Ninfs

**Warning:** This release has a known issue: New 3DS CTRNAND is not decrypted properly.
* Standalone release users: Use 2.0a10 instead.
* Other installation methods: Use pyctr 0.7.2 or 0.7.4 instead.

----

* Accept non-ASCII game titles for SRL/NDS (some homebrew applications do this)
* Windows Installer: update pre-included WinFsp
* The installer does not update WinFsp for you, if you want to update it, you must do it separately.
* Linux: creating desktop entry now includes the full path to the python3 executable
* Python 3.8 or later is required, this does not affect standalone builds
* Update pyctr requirement to 0.7.x (standalone builds use 0.7.3)
* RomFS performance is improved, especially for titles that contain a large amount of files or directories
* Fix setting TWLNAND keys for devunit NANDs
* For other changes related to pyctr 0.7.x: https://github.com/ihaveamac/pyctr/blob/0.7/CHANGELOG.md
* Other various internal changes

Thanks!

Installation

Windows

The installer includes ninfs and WinFsp. This is the easiest way to use the application.

The standalone release can be downloaded as **ninfs-2.0a11-win32.zip** below the notes. Extract and run `ninfsw.exe` (or `ninfs.exe` to have a console attached).

ninfs can also be used as a Python module below.

macOS

macOS users need [macFUSE](https://osxfuse.github.io) or [fuse-t](https://www.fuse-t.org).

The standalone release can be downloaded as **ninfs-2.0a11-macos.dmg** below the notes. Open the disk image, optionally copy to the Applications folder, and run ninfs.

ninfs can also be used as a Python module below.

Linux

Install as a pip module like below. To use the gui, make sure tkinter is installed. This is `python3-tk` on Debian/Ubuntu and `python3-tkinter` on Fedora.

Arch Linux: (AUR git package still needs updates, please wait...)

Python module installation

Python 3.8.0 or later is required. [Version on PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/ninfs/2.0a11/)

Windows

- `py -3 -mpip install ninfs==2.0a11`

macOS

- `python3 -mpip install ninfs==2.0a11`

Linux

- `python3 -mpip install --user ninfs==2.0a11`
- `--user` is not required if you are using a virtualenv.

* Windows/GUI: Fix tkinter failing to find tcl/tk when installed in paths that contain non-Latin characters
* nandhac: Fix problems loading multipart images on Linux when the mount process is not in the foreground
* macOS: Try to load fuse-t if macFUSE can't be found (103)
* fuse-t is an alternative to macFUSE that doesn't depend on a kernel extension, making it easier to install on modern macOS. It should work just as well but please file issues.
* macOS: Only display filename in volume name and not the containing directory for mounts that do this

------

This release is far from finished! It only has minimal testing. Some features are missing completely, some may not work correctly or at all.

This is a release that is the result of many internal changes under the hood over a year, and there are still more that are coming, before and after 2.0's full release. Testing this release is highly appreciated. Please [file issues on GitHub](https://github.com/ihaveamac/ninfs/issues).

BSD/etc.

No idea. It might work! I would like to make sure ninfs works on these systems too, so feel free to file issues or make PRs for compatibility with BSD or other systems that support libfuse.

fusepy should support FreeBSD and OpenBSD. For anything else you should consider adding support to [refuse](https://github.com/pleiszenburg/refuse).

Python module installation

Python 3.6.1 or later is required. [Version on PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/ninfs/2.0a8/)

- `python3 -mpip install ninfs==2.0a10`

* Mac application is now signed and notarized by Apple
* Fix not showing all drive letters in the Windows GUI mount, only A and B
* Always set write bit in mounts (except SD)
* This makes it easier to deal with files that have been copied out of the mount, since chmod won't be required to set the write bit.
* Include Internet Access Policy for Little Snitch
* Fix DMG build not properly copying the application
* Update WinFSP url

Note about Windows 7

Due to Microsoft discontinuing support for Windows 7, this platform is no longer supported. As soon as the standalone release is updated to use Python 3.9, it will not start. It should still work when used as a Python module, but issues specific to Windows 7 may not be fixed.
