Hello.. using build1.0.1b,
i have both base and update NSP. Game is "Mario Strikers: Battle League"
Base (eShop) - NSP - 1.87GB
Update 1.1.1 - NSP - 327MB

Try to merge into XCI single File. but got UNKNOWN.xci. These issue not occur on Mario Kart 8.
Steps :
1. Choose 2 - Multi pack mode
2. Choose i - see files to process. *previously jobs already drag the file
3. Check Files to process. Its correct, base NSP and UPD NSP.
4. Choose 1 - Start processing current list
5. Choose 2 - Repack as XCI
6. Choose 0 - don't patch required system version
7. Choose 1 - MERGE all files into single file
8. Wait process
9. On NSCB_output got UNKNOWN.xci

Xci isn't the issue. Xci is just the format of a rip of a physical game. Nsp's are a rip of eshop games. xci was mainly used for mounting on sx os. so since sx os died at ofw 11.0, xci became "obsolete".

i cant remember if the last update of NScbuilder did this, but there was a new "format" for nsp's bout 6 months ago. so more than likey that new "format" isnt supported by nscbuilder.

i would try SAK (switch Army Knife)

EDIT; also, you should be able to do all that to a nsp if i remember correctly, but im not 100% since i havent merged updates, dlc and base game in a long time since i find it easer to keep everything separate for maintaining updates for games

That's absolutely wrong, XCI and NSP are just different formats that can both handle the same
and has absolutely nothing to do with physical or eShop version.

i see... So any other way to merge file Base + Update / DLC into 1 file? *except XCI format.
So you don't want XCI because you still use SXOS ? Then please FORGET XCI.
If you still use SXOS, you can't play most of the new games because the need newer SDK that requires newer FW then 11 !
FW 13 includes SDK 13 etc. You can't play a SDK 13 game on FW 11, no chance.
So Mario Strikers: Battle League would never work with SXOS.

Of cource, simply in another NSP including all:
- Most importantly is always to use the newest keys, so now from FW 14.
- Use the 2nd mode MULTI-PACK.
- To add base+update+dlcs you have to drop a FOLDER with everything inside. NOT the files themself !
- Now 1 for start processing current list, again 1 for Ticketless NSP (or 2 for XCI) etc...

Is working fine with NSCB v1.01b + Mario Strikers: Battle League, NSP & XCI, tested it a sec ago.

To combine base + update + dlc, you need to install everything in the emulator (ryujinx or yuzu).Through it, dump folders exefs,romfs,logo. From update, extract the folder control. Next,collect nsp which will be smaller than base + update + dlc

Yes, great explanation, on switch, there’s no “backport” solutions like on PS4

@medeka Has it worked now ?
Its worked now.

but some different steps / methods,
- change with new prod.keys (download using emusak) *prod.keys rename to keys.txt

- Add / drop 1 file at the time and then press enter, not all file or Folder. (all files on 1 folder btw).
*Also i have issue NSCB not print path (empty) of my file when drop files / folder (ex: D:/Switch/Games/[FileName.NSP) to NSCB, and NSCB will crash / closed when press enter. so i need type the path file manually. Using build 1.0.1b and 1.0.1

- Try not change filename and result is success (Mario Strikers Battle League [010019401051C800][v131072][US].nsp). previously the filename is "Mario Striker BASE.nsp"

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
