Switch library manager

Easily manage your switch game backups

Features:

• Cross platform, works on Windows / Mac / Linux
• GUI and command line interfaces
• Scan your local switch backup library (NSP/NSZ/XCI)
• Read titleId/version by decrypting NSP/XCI/NSZ (requires prod.keys)
• If no prod.keys present, fallback to read titleId/version by parsing file name (example: Super Mario Odyssey [0100000000010000][v0].nsp).
• Lists missing update files (for games and DLC)
• Lists missing DLCs
• Automatically organize games per folder
• Rename files based on metadata read from NSP
• Delete old update files (in case you have multiple update files for the same game, only the latest will remain)
• Delete empty folders
• Zero dependencies, all crypto operations implemented in Go.

Keys (optional)

Having a prod.keys file will allow you to ensure the files you have a correctly classified. The app will look for the "prod.keys" file in the app folder or under ${HOME}/.switch/ You can also specify a custom location in the settings.json (see below)

Note: Only the header_key, and the key_area_key_application_XX keys are required.

Settings

During the App first launch a "settings.json" file will be created, that allows for granular control over the Apps execution.

You can customize the folder/file re-naming, as well as turn on/off features.

Naming template

The following template elements are supported:

• {TITLE_NAME} - game name
• {TITLE_ID} - title id
• {VERSION} - version id (only applicable to files)
• {VERSION_TXT} - version number (like 1.0.0) (only applicable to files)
• {REGION} - region
• {TYPE} - impacts DLCs/updates, will appear as ["UPD","DLC"]
• {DLC_NAME} - DLC name (only applicable to DLCs)

Reporting issues

Please set debug mode to 'true', and attach the slm.log to allow for quicker resolution.
