DarkMatterCore profite de l’effervescence provoquée par le firwmare 9.x pour mettre à jour son utilitaire « nxdumptool ». En plus d’être désormais 100% compatible 9.x, quelques nouveautés intéressantes à se mettre sous la dent :
- le processus de dump devrait être plus rapide, grâce à un affinage de certains paramètres (boost mode type 1 pour le CPU, plus aucune dépendance à la mémoire dynamique, etc.)
- possibilité de naviguer et dumper dans les sections RomsFS NCA des DLC
Bref, une mise à jour de maintenance, mais pas que, qui devrait ravir les utilisateurs. Dernier petit détail : le boost mode nécessite au minimum le firmware 7.0.0 😉
↓ Nouveautés / Corrections (cliquer pour voir) ↓
v1.1.5:
- Built with latest libnx release, in order to fix HID problems under HOS 9.0.0+.
- Added support for Korean and Chinese character sets.
- Added browsing/dumping support for RomFS sections in Data NCAs from DLCs.
- Compatible with orphan DLCs (Y button) as well.
- Output directories for ExeFS/RomFS operations are now properly tagged as « (BASE) », « (UPD) » or « (DLC) » (RomFS only), depending on the title type being processed.
- Some measures have been taken to help speed up dumping operations:
- CPU boost mode type 1 is now used with
appletSetCpuBoostMode
– only effective under HOS 7.0.0+!
- Removed the need for dynamic memory allocations in NCA AES-CTR block decryption/encryption steps.
- Although these changes get me some extra ~4 MiB/s in most operations, keep in mind this doesn’t do much to help with RomFS dumps from titles with lots of (small) file entries. Even so, although the calculated ETA can sometimes be discouraging, the dump most likely won’t take that much time – just let the process advance until it hits bigger files. Sequential write speeds for the inserted SD card still play a huge role in these cases.
- Moved base output directory from « sdmc:/nxdumptool/ » to « sdmc:/switch/nxdumptool/ ». Both the NSWreleases.xml file and the NRO binary are also expected to be inside this directory.
