MIG Switch XCI Information

[Deidara]

For anyone else that may be interested in setting up a MIG Switch. XCI Files must be UNTRIMMED otherwise they will fail to work/load. I believe their region also needs to match the region of the donor cert that you are using.

For example if I'm using a cert from a NA copy of Pokemon Sword. It won't work on an PAL copy of Kirby.

I'm assuming by this logic repacked romhacks also will fail to load entirely. But HACBuild doesn't seem to want to do this for me. It just gives a 64kb "unknown" XCI file

Thanks for the info.

If I am not wrong cert region does not matter as region locked games arent a thing in Switch

That is what I thought too but the only XCI copy of New Pokemon Snap I could find kept giving me a read error

In that case it was likely just trimmed and I wasn't aware. Its very possible Im just wrong lol

I tried playing romhacks as well but none of the hacbuild scripts or guis seem to want to actually make the XCI out of the NCA folders properly

Its "successful" but only spits out a 64kb XCI file. Otherwise Id test those as well
