GUI for NSP Forwarder tool for 12+.

Note: Please backup your files first just in case.

Features

• Build NSP Forwarders for NRO and RetroArch Rom's.
• Accepts PNG, JPG/JPEG, BMP, GIF and TIF Images for the Icon and Logo.
• Automatically Resizes and Converts Icon and Logo to the correct dimensions (The Icon should be at least roughly square and the Logo should be wider than tall to look acceptable) but any will work.
• Allows prod.keys to be located anywhere.
• Generates a Random TitleID or can be entered manually.

User guide

Important: You will need the prod.keys file generated by Lockpick_RCM.

To use the Disable Image Conversion option, you will need to provide the Icon file as a 256 x 256 Pixel JPG; and if you use it, the Logo file it must be a 160 x 40 Pixel PNG.

(Note: you must tick the Disable Image Conversion option before choosing your image files.)

Screenshots

Known issues

Some forwarders are created with ? logo when installed on the switch, 0.12 Beta adds an option to disable the image conversion completely as a workaround as no rootcause has been identified.
