@JRoad
Hi :)
I still like to check generated files with the XCI-Explorer.
Sometimes I've a small XCI which I want to convert to NSP (even knowing that I could install XCI files with SXOS).
What I still miss is that I get no icon or datas using XCI-Explorer with NSCB converted files.
I don't have that problem with 4NXCI.
Could you please fix that ?
Wasn't a missing XML file the problem? Why is it missing?

I just checked with my latest master and individual mode is generating the xml, same with multicontent mode, it seems i forgot to add that to the new splitter function though, i don't know if you're referring to that, the beta changed many things and rebuilt completely the splitter and individual modes and well I keep finding little errors like this in things that worked before XD, i'll correct it and upload a new master. But yeah is due to xci explorer parsing the xml file to know which nca is each type or so it seems.

I took a look at my code and it was intentional, the splitter just splits content unmodified so you'll encounter that when splitting from xci, i just didn't thought about xci explorer, well i'suppose i'll add the code to support it either way.
Edit: It seems it isn't implement in update mode neither currently, i'll implement it in both modes and get back to you when it's done.

Hey, guys, I'm having an issue with installing an update to Super Mario Party, it always fails as soon as it is about to create the XCI. But I'm also having the same issue with Super Bomberman R in were the update won't install. I got the latest version of NSC Builder and I also tried to uninstalled anything like DLC and updates but those games didn't have anything in them.

(This is the code that shows up and I checked if I had the master key 6 and I do have it)

Or with:

Sorry, scratch what i said, i just remembered that one is recent, it requires Masterkey7 (keygeneration8) you need masterkey7 to be able to lower keygeneration or pull it's data.

Try taking the underscores out of the file name before running it. I have had similar problems if the file name has special charecters. You might also try shortening the name, sometimes windows has a problem with too many charectors all in one line (including directory)

Hi @JRoad

Was wondering: is it useful to "convert" an NSP downloaded online to a new NSP with NSC_Builder so it uses my own keys?

I ask this because I download games in XCI and updates (of course) in NSP. Then I throw everything in NSC_Builder to "convert" them in NSP. Maybe it’s useless to do this?

Thank you for your tool either way!

What game are you trying to convert? My guess is that the game requires a specific key in order to go through if your trying to convert a 7.0 game that is.
I tried to convert a 7.0 update to 6.2 but ran into the same issue here. It would stop at 18%

Okay, tried NSC_Builder v0.80-c. Got it to get a little further into the process but then it did this.

Yeah the 7.0 keys is what you need judging by that game's release date.
Your going to get the same error: object of type 'NoneType' has no len() on any build of the nscbuilder until you provide 7.0 keys for it.
Did you try the select patch mode? press num key 7 for 6.2

Same outcome. I've dumped my keys and I'm updated to 7.0.1. Didn't see any master key 7.

Keygeneration 8, you need masterkey7. I need to add checks per function. It's on my list.

You need to use lockpick RCM

Yes I did FF7 last night as well. Sadly PR is the first NSP I'm having this issue with.

It's the first basegame with keygeneration8, though there were some updates before.
BTW it works fine i did one with the update and can be lowered till keygeneration6 (FW6.0) without issues.

The name of the needed masterkey is master_key_07
