Can someone point me to an article or post on what's the actual tech difference between card 1 and card 2? Just for educational purposes.

Tutorial:

• Get the latest version of XCI Explorer with Card 2 Support (https://github.com/StudentBlake/XCI-Explorer/releases)
• Load the XCI file, then go to the Partitions tab, then under secure find the biggest NCA file and extract it to your desktop (See image 1 for reference) (should be called "cdee81d37ad6e99952d7f45fb01b2c83.nca" for Mario Tenis Aces)
• Extract the NCA file to your desktop
• Download hactool and extract the content to your desktop (https://github.com/SciresM/hactool/releases)
• Download keys.ini and places it on your desktop
• Create a folder on your Desktop called Mario
• At this point, you should have 1 folder and 6 files on your desktop (NCA file, four files for hactool, and keys.ini) (See image 2 for reference)
• Open CMD (Command Prompt)
• Type in the following command:
• cd Desktop (press enter)
• hactool.exe -k keys.ini --romfs="Mario\romfs.bin" --exefsdir="Mario\exefs" "cdee81d37ad6e99952d7f45fb01b2c83.nca" (press enter) (if you are using a different game you would have a different name for you NCA file)
• Now command prompt will run the command and if it is successful you should see "Done!" at the end (See image 3 for reference)
• Now you have all the files required to run your game!
• Rename the Mario folder to the title ID of your donor game and then modify main.npdm with your donor title ID
• Copy the folder to the titles folder on your SD card (atmosphere/titles/)

Now you are all good to go! Hope this tutorial was hopeful for people decrypting Cart 2 games!

Does anyone have a methode to do the same but in XCI format ??

Do you know why this card type has been created ? do they have extra storage ? Is it an anti piracy layer added ?
i mean what makes this card type 2 differnt from card type 1 ??

Same here i want to know the differences, yet cannot see anything info on it. Is it like a dual layer 50gb + storage space rom chip, added security like you say.

I wish there was a way to repack your files in XCI format, that would solve a lot of headaches.

I +1 that.

Not that it matters, type2 will be playable soon, but I'd just like to know out of curiosity.

@FliP0x

Games used to store their icon and name data in a partition labeled "normal" on the game cart. However, newer games now have an empty "normal" partition and have a new logo partition that stores the icon data. This dumper does not handle those newer games. So if you try to dump a really new game, like the Happy Birthdays game, the dumper will fail.

The important thing is that xecuter already realeased the update and we can use this card 2 games now , I’ve already tried with Mario tennis Aces and it works great !!

Does the update fix the 1-2 Switch problems?
