I copy the folder to the /tinfoil/nsp folder and then open tinfoil it sees nothing in the nsp folder

 

[bluedart]

Using full quoted filenames for all of them got it to start properly, as it's saying that it's "calculating number of splits..." and "splitting NSP into 3 parts...". It'll probably be a while, but I think I'm on the right track. Did not try the newest revision, was the absolute path bit all you changed?

Edit: Program finished with "NSP successfully split!" Quick question however: When you say "change the archive bit" does opening the folder properties with Alt+Enter, clicking "Advanced" and then ticking the "Folder is ready for archiving" option achieve what you are aiming for? Also, when it prompts me to apply that to the files under said directory should I do so or leave the flag unchanged for them?

 

[M7L7NK7]

are they supposed to be called 00, 01 etc with no file extension?

 

[lordelan]

Fantastic tool, thank you very much!

I was wondering the same.

Tested the 1.0.1 version with Just Dance 2017 and works great, i just dragged and dropped the .nsp above the .py file and enabled archiving in the folder's properties it created.

Installed with Tinfoil 15fcd94 (latest build from lavatech right now) and the game is playing fine, i also checked for corruption from system settings and it showed no errors.

Thanks for releasing this!

I used the second option to apply to the folder, sub-folders and files as well, worked fine here.

Correct, that is what setting the archive flag on the folder means. Only the folder needs the flag, files inside don't need it.

Yes.

See above.

 

[Billy Acuña]

Once the folder is made and the archive flag is set

Any reason why this isn't done by the script itself?

 

[DocKlokMan]

Yes. Setting the archive flag needs admin privileges (meaning you'd need to run the script as admin) plus there's no one python command that sets the archive flag on both Windows and Unix (it would need to detect which you are using and import / use different functions for each) and lastly, on some OS's like macOS even if you set the archive flag on the folder the flag is erased when copied to a FAT32 partition. I don't feel like adding a feature that only works on some operating systems and not others.

 

[NoNAND]

Nice. Hopefully you add a gui

 

[Che007]

@AnalogMan:
Regarding the archive flag. You can remove it with on Mac:

sudo chflags -r arch /Volumes/sdcard

 

[Shinryuu]

Works like a champ! Thanks for the tool.

 

[Brandon Golway]

Does anyone know how to set the archive flag on the folder when using Linux? Stupid Windows 10 won't even recognize my 350 GB FAT32 partition, even though the Switch or Linux has no issues with it.

Edit: Here's how to do it, works like a charm! https://linlog.skepticats.com/entries/2007/10/Editing_FAT32_file_attributes.php
