    It works! Why can't I just put NX Game in NX Game folder along with prod.keys file in it ? It won't work but put them in /Users/yourname like Download directory on macOS and it works.

    iirc because the app is sandboxed, so "current" directory will be different than what you expected to be
    the general approach was to put supporting files somewhere else. the most common way was to put it in /Users/yourname/Library/Application Support/applicationname but I felt that using /Users/yourname/.switch is more straightforward (and this approach also being used in other app such as hactool)

    I understand. Maybe you can do that for directory ? I like to make a folder for it and put them inside it at Downloads directory.

    I tried to scan all of them in NSP include dlc files and works okay. And I scan all of them in .XCI files and it crashes.

    the path needs to be predefined in the app, so basically I need to choose 1 specific path that works for everyone. custom path is not possible, sorry

    are they proper XCI dumps or converted from NSP?
    if they are proper XCI dumps, let me know the game name so I can check

    They are all properly XCI.. No converted at all.

    I open Directory in NX and scan XCI files on my external hard drive where all XCI files stored. They crashes immediately. :unsure:

    I open Directory to where clean NSP files (no converted from XCI either) stores in other folder in external hard drive and scanned and verify all passed.

    can you try open just 1 xci file and see if it crashes? I'm guessing maybe there's a corrupted xci in the directory and the app crashes when opening that one
    also please send me your debug.log

    thanks for the info :)

    I'm not sure how to determine if an xci is corrupted, but I do know how to with an nsp. however, the app, nsp verify, throws a false positive for nsp games or updates that have been modified to work on lower firmware. I have all of my unverified nsp files in a separate folder atm.

    One xci file works and no crashes. All of them at once crashes.

    I think I know why.

    Title.keys
    Console.keys (What's that?)

    Are they the reason I need ?

    I think not.. Correct me if I am wrong. It doesn't matter because if one XCI file works fine then why not all of them ?

    Yes, converted xci work in macOS. I did before.

    you can tell what's converted with switch backup manager. it will say that the origin is xci. that's in case you downloaded the files. I have my converted files in a separate folder. I don't know much about exploiting the switch, just enough to get all of my bought games downloaded and checked.

    you don't need to worry about console.keys for now. that's for Open SD Card option, see https://github.com/garoxas/LibHac/blob/NX_Game_Info/KEYS.md#console-unique-keys if you're interested

    as I said before, if there's 1 corrupted xci in that directory and the app doesn't know to handle that, it may throw an error causing the app to crash
    unless you're willing to test all xci files that you have one by one and see which one causing the issue, unfortunately there's no way for me to narrow down the issue. sorry

    wait what? you'll only get that error message if your prod.keys is empty (or no correct keys in it)

    Thank you. I deleted console.keys anyway. I go ahead and highlight them all by Open file at once. Everything is good. Thanks.

    Something is wrong. Now it is not working. I used old version and it works but the latest version aren't.

    I have NX Game Info (the latest version) and prod.keys (The latest version) in the same directory. And I got the message:

    try put prod.keys in /Users/yourname/.switch and see how it goes. and when you said latest version, does that mean the one from release page (released almost a year ago) or did you build from source?

    A stable release version of 0.7.1. You are right. It works now. Sorry to pull you in for the trouble.

    And I have an idea.. Maybe you can drag and drop on it instead of going to file to find it ? It would be easier. What do you think ?

    that would be neat idea, thanks. I'll consider it whenever I find the mood to update the app
