Thanks for any help.

Click to expand... Not quite sure what that means, and layeredFS seems to mainly work on physical hardware, I was looking to do this on yuzu...

Pretty much what the titles says, I want to add my games to Steam as non-Steam games but I have no .exe, just NSP or NCA files that I launch directly from Yuzu. How can I do that ? Thanks.

r/yuzu on Reddit: Decrypting .xci and .nca ROMs
June 18, 2018 -
I have a couple switch roms. They are all .xci format. BigBlueBox has released decryption keys for .xci and .nca roms but the application is not understandable and there is no tutorial online on how to decrypt these roms. Please post down in the comments and tell me what you think I need to do. (And no, HactoolGUI will not work. It always errors out.)
P.S. HxD will not find Aes128Crypto IV or encrypted .xci header.
Update: Got Hactool to work. It seems to function correctly. I will try out my roms and see what happens.
It works.
