Homebrew RELEASE NSP in-place firmware version patcher

[rrocha]

No unpacking, no repacking. Directly on your NSP. It's now blazing fast due to the re-use of some of the hactool code in order to obtain direct file offset, hence speeding up the pattern search. Comments regarding where the hactool code start and end are there to give credit where it's due. Big shout to @SciresM for the great tool.

Depends only on Boost library.
I'll not provide other pre-compiled versions for your platform.

g++ yourcode.cpp -lboost_system -lboost_iostreams -std=c++11​

Use with caution, backup your files first.

Does it work with updates and dlc?

 

[rrocha]

probably not as it uses the same method as the one described here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/play-ns...e-reinx-hactool-tinfoil-extracted-nsp.512921/.
but I haven't tried it.
