Hacking observations of SXOS and XCI files

[DocKlokMan]

The issue with card2 games is that the backup loader app loads the icon and title name from the XCI directly (as the system commands to do so only work on the cartridge slot) and they are pulling the info from the Normal partition. In card2 games the Normal partition is empty. I bet if they mounted the XCI file anyway it would probably work.

They could fix this by reading the icon and title from the Secure partition instead which works on both card1 and card2. They could also add a fallback icon and read the title from the file name for XCI files that cannot be read just so you could mount them at least.

Their original method of cycling the games with L/R on the Home Screen probably would have worked fine too.

Wild Guns and Megaman Collection didnt show up here either.

Im running switch fw 1.0.0 and SX OS 1.0.

Games that need a higher fw show up ok, and asks to update (wich i didnt do, obviously).

Mega Man shows up just fine for me on 5.1

Spaces are a non issue.
I tend to not use any special characters in the filenames as they can be seen differently on various OSses. (OSX, Windows, Horizon)

Beside that only card 2 games are not working, as in not showing up.
They might simply just work, but not sure how to test that.

And some specific titels have issues; Fifa 18, LA Noire
All in all the backup functionality is not that bad for SX OS.
I would like if the homebrew support was better though ... that still is rather iffy on 1.1 (when console is on 5.1)
