ROM Hack RELEASE Switch-Backup-Rename

[DBA]

Hello everyone,

Here is a very simple tool i did for myself, allowing to rename *.xci and *.nsp files to easilly find your backups on your SD card.
It fetches an online database to find the game names based on the file name.

The problem: With SXOS, everything has to be on root, and card dump most of the time do not contains game name.

The solution : Rename backups with both name and serial for easy search and natural sorting.

It's node.js, and multiplatforms precompiled.

Ha, damn. Wish I knew about this when getting xci files. Would have saved me a couple of minutes.

Is it safe to rename your roms? Or is there more chance of getting banned?

It makes no difference.
The op just wants to keep the scene names, whilst also adding 'cut', ha

I'm pretty sure Nintendo doesn't name their games as "BBB" (BigBlueBox).

You're fine to rename your dumps, I'm sure. (Though no doubt someone will run in panicking and say we can't be sure for certain).

Just to say, I've renamed all of my backups and even updated them through the official firmware and my console is still able to access all online features.

game names based on the xci file name

so if the file name isnt what the name suppose to be, it renders useless?

Yes, it does not dig into the xci file, it only read the filename to find the serial in it.

I just renamed my .xci files, why would there be a problem with it?

I'm having an issue with this app. it was working before, but now whenever I it, I get this message: "cannot read property. toLowercase of undefined." and, it does nothing after that. I've tried multiple versions, on the desktop, as administrator, and via a compatibility fix. it's always the same.

 

[godreborn]

does this app utilize the internet in some way?

When I run it I get the following error

good work

Fixed the issue, due to some game without serial in nswdb.

new release here : https://github.com/DavidBabel/Switch-Backup-Rename/releases

Yes it uses internet to download the filenames to be always up to date.
