A Windows program that can view and extract the contents of a Nintendo Switch Cartridge Image (XCI)
This tool can view information and the files within a Nintendo Switch Cartridge Image (XCI). The files are displayed in a tree view and each file can be exported. The first 10 MB of the selected file is shown in a hex viewer.
You will need:
- Visual Studio 2015 or later
- .NET Framework 4.5 or later
- Clone the repo
- Open the
.slnfile in Visual Studio Build > Build Solution
XCI Tool can not decrypt anything. You will need the decryption key to do so.
XCI Tool will become deprecated in favor for a new tool called UltiSwitch. This will include an updated and more organized XCI Tool that will not come until I finish Blacksmith, another project of mine.
Some files in the XCI files can be gigabytes in size. I implemented this hacky solution (hey, it works) for exporting them.
