Simple merger for Nintendo Switch dumped content, designed to merge dumps from nxdumptool.

User guide

Supported filename formats:

• file.ns0, file.ns1, etc.
• file.nsp.00, file.nsp.01, etc.
• file.xc0, file.xc1, etc.
• file.xci.00, file.xci.01, etc.
• folder/00, folder/01, etc.
  • This will output a .nsp file.

The python script is writen in Python 3, use the "python3" command instead of "python" when use this program. Tkinter is bundled with a regular Python 3 install, so there's no need to install that.

Anti-virus false positives

There is a standalone executable in the releases (nxDumpMerger_Windows.exe) included for convenience, however it can be triggered by some anti-viruses as a false positive. If this concerns you, you can download and examine the .py script yourself and run it. These kinds of reports are common with "compiled" python scripts.

• Rewritten using the os library to do file management.
  • This won't really make much effect to user experience but it's made the code a lot nicer.
• Increased filename format compatibility.
• Windows compilation is now contained in a single executable rather than a compressed folder.

v0.3.4 2020/11/24

• Fixed a bug where manually selecting an output directory would put the file output in the form dirNameFileName.ext, rather than dirName/FileName.ext.

• Updated error message to be more detailed when a file isn't named correctly.

v0.3.2 2020/09/04

v0.2.1 2020/08/12

• Designed to merge Nintendo Switch dumps from nxdumptool.
  • For NSP parts, dumps should be in format game.nsp/00, game.nsp/01, game.nsp/02 and so on, where game.nsp is a folder.
  • For XCI parts, dumps should be in format game.xc0, game.xc1, game.xc2 and so on.
• This application was quickly chucked together in an afternoon and may have several bugs, which is why I have labelled this pre-release. Please report any bugs or situations where the application has failed so I can improve this.
• The application is written in Python with tkinter, however I have attached a Windows version below which shouldn't require installing Python or any additional libraries.
• This is untested on macOS and Linux, however should work.
