ROM Hack RELEASE NSC_Builder. Nintendo Switch Cleaner and Builder. (Game+updates+dlc in a single xci)

[huma_dawii]

Thanks for the response. So since the ticket is a common ticket, I assume that removing them is pointless or is it better to be safe than sorry?

It's always good to leave updates the way they are .... Unless you are merging nsp to xci .

 

[cheungpakwan]

please PM me the key...
because i need to play power rangers and dead or alive v.1.0.1
on my 5.1 firmware

is it possible to get that masterkey?

I got my mistake for missing XCI-Explorer datas:
For converting, patching or just resizing a SINGLE file, you MUST use the "1" process files INDIVIDUALLY.
I used always "2" MULTI-PACK mode, because I thought the number of files doesn't matter.
That's wrong. The result using "2" with one file still works but then infos in XCI-Explorer are missing.
Using "1" works totally fine with 0.81d !!!

So if "2" really works perfect with 2 or more files it should give a warning using only a single file.
Or you fix it and combine "1" and "2" because I see no big difference.
The prog should be able to count the number of files (single or multi mode).
Another difference is the name of the result file.
"1" takes the source name, "2" asks for a name. I would combine that aswell.

no, the issue there is i just forgot to add a function to generate the XML in the new multi function but i'm redoing it. So much patches and supported things make me forget some things when i redo the functions.
Either way you make it sound like the files were bad when is just xci explorer inability to identify the ncas if they don't have the xml file which is really stupid. You could feed it bad information just editing the xml file which is pretty bad actually. I'll look into adding\generating the xmls again in the functions that doesn't do that currently but it's not really a priority.

In a way it is yes, the only thing is that is weird to have a ticket for an update of a game that is eshop only and you don't have a ticket for but who knows if Nintendo can check that.

I know, everyone should has his source he can trust, so or so.
Thanks for adding it sooner or later

I've a question (sorry if already asked)

when I want to add a new update to a game that I've already given a update with nscbuilder, I have to start from zero ? Or I can update the game coming from nscbuilder?

You can do both.

 

[wakabayashy]

You can do both.

will try with one already update, thanks !

if it works, it's perfect, it's a pain in ass to start from zero when a new update show ups :'(

What the hell is gong on. I haventhad problems before. this is on the stable build.

You're missing last masterkey (masterkey7), the initial error comes before that and it says something like unable to decrypt nca header.

It's telling you aes_kek_generation_source it's missing, incorrect or cannot new read properly. It's in the keys.txt

 

[18Phoenix]

Yeah yeah, always the keys

 

[JRoad]

Yeah yeah, always the keys

yeah, yeah i know. There is actually a function that checks for them at startup in last version but i didn't implemented it since i feared it would be too bothersome for people, so i just put that in the config. Was deciding about implementing it and disable the check when all keys were found, but at that time masterkey7 wasn't public and i felt that telling people they were missing masterkey7 at every boot would end with them asking me how to get it and at that point we didn't have lockpick-rcm. Either way my latest idea is just to check before every conversion job.

BTW the new multi mode is already making the xmls though there has been talks about removing it's generation from nut since the xml it's not a cdn file. If nut removes them i may follow it's lead since sd tool already removed the cnmt.xml some time ago.

Basically missing for next release in new multi mode:
- Delta skipping
- Gamecard flag restoration.
- Fat32 splitting
So new version shouldn't be far. It'll also feature direct building and naming calculation so you don't need to input the names in multi-xcis, and multi nsps without modification (with tickets) since both tinfoil (from blawar) and rommenu supports them.

 

[gizmomelb]

Yeah yeah, always the keys

I know right? It's almost like people never bother reading back over the past few pages to see if anyone else has had the same error.

 

[JRoad]

well one thing that favours that is that current multi is split in 2 functions while next one will be only one function. Basically the important error is in the first one (unable to decrypt nca header) but the second one is more visible.

 

[cheungpakwan]

dear sir,
because my exfat microsd get corrupted,
i will to use fat32 micro sd,
howto use nsc builder to split large xci bigger than 4gb ?

 

[MarioShadow]

i trying to make Power Rangers Battle of the grid work on 6.2.0 ,to do that i need update my keys,and to get these keys with lockpick, i need to use lockpick on a Switch on Firmware 7.0.1....right ? or i can get these keys on my switch 6.2.0?

if the answer is yes... do u guys recommend to update with choi for 7.0.1?
im using SX OS with HD ..i heard sxos do not have support for hdd on 7.0.1...this is a lie right ?

Yes, sx has support for latest firmware. The only way to get the key without updating is to ask a friend for master_key_07
But there's not dissadvantages to update to 7.01, though you'll need lockpick rcm to get the key and for it to work is needed to update the sysnand, not just the emunand. To lockpick rcm usage refer to shchmue's thread:

Use either lates beta from master or 0.80-c. Then activate teither option 2 or option 3 in the following screen:

Note: The option is in Global options.

Latest master:
https://github.com/julesontheroad/NSC_BUILDER/archive/Beta.zip
0.80-c:
https://github.com/julesontheroad/NSC_BUILDER/releases/tag/v0.80-c

Every time I try to update my Splatoon 2 v4.4 XCI (approx 8GB) with either version 4.5 or 4.6, the resulting xci is tiny and NSC Builder gives this error:

Exception: read returned empty 0x600

You can update without any fear. SXOS 2.6 had an error so HDDs didn't work.
Therefore they released fix 2.6.1 one day later, with that everything works fine.
I hope you already downloaded SXOS 2.6.1, because the standard homepage of team xecuter is down.
