I haven’t done this before personally, but it looks like .pak files can be rebuilt for use on the Switch layerdfs.

That page was kind of a mess. Did you make it to the actual github page with cleaner instructions and better links?

My God.
Those games are not using the same engine. Don't recommend any tool related to any Monster Hunter release. Period.

Kakarot is using Unreal Engine 4.
https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-unpack-and-repack-unreal-engine-4-files.531784/

Textures needs reswizzling and resizing.
Audio needs reconverting to supported codec.
And any code injection requires completely new approach specific to Switch release. If you know nothing about reverse engineering, then you won't do anything.

My guess is you missed first point of second tab...

1. Copy *.pak file you want to check to unpacked UnrealPakSwitch folder.

I'm the same brother, I think you are on the right path. Don't listen to masagrator, he seems like the typical idiot who doesn't know what he's talking about even though he has a vague idea. brother, please try it... the last step would be to convert the extracted and modified folders into .nsp or .xci files with the nca sdk and so on, it is complicated. The only thing I want is to create a cinema mode by eliminating the hud and other excess elements of this spectacular game, but it seems not easy.

You are actually wrong, you dont need to convert into .nsp, today i made my first Kakarot switch mod using the pakchunk files from switch and the asset editor, you just need to repack the files folder after editing them in a new .pak
