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.

There’s a method to play card 2 games with layeredFS. I’ve been playing Mario Aces lol
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 +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.

  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Will you give me mouth to mouth oxygen if my throat closes?
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Nah the air can do that
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Ask @x65943 he's trained for that stuff
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Kissing random dudes choking in celery? Really? Need to study for that?

    Yes it requires a degree
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    I could also yank out the rest of my teeth but theirs professionals for that
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    If your throat closes, putting oxygen in your mouth will not solve anything - as you will be introducing oxygen prior to the area of obstruction
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Just kiss me Kyle.
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    You either need to be intubated to bypass obstruction or create a stoma inferior to the the area of obstruction to survive
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    "Just kiss me Kyle." And I thought all the godreborn gay stuff was a smear campaign

    Seems like, your PSU was waiting for a partner.
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Keep them both
    separated or you'll have more PSUs each year.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Well one you insert one PSU into the other one you get power
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    It literally turns it on.
