Homebrew Question NSP to XCI...why not?

[Khar00f]

Good day everyone,

I was wondering as we've seen many XCI 2 NSP tools, outs the a reason why the reverse is not a thing?

I haven't seen a single software that actually does NSP 2 XCI, anything preventing this from happening from a technical standpoint or is it just a lack of interest from the dev?

I'm fully aware of the pros and cons of each format but even with a format being more popular over another the devs don't usually skip development for that reason, anything is a challenge in its own for them.

Just wondering, share your thoughts,

Thank you,

NSP 2 XCI programs are out there. It's just that XCI files only work on paid SX OS devices at the moment. So its just not as big of a crowd.

Thank you,

Looks like a long process, everything seems so simple with NSP files everything seems automated but there seems to be a new complexity layer when it comes to XCI's.
