Task fails encrypting file
profucius opened this issue · 8 comments
I am converting a large NSP file (16gb), but it fails towards the end of the encryption phase. It successfully decrypts, and runs through all the blocks, then when encrypting (I've tried this multiple times) it will catch approx here.
PS- Not sure why the error mentions Users\nico\ as I do not have a user named that.
Thanks a lot for reporting this issue. Could you please let me know on what game (Name or TitleID) this issue occurs so I can reproduce and fix it? What you get is a verification error which means something went wrong without the program noticing it and so purposely crashed during verification to prevent delivering you a corrupted output. The reason why the error is mentioning my username is because the debug information that are shipped with the software where created on my PC and so doesn’t matter.
I found another NSP that fails in the same way: Katana Zero [v65535]
I tested both games and they worked perfectly fine for me using nsZip v2.0.0p2. This is probably due to the NSPs you are trying to compress aren’t clean. The first half of the NCA files sha256 hash is supposed to match the NCA filename. This is no longer the case if the NSP was modified for example to use mods without LayeredFS or in the past to remove fake tickets from illegally obtained games in the wrong hope to make banns less likely und are still circulating around some dark places on the internet. Maybe there are also some dumping tools not dumping them properly or they were damaged before dumping for some reason.
I could easily add support for corrupted NSP files to nsZip by hashing the encrypted original NCA if the filename doesn't match the hash but let's first make sure my assumption are true for this issue because in the end it could also be some compatibility issue that's causing something to not work properly on your PC and we need to investigate further.
I wrote and attached a nice Python script for you which you can use to verify if your NSP file is corrupted or not: verifyNSP.txt
In order to run it install Python 3, copy the script into the same folder as your NSP file and run it in your CMD or PS (Shift + Right click the on an empty space inside the folder and select "Open PowerShell Window here") using "python.exe .\verifyNSP.txt" and send me the last few lines showing the hashes like I did for my "Katana Zero v65536.nsp" below. Please let me know if you used any wired tool to dump the NSP but don't link illegal pages because I don't want to give Nintendo any legal reason to take this project down. In case you have Discord and prefer comunicating over there feel free to post your Username#Tag.
Last few lines of output I'm getting from verifyNSP.py I'm getting from my script:

CLEAN NSP!
Edit: Sorry forgot to mention that you also need to copy hactool.exe into the folder of your NSP in order to successfully run verifyNSP.txt
Alright I was able to grab what you asked for in your write-up above. I found many more examples of NSPs that would not process (although the majority of NSPs do process fine), so this time I used two different games. I did not dump these myself but obtained them online about a year ago so I don't remember where. They both say "Clean NSP"

CLEAN NSP!
@nicoboss Hi there, checking in, is there anything else I can test or do to help?
Great that you are still willing to help with this issue! I really tried hard but was never able to recreate it so far even when testing games where nearly all NCAs match your above posted hashes.
Most helpful would probably be testing nsZip_v2.0.0_debug_v1_Issue3.zip and see if the issue happens there too. This will let us know if this issue only affects the portable preview builds which don’t have any software requirements checks or also happens on clean release build like the one posted above. Please keep in mind that even though this was built like a release build it’s the complete opposite in terms of stability and won’t receive any updates others then builds made for the sake of fixing this issue and so should be uninstalled once this issue is resolved.
Giving me your PC configurations would be helpful as I could use them to recreate an envirement similar to your PC inside a virtual machine. To get hardware/software information go Windows & R => enter dxdiag => "Save All information" also go Powershell and enter the following command to get a list of all installed programs - I'm especially interested in the .NET ones.
Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\* | Select-Object DisplayName, DisplayVersion, Publisher, InstallDate | Format-Table –AutoSize > InstalledPrograms.txt
If you have the time you could send me your Discord username and we could try solving the issue together with tools like live chat, screenshots, voice chat and screen sharing. I currently have a lot of time until university starts again in around a month but I definitely don't expect you having time for such things and completely understand if you prefer keep writing here.
I am having the same issue with astral chain, how do I go about fixing it? Also so when you install the compress nsz will it install as a smaller game on my switch card?
