Hi there. I already know there’s just one pc app called romfs explorer. And here’s the link.
https://gbatemp.net/threads/tools-switch-toolbox.478249/

But unfortunately it just recognizes if the game comes with istorage extension.

So my question is can I convert nsp/xci files into istorage extension? Or is there any app can makes me explore nsp/xci as romfs?


Thanks for trying to help me out.

Unpack xci/nsp to nca using hactool then unpack nca to have romfs.bin (also using hactool) and open romfs.bin using romfs explorer.

How to completely extract Switch games so you can explore them using the Windows Explorer:
1. Dump all keys needed by following https://gbatemp.net/threads/lockpick-switch-key-derivation-homebrew.525575/
2. Download latest hactoolnet from https://github.com/Thealexbarney/LibHac/releases and copy it's exe to the folder containing your NSP/XCI files
3. Open CMD and enter: mkdir "%USERPROFILE%/.switch" & start "" "%USERPROFILE%/.switch"
4. Copy your prod.keys, title.keys and console.keys in the folder created and opened in the last step
5 (for NSP). Shift Rightclick => Open CMD (or open powershell and enter cmd) and enter: hactoolnet.exe -t pfs0 --outdir out filename.nsp & for /r %i in (out\*.nca) do hactoolnet.exe --section0dir %i_section0 --section1dir %i_section1 --section2dir %i_section2 --section3dir %i_section3 %i
5 (for XCI). Shift Rightclick => Open CMD (or open powershell and enter cmd) and enter: hactoolnet.exe -t xci --updatedir out --normaldir out --securedir out --logodir out filename.xci & for /r %i in (out\*.nca) do hactoolnet.exe --section0dir %i_section0 --section1dir %i_section1 --section2dir %i_section2 --section3dir %i_section3 %i
