After further testing, it does appear to be file specific. My problem is with the dump of
Ghost Master - Resurrection [01001E1025696000] [v0].xci
It has a base game v0 @20.0.0.0 and an update v65536 @21.0.1.0

It's a great option to use if you wish to have a 'clean' XCI dump and just keep a separate update file (or DLC) which can then be easily replaced with newer versions.

It would be great if cxfcxf could fix this feature, because it's such a great working alternative the old NSCB which now can't work with +20 firmware/key revisions.

Fixed in v0.1.16.
This should stop --dspl / split XCI from sometimes creating the stray empty no-extension file/folder you reported.
I added coverage for this in the parity test suite and reran the full Python parity check before releasing.
If you still see it on v0.1.16, send me:

• the exact command you used
• the game/file name
• and a screenshot or file listing of the output folder

Tried the same files and worked fine now, ill do a heavier test later today and back to you if i face the same behavior again.

Thanks a lot.

I did a offensive, progressive and violent test on the function, it works almost flawlsly.

I even splited to files nsp files that was already splitted. Almost all games turned fine at end, metadata intact all except splatoon 2 dlcs which looks like looses its metadata is i split to files it from nsp to nsp again. After that if i use the rename function it will not resolve the names.

IMHO its already good enough.

What ill try next is scrap files from different sources and check if its with the original files or the process.

Again, thanks a lot bro. Amazing tool.
