What is xci_header key for?

What is xci_header key for?

Making game_info on the xci header but i used my key to make 2 game_info variations that are used depending on the xci size, using the normal patterns observed on xcis. Aside from that there's a function to read the gameinfo on squirrel but wasn't added to NSCB since that's a key you can't extract from the console.

Happen to check on the Pokemon Sword/Shield issue?

They require a new sdk the patch is not a sure thing.
The list goes by keygeneration and lowers it to the lower fw that represents that keygeneration. So 11 lowers it to 9.1.0, yes. Still if the games use a newer SDK it's possible they require dependencies from the newer firmwares, which is also not a sure thing since ncas with newer sdks are patchable a lot of times too. So it ends as trial and error.

Was waiting to see if cleaning what i told you with DBI fixed your issue.

So if it doesn't work with you with both dlcs i'd say is stucked data. Some people solved that issue deleting all data from settings for the game with stucked data and others did by doing a factory reset, though i think factory reset is too much.

first-time user of this here, and a little out of my depth
I just wanna apply nsp update to an xci as single xci output, all files on local PC - what options do I pick?

The program has some extra options now but you have a video tutorial from grabman in the opening post, specifically in the spoiler.
You also have some video tutorials in youtube. If you still need help after that come again and i'll answer your questions.

JRoad, congrats on the release of v1.00 and its recent updates. I've been using NSCB for around 12 months and its hands down the most useful set of tools for the Switch period! Very exciting to now see the ability to transfer files locally to Switch. Just a question about using exFat formatted uSD cards (yes that boring old subject again...). Developers of Installer apps often warn against using exFat saying the libraries used will ultimately corrupt formatting on exFat formatted cards. Is this also true in your experience, given the direction NSCB is taking?

update:
well I think I can answered my own question. MTP mode copied a 30Gb image across to uSD and automatically split it into 4Gb blocks...time to move to Fat32 ... sigh

Yeah, dbi autoarchives the files and surprisingly not only xcis work that way, movies do too with pplay. It takes away the reason for exfat to some extend.
Glad you liked the new mtp stuff.

 

[duckbill007]

@JRoad, I read MTP specs - Android extensions allows to work with 64-bit file size and offsets, so transferring big files can be performed with exact file size. I wonder - if dbi supports this?

You mean on exfat? I'm currently on fat32 but it does as far as i'm aware. I mean it implemented fine the transfer for files bigger than 4GB from the mtp spec. It's a pretty impresive homebrew tool tbh.

 

[duckbill007]

No, I mean that normal operations such as SEND_OBJECT operates with 32-bit length an offset and sending file this way uses short packet to determine its end, but Android extended operations such as SEND_PARTIAL_OBJECT64 and TRUNCATE_OBJECT operates with 64-bit file length and offset. Also MTP initiator can request property format and responder can tell that file length property is 64-bit.

Also, I looked into libnx, can found out that switch's syscalls uses 64-bit file length and offsets. I think that file splitting is not needed if homebrew uses this FsFile calls and not stdio, which handles only 32-bits.

 

[RJMayhem]

Hey

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. The updates & games are both US. I even deleted my EmuNAND and remade it and even tried 1.2.0 and still crashes. When I make my backups I usually don't copy the certificate with the game could that be it? I'm going to test it with the certs but figured I'd ask before I redo everything and it don't make a difference.

 

[Wobbufffet765]

Okay so I've searched the most 2 recent releases of the tool and for the love of god cannot find this list.txt file it needs to convert to .xci
I've got my keys dumped properly they are 9.5 kbs

 

[syfer]

Would love it if it was nice gui for windows. Mebe you can make one?

 

[bodyXY]

Hey guys, at the moment I dont have access to an windows PC, only linux, I'm not really familiar with linux, how I can run NSC Builder with Linux?

Thanks.

 

[syfer]

HI im stuck i put the error
"keys.txt" is not correctly pointed or is missing.
I have the keys.txt still giving this error.
I am on NSC_Builder v1.00d
HELP

 

[kg2]

Quick question.
Is there any way you can convert from Google drive directly back onto Google drive?
Or must everything be downloaded, converted, and uploaded back to Google drive?

 

[syfer]

Hi I have big problem with with of my game dumps. You see is nsp and when I try to convert here is the message I see

But it has not converted the file and does nothing. I have tried this 64bit and 32bit same results so why is this and can some tell me why it wont convert this one game?
