How do you decrypt Switch eShop games? by simonmkwii at 9:30 PM EST on February 19, 2018
I couldn't help but notice the music rip of the "project OCTOPATH TRAVELLER" demo.

I assume PegaSwitch commands are required to dump the games and console-unique keys, but which ones, and how would you use hactool to decrypt the HFS0 partition with the dumped keys?

This would be extremely helpful info, as there are many eShop-exclusive games that I would die to get the files for!

OK, judging by the responses it's clearly fake.

It's obviously just an HDMI rip converted to .hca.

Never mind, then.

I wish eShop ripping was possible though...

I don’t upload fake rips so stop spewing shit out of your mouth like it’s your ass. I’m sure you can figure out how to dump eshop games using pegaswitch just like how you allegedly figured out how to obtain keys and complain about not receiving credit. If you haven’t figured it out yet, no one is gonna tell you how this process works, not me nor anyone else on this forum and especially not the ReSwitched team, so you’re better off on your own trying to figure out the ins and outs of the switch like everyone else. Especially not after you tried to bash me, RandomTalkingBush, and SciresM on GBATemp because of Super Mario Odyssey magically appearing out of nowhere and its assets dumped and decrypted. We waited 3 months and after careful consideration, finally decided to release its music to the public. The problem is people like you who ruin it for everyone else by feeling entitled to this stuff. Just take what you can get. No questions asked and no begging and poking where you shouldn’t. Now, you either keep your mouth shut, behave like a good little boy, and play nice around here, otherwise we’re permabanning you from this forum. Consider this your last warning.

And seeing as how the Switch is only JUST coming up on having been out for one year only, it's pretty petty to be acting so high and mighty about getting music rips from it. Be incredibly thankful that we have anything to begin with and try to understand that it's obviously not going to be easy at all until better tools are created.

Xbox One and PS4 have been out for 4 years with nothing yet and you don't see anyone whining and demanding stuff.

Well plenty of ps4 releases recently and very thankful so hope sometime the xbone will be cracked but it might end up using typical xma so the ps4 atrac9 music rips are fantastic to have do early :-)

Yes everyone should be happy with what has been released thus far.

simon, see:
https://boards.4chan.org/vg/thread/205781168#p205861469
Odyssey, XC2, this, have all been possible because of SciresM. So stop asking how to do this stuff yourself.

Awesome, links showing up in 4chan too? Time to takedown switch.joshw.info because some asshat likes to show off to prove a point (let trolls be, don’t use our archives for your battle). This is why we can’t have nice things guys. And I know exactly who posted it too.

Edit: switch is down temporarily due to too much hot linking in random places (GBATemp, ffshrine, 4chan, etc.) and idiots. Will be back up in a few days. I want the shitstorm and attention to die down a bit.

So, have you banned him? Yes, good.
If not. FINISH HIM
by RebeccaSugar at 11:22 PM EST on February 20, 2018
Also, you could have just temporarily removed the octopath file, couldn't you? Unless the entire site is being linked. I see people told the dumbass off on cuckchan as well, gg

I think you're confusing me with somebody else...

I am a regular on GBATemp and TCRF but I never visit 4chan, I don't know how I am even remotely connected with this.

I never claimed to extract the keys either, I don't even have them.

Where did anyone get this information from?

Also, I looked at that 4chan link, and the racist/homophobic abuse those people are spouting is absolutely disgusting.

I swear on my life I have absolutely nothing to do with that, I merely asked a question on extracting eShop games.

How did I get tied up in this mess? I do not want 4chan anywhere near my life, so the allegations of me being connected to the racist bastards who live there make me seriously upset.

You've convinced me to give up learning Switch stuff.

I'll stick to GameCube and DS stuff which I'm confident in.

I'm sorry for wasting your time with these questions.

@bxaimc
I knew the rip was 100% real, the comment was directed at the trolls to get a response other than "( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)", I thought someone would correct me.

Unfortunately I didn't consider the amount of effort you must have gone to when ripping the files, and I can see why you're upset at me for the false accusation.

I know what it feels like to spend months doing something only to have it undermined by some dickhead on the internet. That "dickhead" was me.

I'm not going to blame anybody else, even if I feel that provocation was involved for the inflammatory accusation. I wrote it, I need to own up to it.

Therefore I am seriously sorry for all the trouble and stress I have caused you and the community during the past few weeks, and as a further apology I would like to do something to help the community.

May I ask, are there any audio/video file formats with an algorithm yet to be solved?

I have lots of experience in this area, and helping everybody out is the only way I can truly make up for what I have taken away.

Best Regards,

Simon

Always remember: Trolling the trolls never solves anything.

@MoldyPond
It's a very valuable lesson.
I shouldn't have made the response in the first place.

And it just occurred to me what the "( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)" meant.

I feel even dumber now, I just realised that's the title of SciresM's 4.1.0 TZ reveal video.

Well, more generally ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°), commonly known as "Le Lenny Face", originated on 4chan on November 18, 2002: https://www.dailydot.com/wp-content/uploads/cf6/69/1f4.png
