Keys

NXPress needs your own prod.keys, dumped from your own console with a key dumping tool. None is included, and NXPress never downloads it or sends it anywhere.

Where it looks for it

1. The file chosen in Settings › prod.keys, or the one of --keys on the command line (a file, or a folder holding one).
2. A prod.keys or keys.txt next to NXPress.
3. In the working folder.
4. In ~/.switch, the folder nsz and hactool use too.

A file without header_key is no prod.keys, whatever else it holds, and NXPress refuses it.

The keys of each game

The title keys come from the ticket of each game, inside its NSP. No separate title.keys is needed.

What works without keys

Recompress needs no keys: it writes an NSZ again, solid or in blocks, without the NSP in between. FAT32 does not use them either. Everything else reads the content of the files and needs them.

Warning

Never post your keys: also not in issues, logs or screenshots. Copy report does not include them.
