# julesontheroad/NSC_BUILDER

Nintendo Switch Cleaner and Builder. A batchfile, python and html script based in hacbuild and Nut's python libraries. Designed initially to erase titlerights encryption from nsp files and make multicontent nsp/xci files, nowadays is a multicontent tool specialized in batch processing and file information, someone called it a Switch's knife and he may be right.

## What it is
A multi-purpose Nintendo Switch file tool ('Switch-Army Knife') written in Python, Batch, and HTML, based on nut and hacbuild. It specializes in batch processing of NSP/XCI game files, including removing titlerights encryption, building multi-content files, and inspecting file metadata.

## Use cases
- remove titlerights encryption from nsp files
- build multi-content nsp or xci files from switch games
- batch rename switch game files to match their content
- verify nsp xci nsz nca files
- lower required system version on switch game files
- repack switch games for fat32 compatibility
- extract firmware and game info from nsp and xci files
- split multi-content switch files back into single nsp or xci

## When to choose
- you need to batch process, repack, or inspect Nintendo Switch NSP/XCI files
- you want to remove titlerights or convert between NSP and XCI formats
- you need detailed metadata from Switch game files without extracting them

## When to avoid
- you need a graphical, user-friendly tool with no command-line usage
- you want to run dumped content without tickets (NSX/preloads), which this cannot enable
- you need actively developed features - the project is in maintenance mode
