[Tutorial] Ripping Guide for Animal Crossing New Horizons
#1
New Guide (can also extract data from update files):
Files that you need for this Guide:
Switch Hactool - https://github.com/SciresM/hactool/releases
An Animal Crossing New Horizons .nsp (Google for that)
Optional: An Animal Crossing New Horizons update .nsp (Google for that)
prod.keys (Google for that) - Don't post yours here as it is illegal to share them.

Switch Toolbox - https://github.com/KillzXGaming/Switch-T...TAL_LATEST

For the base game + update file:
1. Unzip the Switch Hactool and put your prod.keys in the same folder
2. Open cmd and navigate to your folder. Then run these two commands to extract the .nca files from the .nsp files:
    hactool.exe -t pfs0 --pfs0dir=base_nca your_base.nsp and hactool.exe -t pfs0 --pfs0dir=update_nca your_update.nsp
    ( Of course, you have to replace your_base.nsp and your_update.nsp with the path to your two .nsp files )
3. Then open the "update_nca" folder and open the .tik file with a hex editor of your choice. Copy the title key which is located at 0x180.
4. Now execute this command: hactool.exe -k prod.keys --basenca="base_nca/your_base.nca" --titlekey=your_titlekey --romfsdir --exefsdir="exefs" "update_nca/your_update.nca"
    ( Replace "your_titlekey" with the title key that you just copied, also replace "your_base.nca" with the name of your biggest base game nca file and lastly replace "your_update.nca" with the name of your biggest update nca file ) 
5. Wait until the extraction process is finished, then you can open the switch toolbox and use it to view and export most of the game files.

For the base game only:
1. Unzip the Switch Hactool and put your prod.keys in the same folder
2. Open cmd and navigate to your folder. Then run this command to extract the .nca files from the .nsp file:
    hactool.exe -t pfs0 --pfs0dir=base_nca your_base.nsp 
    ( Of course, you have to replace your_base.nsp with the path to your .nsp file )
3. Now execute this command: hactool.exe base_nca/your_base.nca -k prod.keys --romfsdir --exefsdir="exefs"
    ( Replace "your_base.nca" with the name of the biggest base game nca file 
4. Wait until the extraction process is finished, then you can open the switch toolbox and use it to view and export most of the game files.

Please note that Hactool will always show: "[WARN] prod.keys does not exist.", you can just ignore that.
