Fuse-Nx is an utility tool that exposes the internals of various Nintendo Switch formats as a filesystem though FUSE.

It can also search for file inside archives, and directly extract them.

Installation

fuse-nx:

• sudo meson install -C build
• For users of Arch-based distros, an AUR package is available.

Python bindings:

• sudo python setup.py install
• Or just pip install -U git+https://github.com/averne/Fuse-Nx.git.

User guide

Supported formats

• Nca (only AES-CTR encrypted/plaintext NCA3s are supported, BKTR encryption (for update NCAs) is unsupported)
• Xci
• Pfs
• Hfs
• Romfs

Formats are recognized based on magicnums/numeric contants present in their headers, and not their extensions.

How to use

Refer to the built-in help (-h/--help). You can find help on a specific subcommand using fuse-nx <subcmd> --help, or fuse-nx --help-all.

Windows is supported via:

• WinFsp - Make sure that winfsp-x64.dll (found in C:\Program Files (x86)\WinFsp\bin after installing) is present in the same directory as the executable;
• WSL - To access the filesystem through the explorer, you will need to pass the -o allow_other flag to FUSE when mounting, and add user_allow_other to /etc/fuse.conf.

Project layout

• lib - Library (fnx) for parsing the supported file formats;
• src - Source code for the main application;
• bindings - CPython (3) bindings for the library;
• scripts - example Python scripts using these bindings.
