Without the Delta's it's at around 35gb, sx sees it, but doesn't mount it.

Thank you! Your work is very much appreciated.

Any ETA for that new build which can strip out the update check for newer games that require firmware 6.0 and higher? Lots of eshop stuff I'd like to try but obviously unable to because I'm still using 5.1.0 and don't really want to update.

Yep as they told you this version patches the required firmware. Still since Tuesday new updates are encrypted with 6.0-6.1 keys.
This is the case of Bendy, where game asks for 5.X and update for 6.0-6.1 When I say asks I mean that is encrypted for that version.

YESSSSSSSSSS!

No idea what I'm doing wrong. I always get "File not found" error message. I tried different folders for the xci file and the program, even put it on C:\, I tried different PCs, I tried different Python versions and renaming files. Always get a "File not found" error message while trying to convert from .xci to .nsp in auto mode and manual mode. Output is a few kb with nothing in it.

It seems some of my lines still gave issues with spaces in the program's route. If you had spaces there try with the current github master, I was reported the issue and given a fix for that. I just uploaded and tested it:

Hi JRoad to begin thanks for this program you help a lot the hack domain of the switch, now i have a problem with the last version (0.6.5) i have tested to pack Minecraft + last update + DLC in a XCI file and when i want charge the XCI on SX OS i have a error of file corrupt i dont know for what. (i have tested too pack only the game + the last update and i have again this error) while with the 0.6.1 of NSC i have no problem.

(sorry if my english is not pretty good)

BTW for auto the normal profile is set to repack as xci and nsp. The one I put for xci is set to only repack as xci if you don't want to change the config.
You can have the 3 profiles together in the same folder or even create new ones.

Thank you!

I'm on 6.1.0

Am I right in thinking bendy xci needs 5.xx but the update needs 6.2.0

But If I combine both to an xci I can make both work on 6.1.0 by using the required system version patch option

No, the update needs 6.0-6.1 all new updates need that. You just need to update to 6.0-6.1.
I tried to change the crypto to 5.X but it doesn't work so it seems to be link to something only present in the new FW6.0-6.1.
So you can play it but need to update either via emunand or in the sysnand.

Basically you have 2 requirements:
1- Requiredsystemversion in the meta is a false requirement so you can patch it or skip it.
2- NCA encryption is a real requirement and refers to the masterkey needed to decrypt it. Also even if you change encryption there can be things linking to the new SDK.
For now new updates since tuesday need 6.0-6.1 so you can play them updating with no issues, the problem will come when they need 6.2.
Till they need 6.0-6.1 you can patch them if they ask for 6.2 or newer firmware.

Ok so at the moment no games or updates require 6.2.0.

If I'm never connected to the internet but by mistake install nsp or play an xci that requires 6.2.0 will I be stuck with an fw update nag. Not worried about updating by mistake as the internet is blocked router side and you can't update via nsp or xci (so far)

Only reason asking is, online source for bendy says

WARNING !!!!! AFTER TEST, GAME AND UPDATE ONLY INSTALL WITH TINFOIL, SINCE THE NINTENDO FIRMWARE 6.2.0 EXIT, SX-OS INSTALLER REQUIRES UPDATE FOR NSP INSTALLATION

So I presumed bendy needed 6.2.0

No, it only needs 6.0, it also doesn't need to patch the meta. It gives issue installing with tinfoil if you need to do the skip from what they told me. Skip isn't needed in this case but if is needed in other cases NCSB will patch the meta for nsp too, i'm also thinking in adding an option to do only that without removing the ticket.

Ok thanks for the info and your work on the app. Very easy to use and works great!

I'm afraid that didn't help. I don't have any spaces in my path so that's not my problem. In the picture I added to this post you can see the cmd output. This was for the "automatic" way by dragging my .xci onto the NSCB.bat. Manual mode is pretty much the same. Dragging the file onto the window gives me a "file not found" error and inputting the path myself too. The output files are a few kb and obviously useless.

Someone reported me this one in discord and works for him imputing the routes to the files directly in the text file list.txt I'm doing some modifications for him to try since it's a really weird error.

So before people asks. This is regarding the new function for patching the meta. We have 2 restrictions:
1.- RequiredSystemVersion: This one can be false if it's bigger than the range of firmawares in the keygeneration used.
2.- keygeneration: It's the cryptography used to encrypt the nca body. If it's bigger than your firmware the nca content won't be able to get decrypted. So keygeneration=5 (FW 5.X); keygeneration 6 (FW 6.0-6.1), keygeneration 7 (FW 6.2)

Now, why is this important?. I'm patching the meta to a fixed value currently (this is because the system version number is not straight forward so to know the range for each keygeneration I'll need to do some investigation) so when patch the xci will try to load but if it requires a bigger crypto it'll give cartridge error.
This is the case of Bendy and the Ink Machine. If you repack it with the update it'll give the error in 5.1 but work in 6.0-6.1, this is because the crypto used is the one from 6.0-6.1 (keygeneration 6)
So I'll try to do some digging and set that to the exact range for each keygeneration but this is so you now that when it fails you better check the real requirements for the update since you just may need to update. As happens when it fails with tinfoil.

Okay so I can tell you that definitely works! Thank you very much. I created a list.txt, put in the path to my .xci and ran the NSCB.bat in manual mode. Finally the program found my .xci and converted it to .nsp without a problem.
