Switch 2 Game Packager 2.0.0

Switch 2 Game Packager 2.0.0

• New Emulator patch panel: select a Windows x64 emulator folder, check compatibility, add the patch and remove it later. Eglantine build 96 standard/PGO and PokeDinner 2.0.0 GUI/CLI profiles are recognized; matching future builds and forks can be tried experimentally without a new menu entry.
• No separate main.npdm needed after patching: compatible emulators read Switch 2 metadata already embedded inside this packager's plaintext XCI/NSP. Restart the emulator after applying the patch. Existing packages do not need rebuilding, and the packager need not remain open while playing.
• To create only a single XCI/NSP, uncheck Create package folder. The option remains on by default for unpatched emulators; without the patch, retain each game's exact external companion in its own folder. Selecting 12 GiB alone can still use incorrect timing and reduce performance.
• Save exact executable backups, apply changes atomically and restore original bytes on removal. Unknown, ambiguous or signed executables are not modified. Keep .s2gp-patch while patched and re-check after emulator updates; compatibility with every fork/future build is not guaranteed.
• Include the corrected PokeDinner file-reader probe. Startup checks match the external-file path's 31.25 MHz timer; selecting 12 GiB alone and the earlier local patch used 19.2 MHz. Older local patches can be removed before applying this version. These are startup checks, not an FPS guarantee.
• Fix the clipped letters/path field below Browse folder, compact drop-area spacing and the square background around its rounded icon/button.
• Update the startup caution, compatibility notes, source and build instructions. Windows x64 portable app, source and SHA-256 checksums are included. No Linux build is included.
• This remains experimental software. No games, artwork, firmware, retail keys or emulator binaries are included. Piracy is not supported; Nintendo and other rights holders retain ownership of their content and marks.

Portable Windows x64 build. Extract the complete Windows ZIP and run Switch2-XCI-Packager.exe. Source, licenses and build notes are included. No game data, artwork, firmware or retail keys are included.

Caution — experimental: set emulator memory to 12 GiB before testing Switch 2 packages. Use Emulator patch to add embedded-NPDM detection to compatible Windows x64 Eglantine/PokeDinner builds, then restart the emulator. No external main.npdm is needed after patching for supported packages. Uncheck Create package folder for only the XCI/NSP. Without the patch, keep each game with its exact companion; 12 GiB alone can select incorrect timing and reduce performance. The app does not change memory settings. Patching is reversible using the saved originals; retain .s2gp-patch. Unknown builds may require an update. Verification and startup checks do not guarantee gameplay or equal FPS. No Linux build is included.
