Im getting to run the game, but when I select cotton 2 to load the game I want I get an error message twice, and a black void screen, the options and everything else seems to work just tha the game doesnt load... Im trying to play dragon force...
I followed the intructions...Sounds like a cue problem. Make sure you have BIN file name in it exactly right.
Thanks for this. I've generated the uncompressed GF folder but not sure what to do now I've read all 40 pages of this thread several times...I just managed, here are the steps:
- Download Ultimate-Switch-Hack-Script from github
- Install Guardian Force - Saturn Tribute NSP on your switch (I failed using Cotton2, Guardian worked)
- After the title was installed, from your switch dump prod.keys and title.keys using Lockpick
- Insert your switch sd card on your PC, move prod.keys and title.keys from sdcard/switch/ to your PC
- Now you can finally generate your game, launch Ultimate-Switch-Hack-Script
- Proceed to the main menu where you see the entry "6: Other functions?"
- After entering that submenu, proceed to "16: Inject a Sega Saturn game"
The rest is straight forward, it will ask you for the keys files you generated, it will also ask you for a 256x256 jpeg cover (non-interlaced, has to be less than 128k).
After the nsp has been generated, you can go inside the Ultimate-Switch-Hack-Script folders and find the uncompressed content of Guardian Force, here you can swap some files around. If you go back a few threads, you will see a Texture.tex file that makes the lower-right menu icon disappear, there are also ini files being shared with good settings for various games.
Hope it helps!

Open your cotton2.cue file (which you've renamed) in any text editor and check FILE BINARY line. It must contain the EXACT name of bin file. Try deleting spaces and uppercases to be sure. For example, this is cue file of dragonforce and the name of bin file is "dragonforce.bin" in this instance.I followed the intructions...
Place the Dragon Force (USA).bin without changing the name in the romfs file
Change the Dragon Force (USA).cue to Cotton2.cue and place it in the romfs file
I tried with a different rom but no luck.
The last step before the 'injecting process' begins is to choose the path where you wanna store your generated .nsp file. Open it, get the nsp and just install the way you install nsp.Thanks for this. I've generated the uncompressed GF folder but not sure what to do now I've read all 40 pages of this thread several times...
Do I just rename the folder to the injected game (Nights Into Dreams) and then transfer the folder to Tinfoil on Switch in the usual way with the NUT tool? Or do I need to put the game files in the romfs folder as per the method without using the script? I thought the script would automatically do this? Apologies if these are all really numpty questions. Feels like I'm close, just not quite there.

Make sure there is no absolute paths in this line, just filename. I've seen cues with directories such as "C:\Users\... etc" in this line.

Uncompressed GF folder is there to speed up the process of injecting games later on. You can also use it to modify it (change wallpapers and so on).
You don't need specific ID (it's for some other particular reasons) to get working nsp, random one is fine.Thanks for your reply.
I chose the path USHS>Saturn_emu_inject_datas>games for the generated NSP file. A GF folder is there but it doesn't seem to be an NSP file or contain one. I did get error messages when I ran the script but since the GF folder appeared I assumed it worked. Thinking not now. I tried the script again with the same steps but with a different destination folder for the NSP and error messages appeared in the script and no folder was generated. Guess I should run a log report and ask Shadow if he could take a look. I did fresh prod and title keys from EmmuNAND after installing the game on the switch. Do I need to use a specific ID in the script? I've just been generating a random. Also, the saturn path needs to be a folder containing the unamended bin and cue files for the saturn game I want to play right?
Thanks in advance for a help. I'll be sure to help others if I ever get this working!
Thanks for this. I'll make some shorter paths- all come from the desktop atm so too long I guess. Failing this I'll run the log.You don't need specific ID (it's for some other particular reasons) to get working nsp, random one is fine.
Saturn path must contain folder where cue&bin pair of desired game is located.
Since you get fresh keys after installing GF, I'm afraid, logging is the only way to solve the problem.
One general idea which is coming to my mind: path names. Make it simple for all files (USHS, saturn iso folder, keys, icon, etc.)
I guess it is for shadow256 to answer. But I don't think that script check internals of iso files. I run tests with 1kb dummy bin file and it was injected perfectly.Thanks for this. I'll make some shorter paths- all come from the desktop atm so too long I guess. Failing this I'll run the log.
Just checking, I used CHDMAN to convert my Saturn CHD files to bin and cue- these are fine to use with the script right?
When I saw this I had high hopes that it would fix my problem as I was using the master version of the programe. But no such luck. Any chance you could give a step by step idiot proof guide of what you did? You might stop me from going crazy.Holy smoke i got it work! After long ass strugle i found out that the reason why i could not get the programm to work was that i had old version of the hack tool. So to you all who has issues use the latest version! Damn i'm so happy now and same time mad at myself

1. Install guardian force tribute nsp to your switch. 2. Dumb that guardian game using tinfoil. 3. Dumb your keys remember to dumb from emuMMC if the nsp is istalled there. Copy the game nsp you are using as source and keys to pc into same folder. No idea is this necessary but worked with me. Then make sure you have the latest version of hack tool. Launch hacktool and proseed and hope for the bestWhen I saw this I had high hopes that it would fix my problem as I was using the master version of the programe. But no such luck.

That's the hell of the path you got here. Put entire USHS folder to the root directory of your drive (something like c:\USHS\)No luck with moving the paths off the desk top. Here's the last bit of the error log. I can send print screens of the whole of it if needed. Many thanks in advance for any support.
