Hello guys, this is my first post here! I just got a MIG Switch card out of curiosity and I was tinkering with it. For those who don't know, it's used by placing XCI dumps as well as other game specific bin files in the sd card of the MIG Switch, and are obtained from the original cartridge by using an app like nxdumptool. Two of these bin files are mandatory to get the game to boot: Initial Data.bin and Certificate.bin. They stay the same for every cartridge of a specific game. Now, if you want to use an XCI dump from a shady website it's impossible to get it to work without those files. By using the Certificate.bin from another game it has no problem, but this does not count for the Initial Data.bin. So I looked for a way to obtain this Initial Data from an XCI file and read a bit of the XCI file documentation from switchbrew dot org. Here's what I understood so far: The Switch checks if the cartridge is valid by doing a challenge–response authentication on the Initial Data. The Package ID is contained both on the XCI and the Initial Data, on positions 0x110 and 0x0 respectively. The Initial Data hash is on the XCI at position 0x160. It is calculated by doing a SHA-256 hash on the full Initial Data content. So I was wondering, is there a way to to construct a functional Initial Data file starting from an XCI dump? I also tried a reverse approach by editing the Package ID in the Initial Data from another game, generating the Initial Data hash and putting it in the XCI file but is not enough to get the Switch believe it's a real game. Sorry if this may seem stupid but let me know what you think.

I recently started releasing the cheats I made tagged with the tile id of the game, this way Breeze can automatically download it from my github page.

Came across ibnux/switch-cheat and decided to add it to the auto download.

Anybody who get cheats from ibnux/switch-cheat you may want to check this pre-release
https://github.com/tomvita/Breeze-Beta/releases/tag/pre_beta77_2

Anybody who knows of other url that has a fixed format to the cheat file using title id and bid let me know and I will look into including it to the list of url to look for cheats when there is non present.

Now the list is just these two

Actually I have zero idea about the quality of ibnux/switch-cheat so I shall remove it in the final release unless there are enough people who endorse it, let's set that at 50

I should only include url I have enough reason to believe to be good
