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.

MHR Sunbreak v16.0.1 screen freeze on "Checking Addon Content"

Hi,
I have MHR Sunbreak v16.0.1 on AMS 1.5.5, my CFW is 16.0.3.
I used different nsp files from different sites : for the base game, the sunbreak expansion v16.0.1 and the DLCs. My sigpatches are up to date.
Depending on the site, sometimes i'm getting a pack of 235 DLCs, or 251, or even 264, but in the end the number of DLCs is irrelevant as i always get stuck on the "Checking Addon Content" screen when i launch the game. The screen simply freezes, and i end up getting an error message that sends me back to the Home screen.
However, if i only install the base game and the expansion v16.0.1, i can play without any issue.
I use Awoo Installer v1.3.4 or 1.3.5, and i install stuff directly from my PC with a USB cable. I didn't try Goldleaf or Tinfoil because they don't solve the problem according to some other people who posted on the internet.
I've been looking for a way to solve this problem for about 2 days now (yes, really). I could only find 2 threads on Reddit that discuss this specific issue. Both threads recommended that i go to the maintenance mode, turn off the console and reboot it.
I did it and it didn't solve anything.
I tried installing those DLCs one by one, litteraly, but there are more than 200 for crying out loud. If i stumble on a DLC that freezes the console, i have to uninstall and reinstall **everything** from the start.
Please, help me find a solution to this nightmare.
How can i make those DLCs work?!
