4NXC AND I - THE KEYS TO GREATNESS

So you want to convert one of these pesky XCI files to good ol' NSP? Fear not, mortal! Help is near!!!

1. Get 4NXCI for your OS

	Windows: https://github.com/The-4n/4NXCI/releases
	MacOS: https://github.com/The-4n/4NXCI/files/3101395/4nxci-v4.03_macos.zip
	Linux: https://anonfile.com/q0m7Jck5n3/4nxci-v4.03-linux_zip

	Linux and MacOS don't get official builds. Those version were compiled by users.
	Credit, Thanks and fluffy hugs  to hbgs own guts for the Linux build.


2. Get a proper keyset

	Get !keys and save them as keys.dat. (Ctrl/CMD + S) Easy, right!? Of course, you could use your very own ones,
	that you dumped because SDSetup told you to. Let's face it: They're probably outdated and thus won't work.

3. GIVE NSP!!!

	3.1. Windows

	I assume you are using the GUI version of 4NXCI. Because why wouldn't you!? If you knew how command line shit
	worked, you wouldn't be reading this, right?

	Just place the keys.dat file in the same folder as the 4nxci-GUI.exe.

	1. Start GUI.
	2. Select XCI and output folder. Keys should already be detected.
	3. DON'T FUCK WITH THE CHECKBOXES, IF YOU DON'T EXACTLY KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING THERE!
	4. Hit Convert.

	3.2. MacOS and Linux - Command Line Legends

	Because nothing good happens to good people, Unix nerds don't get a proper GUI for now. You have to stick with your terminal.

	1. Open Terminal
	2. cd to your output folder.
	3. drop 4NXCI binary here -k drop keys.dat here drop XCI here

	Example:
	/Users/fuckface/Documents/4nxci/4nxci -k /Users/fuckface/Documents/4nxci/keys.dat /Users/fuckface/Downloads/CompleteShit [v0].xci

	4. Hit Enter.

	Linux people might have to add sudo, because sometimes Linux is weird that way.
	Add your stuff to your environment variables, if you want. I'm lazy af. Drag and Drop works.

	3.3 We're good here.

	After quite some time (relative to how good your PC is) where a lot of extracting, patching and packing will be done,
	4NXCI will literally tell you, that it's Done.

	By default your NSPs will be named titleid.nsp

	Example: 0100F2200C984000.nsp for Mortal Kombat 11

4. IZ NOT WORKING, TOPH HELP!!!

	1. 4NXCI doesn't work. I just get NCA files!!!

	Congratulations, you are dumb and you have no idea how stupid you sound!

	Really, tho: The conversion process is a little more complex then changing the suffix from .xci to .nsp. Be patient.
	Stuff like that needs time, especially if you are on shitty hardware. Have faith. You'll get your NSP, as soon 4NXCI is Done.

	2. Can I use CXCI (Custom XCI)?

	NO.

	Well, technically you can. Your conversion will at least lead to an installable base.
	Chances are, your Update and DLC content will be fucked and will lead to errors at game start, if you install them anyways.

	3. I get an error about my keys not working or something.

	Again, your Keys are probably shitty and outdated. Just use !keys, ffs!
