- dumped nsp now have the tik/cert at the end of the file table, rather than the beginning.
- dumped nsp patches the ticket if needed (no personalised dumping yet).
- installing titles will now patch the ticket, performing personalised -> common convert if needed, as well as fixing bad common tickets.
- yati no longer tries to install ncas if they already exist.
- ticket only option now actually works.
- fixed some translations.
- removed unused error codes.
the issue with block installs was that i was not tracking the ncz block offset in between transfers.
this resulted in the block size being used for each transfer, rather then size-offset.
for blocks that were always compressed, this silently worked as zstd stream can handle multiple frames.
however, if there existed compressed and uncompressed blocks, then this bug would be exposed.
thanks to Marulv for reporting the bug.
the fix for file based emummc is to simply sleep between fs r/w to the sd card.
the performance impact is minimal, even with the reduced buffer size.
the above *only* applies for when using file based emummc. not affecting using partition or sysmmc.
- fix usb using the wrong year when polling the timestamp.
- fs file/dir has been re-written to allow for simplified calling and remove the need of manually closing.
- add SetSize for stdio by using ftruncate.
- don't truncate the file when opened in stdio.
- add getcount api for stdio.
- display file/dir count in filebrowser for non-native fs.
- allow hash to be used on non-native fs.
- slightly optimise nro parsing by manually calculating nro size rather than doing an os call.
- slightly optimise nro parsing by keeping the fs struct alive between calls, rather than creating a new one on the stack.
- fix filebrowser peeking into zip files that are stored on non-sd fs.
- set the timestamp of a file moved to a stdio location (cut/paste).
- slightly optimise daybreak update folder detection by skipping opening/polling the dir size.
- set the fullpath of the file thats being hashed in progress box.
- build with c++26 and c23, fixes warnings due to this change.
- use #embed over romfs where applicable.
- load all configs upfront in the app menu, massively improves boot time
- enable boost mode during load/scan time in all (slow loading) menus, huge load time improvement.
- enable boost mode when exiting the app, to speed up closing all the menus and saving the config.
- reduce the size of the nro nacp when loading to just the title + author + display version.
- add option to enable boost mode for all progress bar menus, huge perf improvement again.
- remove unused launch_count var from the playlog file.
- display full path when dumping.
- optimise appstore unzip code by iterating through the zip rather than finding a specific file, reduces retroarch extract time from 52s to 26s.
overall, this commit has reduced boot time from 0.4s to 0.3s and massively increased load times of other menus.
(it also reduced the binary size by 4kb, so yay)
due to the previous commit, i broke dumping multiple games via usb as the stream offset wasn't reset.
because of this, the first transfer would complete, but the 2nd one would fail.
Some notes i made when adding stream support:
The tinfoil API makes it hard / impossible to multi thread the file upload because each data transfer passes the the file name and offset, meaning that it can and will change files and offset in the middle of a transfer
So that prevents the read thread from running freely in the background and the pull thread pulling data when requested.
The extension adds a flag to the usb header which if set, enables stream mode (same as ftp installs). This removes random access, but allows for multi threading as the data will be requested in order.
- added more es commands.
- fixed usb install potential hang if the exit command is sent, but the client stops responding (timeout is now 3s).
- added multi select to the games menu.
- added game dumping.
- added switch2switch support by having a switch act as a usb client to transfer games.
- replace std::find with std::ranges (in a few places).
- fix rounding of icon in progress box being too round.
- fix file copy helper in progress box not updating the progress bar.
- loading the control data is ran on its own thread, it does not block the main thread. allows for smooth scrolling like nintendos home menu.
- on fw20+, sphaira manually parses the control data, rather than using ns. manually parsing takes 20-40ms, which is faster than ms which can take 50-500ms.
- on fw19 and below, if the control data is not in ns cache, sphaira will manually parse the data as its twice as fast as ns. You can see how fast this is by loading the gamecard menu as that manually parses everything, and it loads the gamecard faster than the home menu
- replace the python script with the one included with tinfoil, minor changes such as changing the supported extension,
removing unused imports.
- tested with the included script, fluffy and ns-usbloader on linux.
a user was unable to get it working on mac however...
- added build instructions to the readme, i think they're correct.
- added install instructions to the readme.
the previous commit changed usb transfers to always transfer to/from page aligned buffers.
i wanted to keep the commits seperate so that its easier revert or git bisect later on, if needed.
- gamecards now wait for an event to change, rather than polling each frame.
this reduces cpu load on core 3 slightly (3-4% less).
- my understanding of fsOpenFileSystemWithId() was wrong, i thought it used the app_id for the id param.
turns out it needs the program id (found in the nca header), this is why mounting some control ncas
would fail.
fs (and ncm) have a call in 17+ to get the program id, it does so by parsing the nca header.
in yati, we already have the header so we can avoid the call.
for the gamecard menu, we don't. so we can parse the nca header, or use the id offset (which we already have)
to form the program id.
- std::find_if in yati now takes args by ref rather than by value, avoid quite large copies.
- stream installs can now parse the control nca.
- if an nca is already installed, it is now skipped. this is regardless to whether it is not in ncm db.
- nca skipping is technically supported for stream installs, however it is disabled for now as there needs
to be a way to allow for the stream to continue reading and discarding data until the stream has finished.
currently, if a ftp (stream) install is skipped, it will close the progress box and cause spahira to hang.
this is because sphaira expects the stream to only be closed upon all data being read, so there's nothing more
to process.
- renamed the title_id field in nca header to program_id.
- fix ignore distribution bit doing nothing.
- fix yati failing to parse control nca causing the transfer to abort.
- yati now uses ncm rather than ns to get the latest app version.
- improve ui::list input handling (it handles directional buttons now).
- progress bar displays speed and time remaining.
- added gc menu (taken from my gc installer nx and gci).
transfers seems to work, although i have done very little testing.
i plan to extend the usb script so that it supports normal usb transfers, such as uploading and
downloading files to and from the switch.
however, most users are likely better off using mtp for said transfers.
the usb transfer code was taken from Haze, which is part of Atmosphere.
