Just thought I would share since I couldn't seem to get a clear answer from anyone. 59 with .nsp or 55 before .nsp for devmenu, and it seems the sky is the limit for tinfoil, which probably means same for tx os since they used tinfoils source for their NSP installer.

I was trying to figure out a good way to rename files to specific length and found the following -

This is great as it will batch rename to specific file-lengths. Its bad because I couldn't find any logic that would allow me to script finer details. Optimally, I would prefer to cut out titleid first, but leave in update revision.

Examples -

Original
ACA NEOGEO GAROU MARK OF THE WOLVES [0100cb2001db8][v0].nsp

What works on devmenu -
ACA NEOGEO GAROU MARK OF THE WOLVES [0100cb2001db8000][.nsp

What I would prefer -
ACA NEOGEO GAROU MARK OF THE WOLVES [0100cb2001db8][v0].nsp

Priority should be first the first starting 20 ish characters of the time, second priority is keeping v0 / v65555 or whatever the update revision is. If removing titleid is not enough, then start at where the first bracket of titleid would have been and work backwards towards the start of the filename removing characters until you've gotten beneath the 59 character threshhold.

Thoughts? And anyone good with batch that can think of a logical way to do the above?

    @Xdqwerty No you heard wrong, and don't believe till you experience yourself. Fallout 4 is one of my favorite games of all time. Yes it had issues early on, esp with older hardware like the xbox1, but it is awesome, esp now being 4k on Series S/X or PS5

    @BigOnYa, Then i think people were talking about fallout 76
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    that one was buggy too
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea you right there, fallout 76 was a letdown, but it not that bad now, they have fixed slot of issues they had at launch. Biggest issue with Fallout 76 is its a pay to advance further type of game, which sucks
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, I may probably download fallout 3 or new vegas on my ps3
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

    New Vegas is awesome, F3 was ok too.
