Scans a Nintendo Switch NAND dump and identifies its firmware version and whether exFAT is present based on the names of the .nca files in SYSTEM:/Contents/registered. | |||
| | |||
| | '''Author's note:''' Python and command line can be difficult for unfamiliar users, so if possible, it is recommended to use the [[NxNandManager Switch|NxNandManager]] tool, which among other things can list the firmware version of a NAND backup. | ||
| | |||
==User guide== | |||
Requires Python 3 with pycryptodome (pycrypto works too): | |||
pip install pycryptodome | |||
If this is an encrypted backup like Hekate makes (ie. you haven't dumped a decrypted System partition via [[HacDiskMount Switch|HacDiskMount]]), you need to provide your console-specific BIS key 2. Dump this using [[biskeydump Switch|biskeydump]], and save the output to a text file to pass to <code>FVI</code> via the <code>-b</code> option. | |||
Then run from command line: | |||
<pre> | |||
python FVI.py [-b=/path/to/biskeyfile] <dumpfile> | |||
biskeyfile must contain the following lines: | |||
< | BIS Key 2 (crypt): <32-digit hex key> | ||
BIS Key 2 (tweak): <32-digit hex key> | |||
omit -b if System partition already decrypted (eg. dumped with HacDiskMount) | |||
dumpfile must be NAND dump (eg. Hekate rawnand.bin dump) or System partition | |||

Scans a Nintendo Switch NAND dump and identifies its firmware version and whether exFAT is present based on the names of the .nca files in SYSTEM:/Contents/registered.
Author's note: Python and command line can be difficult for unfamiliar users, so if possible, it is recommended to use the NxNandManager tool, which among other things can list the firmware version of a NAND backup.
User guide
Requires Python 3 with pycryptodome (pycrypto works too):
pip install pycryptodome
If this is an encrypted backup like Hekate makes (ie. you haven't dumped a decrypted System partition via HacDiskMount), you need to provide your console-specific BIS key 2. Dump this using biskeydump, and save the output to a text file to pass to FVI via the -b option.
Then run from command line:
python FVI.py [-b=/path/to/biskeyfile] <dumpfile> biskeyfile must contain the following lines: BIS Key 2 (crypt): <32-digit hex key> BIS Key 2 (tweak): <32-digit hex key> omit -b if System partition already decrypted (eg. dumped with HacDiskMount) dumpfile must be NAND dump (eg. Hekate rawnand.bin dump) or System partition

Compatibility
