Switcheroo Lite

A fork of nxshot that has some improved internals and support for nswdb's titleid format.

NOTE: As of version 11.0.0, you do not necessarily need to use this program as Nintendo does this automatically when connecting your switch to a computer via System Settings > Data Management > Manage Screenshots and Videos > Copy to a Computer via USB Connection

Usage

This can also be obtained by running the python script with the --help flag

  -u, --update-cache    Update cached games list via online database. Requires key.txt to be present
  -r, --include-regions
                        Include game region - USA, JPN, etc. - in the folder name
  --overwrite           Overwrite file if it already exists

How to Use

• Download the repository as a zip file
• Download/Ensure Python 3.6+ is installed - make sure export to PATH is enabled
• Install required libraries with pip install -r requirements.txt
• Extract zip folder and run the script via command line python switcheroo_lite.py [path/to/Nintendo/Album/]

Use of key.txt

key.txt holds a hard coded key which is stored within the Nintendo Switch. It's used for programatically decrypting online titleIDs into screenshot IDs. It's possible to use this program without it - you just can't run --update-cache

How to update game IDs cache without key.txt

Open up gameids.json in Notepad++ or an equivalent program (regular Notepad not recommended). In "progammer terms" this uses the JSON file format where each screenshot id maps to a game name. Format is as follows:

"SCREENSHOT_ID": "GAME_NAME",

Essentially, you want to add the game as a new line in between the two curly brackets. To do this, take the garbled text at the end of a screenshot/video as the first quoted value; the game name is the second value.

For example, say we had the image 2017030311400900-F1C11A22FAEE3B82F21B330E1B786A39.jpg that was taken in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. We would get F1C11A22FAEE3B82F21B330E1B786A39 from the end of the filename to be our screenshot id. If gameids.json already has this screenshot id, you can simply update the game name that follows F1C11A22FAEE3B82F21B330E1B786A39. If gameids.json does not contain the screenshot id, then we would then add the following line to our gameids.json file like so:

"F1C11A22FAEE3B82F21B330E1B786A39": "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild",

The double quotes around the items and the comma at the end of the line are required.

Note: the program will remove any invalid characters (colon, question mark, etc.) from the folder name automatically
