I want to share something that I've been working on for a while
It started of as an experiment to add LibHac to Switch Backup Manager, but as it was easier to make a new project instead of doing with an existing app with already lots of things in it, it progressed as a separate project. Although because now it is a separate project, a macOS build was made possible


NX Game Info

Tool to read information from Nintendo Switch game files, with the following features

• Read NSP, XCI and installed titles from SD card
• Game files structure (Scene release, CDN rip, converted)
• NCA signature (Verify if it's official Nintendo titles. Unmodified titles should pass this test)
  
• FS permission (Read filesystem permission. Game titles should not have excessive filesystem permissions such as EraseMmc)
  
• macOS and Windows build

To use this app, you need to provide 4 files

• prod.keys: Your usual keys file, also commonly found as keys.txt in other apps. Can be obtained from your Switch using Lockpick
• console.keys: SD seed key, can also be obtained using Lockpick. Please refer to this for more details. This is only required for Open SD Card to function, and only sd_seed key (along with sd_card_kek_source and sd_card_nca_key_source in prod.keys) is required. Other keys can be ignored
• title.keys: Title keys file, support any popular format such as from newkeydb or nutdb. This is required to read FS permission for games using Titlekey Crypto. Also used to map game title name and latest version if available. For more details see https://github.com/garoxas/LibHac/blob/NX_Game_Info/KEYS.md#title-keys
• hac_versionlist.json: Version list file, can be downloaded from https://pastebin.com/raw/9N26Bx10 (updated daily). No DLC version

For more details, please refer to https://github.com/garoxas/NX_Game_Info#how-to

Thanks to

• @minibar for LibHac
• @GibaBR for the inspiration with Switch Backup Manager
• http://switchbrew.org/

For macOS Users

If the app suddenly closes when you try to run it, go to System Preferences then to Security & Privacy, there you'll need to select Open Anyway to be able to run this app

certificate is dead. and version list bot in switchbrew discord also no longer updated. so no more version list update until I can get a new source

Thank you for the info!

@Garou any plans to publish new compiled binaries?

not yet. there are some new changes but I only manage to did it for windows and not macos. I need to make sure when releasing new version it'll be for both platforms
but if you're on windows, you can always get the latest build on https://ci.appveyor.com/project/garoxas/nx-game-info

Thanks Garou for still supporting your great app. Is there any plans to add support for the new emerging nsz format?

@Garou

just noticed you have a new version, can you explain what "Add Update Title Keys for Title Names" does exactly?

got another source for title.keys so now your DLC will no longer displayed empty title names (hopefully)
not really sure if the data is accurate or will keep being updated though, so for now just enjoy

Hi! What a great tool! I've stopped using Switch Backup Manager and moved to NX Game Info Thanks!

It's pretty straightforward and easy to use - but I do have one question. Why are some rows highlighted in yellow? What does that mean?

All of the NSPs in my library check out as "Signature: Passed" and "Permission: Safe". I'm not sure why some are yellow and some are not.

that means there are updates available for those titles
check both Version and Latest Version columns. the former is the one that you currently have, while the latter is the latest update available for that game

 

[peepoop]

Wow that was exactly it and I feel dumb for not figuring that out. Thank you

 

[whateverg1012]

@Garou I've recently been having issues with the app, it looks like it's not detecting the latest versions of the files anymore?

if you need a new source, the one from tinfoil.io is constantly updated

Hey Garou,

I was the one who originally requested the ability to save column width and columns enabled/disabled. I never noticed this until tonight, but NX Game Info isn't saving the row sorting on exit. I think I never noticed it because I've been sorting my games by "Title Name" which is what it looks like NX Game Info defaults to. But tonight, I decided to sort them by "Type", however, after closing and re-opening NX Game Info, it reverted back to sorting by "Title Name".

I'm using the latest nightly v0.7.2.0-73.

Just wanted to give a heads up on that, hopefully you'll consider sliding that code fix into a future release..

Thanks in advance

that's only the column title?

 

[Dava]

that's only the column title?

Yes and i See that by others shows it if the nps passed and another information. I have testet a demo and a xci converted nps but shows only this. Prod.keys are from my switch

sorry I still don't get it. can you rephrase your question?
were you telling me that you only have 5 columns and nothing else? try right click it, chances are the others are hidden

@Garou "hac_versionlist.json: Version list file, can be downloaded from https://pastebin.com/raw/9N26Bx10"

So, do I need to place this file somewhere? I only put my prod.keys and title.keys in the .switch directory.

Also, for certain DLCs, if the signature says "NOT PASSED" but permissions says nothing, is this ok? Also, I tried an update file and it failed to load any metadata, so I assume that means it's corrupted?

What columns should we be looking out for the verify the file's integrity?
