Hacking Question Wat is boot file extesion on nintendo switch

[Eridion kiorai]

So i wwnt to know wat is file extesion of boot file like e.x gamecube and wii has .dol wii u has .rpx

 

[smileyhead]

How should we know?
Why would this info be useful to you?

 

[Arck]

they don't have extensions in the game file, but they are "NSO".

(pointless to know that)

The Gamecube’s codename is Dolphin. Wii is basically a Gamecube on steroids. Both use .dol.

The Wii U product code is WUP. While .rpx is the executable format, there is also a WUP title installer.

Since the product code of the Switch is HAC, maybe *.hac?

the switch is based of bsd so i guess what ever unix exectables are but by that logic you can run switch games on a mac soooooooooo

 

[sarkwalvein]

Following that logic it should be .apk

Spoiler

actually, if the OS is kind of based on the one in the 3DS with some minimal add-ons from BSD, perhaps the packages are just CIAv2, or... HIA. with executables being CXIv2... or HXI)

1. No, it's not BSD - the only BSD code is the network stack.
2. Mac OS X can't run *BSD executables and vice-versa.
3. Unix systems usually have *no* file extension for executables.

Well, yeah they don't have an extension, they are just marked as executable in the corresponding permission flag.
Anyway they have some kind of standardized executable binary file format, like ELF.

I would believe they'll decide to use .nx

I would absolutely love that.... hell, I was one of the people who wanted it to be called the NX or the cross or something like that...

 

[SciresM]

.nso.

 

[BlastedGuy9905]

.nso.

Isn't that for games/roms?

 

[smileyhead]

.nso.

Does NSO stand for something?

 

[Enkuler]

Does NSO stand for something?

Nintendo Switch Obviously...

 

[SciresM]

Does NSO stand for something?

Nintendo Shared Object.

Isn't that for games/roms?

No, it's the code binary format.

Games/Roms are in NCA (Nintendo Content Archive) format, which is analogous to NCCH on 3DS.

What does ISO stand for?

The file extension doesn't matter. It can be .dmp or plain .zip for all I care. Just bring 'em on!

 

[GerbilSoft]

What does ISO stand for?

ISO-9660, the standard that defines the layout of CD-ROM file systems.
