ProdinfoReader is a GUI application for Windows designed to analyze decrypted Nintendo Switch PRODINFO files. It provides a detailed breakdown of internal calibration data, hardware identifiers, and system information stored within a console’s PRODINFO partition. The program is fully portable, does not require manual Python setup, and automatically manages its dependencies on first launch.

The tool focuses on presenting a complete console profile including network identifiers, hardware vendors, and cosmetic details such as color variants and model designations.

Features

Multi-tab interface with six detailed sections.
Full hardware analysis (LCD vendor, sensors, battery data, and analog sticks).
Extraction of WLAN and Bluetooth MAC addresses.
Color and bezel design data including RGB hex values.
Integrity validation using SHA256 hashing.
Raw data hex viewer for the first 1024 bytes.
Automatic report generation in text format.
Self-contained launcher with dark GUI theme.

Requirements

Windows 7, 8, 10, or 11 (32-bit or 64-bit).
Internet connection only required on first run (for Python and dependency setup).
Supports only decrypted PRODINFO files (.bin or .dec).

Usage

Run ProdinfoReader.exe — first launch will automatically install Python if needed.
Select a decrypted PRODINFO file from your computer.
The tool will parse and display console information across multiple tabs.
Use Save Complete Report to export text files with full analysis data.

Information Extracted

Console model and serial number (Erista, V2, Lite, OLED, etc.).
WLAN/Bluetooth addresses, region, and product model info.
Hardware vendor data (LCD, touch IC, sensors, battery).
Console color specification and base RGB values.
File integrity checks including size and hash validation.

Notes

Only decrypted PRODINFO files are accepted; encrypted ones will fail to load.
The application performs offline, read-only analysis with no data transmission.
Performance may vary depending on first-run Python setup time.
