Extraction of Shantae Switch release

Open tydog98 opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Making an issue until an expanded wiki page is setup.

This will require a Switch with CFW.

First dump the game using NXDumptool.

Next extract the NCA files from the NSP/XCI (depending if you dumped the eShop or physical release) using hactool (or one of the GUI front ends for it). This will require the keys for the game.

Then from the NCA files extract the RomFS (again, with hactool). Within the RomFS structure there will be ShantaeB3ae.bin and game2.bin. ShantaeB3ae.bin is the regular game, game2.bin is the GBA enhanced version. Keep in mind checksums won't be right as the Capcom and Nintendo logos/copyright had to be removed and Limited Run Games logo added as MVG explains in his video about development of this game. The A/B buttons were also switched around and menus changed to reflect that.

Actually apparently Ryujinx can extract the RomFS, still will need the keys. Just right click the game in your Ryujinx library and go to Extract > RomFS and choose where you want the files to be, the ROMs will be there.
