:switch: Dependencies:
Requires the latest release of hactool.exe and all its .dll files in the same directory.

Complete v0.3 change list:

  • Added PFS0 support! (Used in .nsp)
  • Automatically fills in the textboxes with keydata from keys.dat when key manager is opened. (Also added a manual option)
  • Drag-and-drop file support added for all extraction types
  • Key manager button added to main screen
  • Internet access no longer required for use; now you can check for updates by clicking the option
  • Remembers last selected NCA extraction option
  • Remembers previous directory used
  • NCA extraction is disabled unless keys are filled and a key file is present
  • Checks for incorrectly formatted keys.dat
  • Quotes no longer required in directory names


Coming soon:
  • Name change
  • The hactool files will not be required, the code will be built into the program
  • Key verification
  • Key derivation, the usual stuff, but will also generate the master_key, package1_key and various others from a supplied keyblob, provided you have the wrapper key for the specific keyblob and the console-unique SBK and TSEC keys
  • Bulk file extraction
  • Support for all other hactool formats, including Rights ID-encrypted NCAs and SD card files
  • Built-in CDN downloader, provide a private key and cert, then add the Title ID, it will get the latest version of the meta file, decrypt the NCA, read the cnmt, get the NCAID of each file and download the NCA of them from the Atum server (provided you have the keys)
  • Various file type extractors (BFSAR, BFRES, BFGRP, SARC, SZS, Yaz0, etc.)
  • Background music (optional)
  • Themes (optional)
  • More easter eggs

Well it's programmed in VB, so I'd recommend using an IDE (I am using Visual Studio 2017). I would have submitted a fix yesterday but it seems like there are some files that are not in the repo that are needed for signing the executable, but I guess I can just submit the changes for the files for MasterKey4...

A pre-compiled wont happen, as the keys are reverse engineered, re-distributing the keys would be highly illegal...

If that is what happen, how the program knows if a key is valid or not?

@SimonMKWii I have a suggestion about the Key Data Windows.
When i'm on Master key00 textbox and then press tab, it goes to Header Key, then KEK, ... in wrong order. It's not really a big deal but why not making it a bit greater :)

If I remind correctly, it could be achieved by changing the "xxx.TabIndex" value in KeyForm.Designer.vb to reorder the fields.

By the way, great tool, easy to use!

and if we can get xci from public releases and extract nca from it
