How to

NX Game Info uses prod.keys, title.keys and console.keys in the format as defined in https://github.com/garoxas/LibHac/blob/NX_Game_Info/KEYS.md and hac_versionlist.json from tagaya CDN server

• prod.keys: Mandatory keys includes header_key, aes_kek_generation_source, aes_key_generation_source, key_area_key_application_source and master_key_00. Failing to provide these keys will make the application quit master_key_##, key_area_key_application_## and titlekek_## will also be necessary to decrypt titles with higher MasterKey requirement
• title.keys: Optional, required for Permission check if .tik file not available
• console.keys: Optional, sd_seed key required for Open SD Card feature
• hac_versionlist.json: Optional, required for Latest Version feature

The application will look for these files at the following locations (other file locations will follow wherever prod.keys file was found)

• Directory of the executable file (.exe) for Windows or (.app) for macOS
• $HOME/.switch e.g. C:\Users\yourname\.switch for Windows, /Users/yourname/.switch for macOS or /home/yourname/.switch for Linux

Export menu supports exporting current list to either CSV or XLSX. For CSV file, default delimiter to use is comma ( , ) and user defined character can be set in user.settings by specifying the delimiter character in CsvSeparator field

Compressed NCA is not supported, but there is an option to make the application accept XCZ and NSZ file extension by setting NszExtension field in user.settings. Please note that issues related to these file extensions will not be supported
