NSPack is a simple GUI tool to build NSP packages and NCA contents, using an embedded hacPack executable. This was submitted to the GBAtemp Switch Homebrew Bounty 2018 (Tools and Utilities). ==User guide== ===Using the builder=== There are some basic elements you need to provide at least to be able to make a NSP: {| class="wikitable" style="width: 100%;" | style="width: 15%;"| Title ID | style="width: 85%;"| 16 hex characters (example: 0100CAFE1234BEEF) - any title ID should work. |- | Name | The title's name, which will be the same for all the languages. |- | Author | The author/developer's name, which will also be the same for all the languages. |- | Version | The version string (1.0.0, 2.0beta1), limited to 16 characters. |- | Product code | A simple code string (SMO's product code: LA-H-AAACA), no matter what does it have. |- | ExeFS directory | Any title needs to have a ExeFS, which contains the compiled source code and the metadata NPDM. |- | Icon | Provide any icon, as it will be resized to 256x256, otherwise the defaut one will be used. It's recommended to use an image which is 256x256 or bigger. |- |} Apart from those, there are some other optional features to add or customize: {| class="wikitable" style="width: 100%;" | style="width: 15%;"| RomFS | style="width: 85%;"| The directory containing extra files for the title. |- | Logo | The custom PNG and GIF images which are shown when booting a title. |- | Support HTML / Important / IPNotices | This three are legal information HTML documents, which can be accessed from the home menu. |- | Offline HTML | This HTML documents are useless when making homebrew NSPs, but can be used (if you know how) to make your own video players... |- | Screenshots | Will the title allow taking screenshots? |- | Video | Will the title allow recording gameplay? |- | User account | Will the title ask for a user account when booting it? |- |} ===Using asset files=== You can also save the assets as a asset file (*.nsxml format) if you are going to use that as a template for making NSPs. ===Useful links=== *[https://github.com/XorTroll/Brew.NET Brew.NET] GitHub project. *[https://github.com/XorTroll/Brew.NET/releases Releases of the project]. *[https://github.com/XorTroll/Brew.NET/blob/master/README.md README] for credits and more info. *[https://gbatemp.net/threads/nspack-gui-for-hacpack-make-your-own-legal-nsps.519927/ Discussion thread]. ===Important notes=== *Installing and running NSPs can get you banned. Although this NSPs are not titlekey-encrypted, using them can be dangerous. *If the NSP doesn't run on your console, it can be for various reasons: used a title ID which is smallet than the NPDM's max title ID, not using a correct key generation. *Don't try building titles which ask for a user, because they could fail as generated NSPs don't ask for a user. *For the build process the program creates a temporary directory on the same folder as the EXE. Don't try messing up with that folder or deleting it while *the NSP making process, because it could crash the program. Anyway, reopening the program should reset the directory. *As this program is made using WPF, it won't probably work on any other OSs but Windows (Wine supports WinForms but doesn't support WPF). ==Screenshots== {| style="width: 80%; margin-left:0em;" | https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/switchhomebrews/nspacknx.png https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/switchhomebrews/nspacknx2.png https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/switchhomebrews/nspacknx3.png |} ==Changelog== '''v2.0 2018/11/03''' *Fixed Offline HTML and custom logo, they didn't work properly work. *Huge UI redesign, now with a gray-purple theme. *Added NCA building support, for control, program, legalinfo and offline NCA types. *Added new NSP options: screenshot, video capture, startup user account. *Fixed data size and data journal size, now building retail games should work. '''v0.1.1 2018/10/05''' *Quick internal fixes were done, assembly information was edited.. and that's it. *Any bugs you find, please comment them! Your feedback is really important. '''v0.1 2018/10/04''' *Making NSPs from ExeFS, RomFS, custom logo, legal info (important, ipnotices and support HTML) and offline HTML documents. *Auto image patching (submit any size image, it will be converted to a 256x256 JPEG). *be the same for all the 16 languages. *You also need to provide a keyset file, which can be browsed within the UI. Only keys required: header_key, key_area_key_application_XX (for any supported key generation). ==Credits== *The-4n for his awesome work with custom NCA and NSP building. *Liam for helping me with NACP support. == External links == * GitHub - https://github.com/XorTroll/Brew.NET * GBAtemp - https://gbatemp.net/threads/nspack-gui-for-hacpack-make-your-own-legal-nsps.519927/ [[Category:GBAtemp Homebrew Bounty 2018]]
