=== Dumping binaries (executable files) === | |||
Binaries in Switch titles are stored in a different section known as ExeFS, which is only available in base games and updates. Unlike RomFS data, ExeFS data isn't shared between the update and its base game. | |||
These files can also be dumped using nxdumptool. | |||
* On your Switch, open nxdumptool. Afterwards: | |||
*# '''If you have the gamecard''': Select <code>Dump gamecard content</code>. | |||
*# '''If you have the eShop version''': Select <code>Dump SD card / eMMC content</code>, then select BotW. | |||
* Select <code>ExeFS options</code>. | |||
* Highlight the <code>Use update</code> option and use the left/right buttons to cycle through the available updates for the game. | |||
*# '''If you have no available updates''', this option won't appear. You'll only be able to dump the binaries from the non-updated base game (which is the same to just leaving this option set to <code>No</code>). | |||
*# Updates use <code>01007EF00011E800</code> as their ID. v786432 corresponds to BotW v1.6.0 update. | |||
* Select <code>ExeFS section data dump</code> and wait for the process to finish. This will dump the binaries from the selected update to the inserted SD card. | |||
When you're done, you'll be able to find the output dump in <code>sdmc:/switch/nxdumptool/ExeFS</code>. | |||
