JKSV

Multipurpose tool for Switch.

Info

JKSV on Switch started as a small project/port to test some things and get familiar with libnx. A list of what it currently can do:

1. Dump and restore save data.
   • This includes the ability to dump and restore to/from any location on SD by pressing minus and using the Advanced Mode.
2. Dump system save data
   • Pressing all four shoulder buttons at once will rescan and include the previously unlisted system saves.
   • Dumping this data is allowed, but writing back is not.
3. Open and explore bis storage partitions via the Extras menu
   • BIS Storage is opened inside a basic filebrowser. The partition's listing is on the left. Your SD is on the right.
   • Only copying to SD and file properties work on BIS partitions. Writing to and deleting are disabled for now.
4. Misc Extras:
   • NAND Dumping
   • Ability to remove downloaded firmware updates from NAND.
   • Terminating processes by ID. Allowing you to dump normally unopenable system archives.
   • Mount by System Save ID. Normally used when the terminated process makes JKSV unable to rescan titles without the Switch crashing.

Building:

1. Requires devkitPro and libnx
2. Requires switch-freetype, libpng, and libjpeg-turbo
