If you are only extracting data from NCA files that do not require high-level decryption, this warning can sometimes be ignored. If hactool proceeds despite the warning, you can ignore it. To hide the warning, you can use the flag: --disablekeywarns Use code with caution. Summary Checklist used to generate keys? prod.keys file in ~/.switch/ or hactool folder? Keys match current firmware version? -k flag used in command?
You would modify your syntax to include the absolute path to your keys: hactool -k C:\path\to\your\prod.keys -t xci game.xci Use code with caution.
如果你确认当前操作不需要密钥(如仅查看文件信息或解压NSO),但仍希望控制台清爽,可加入 --disablekeywarns 参数隐藏所有密钥相关的警告输出。 hactool prodkeys does not exist top
Instead of relying on default locations, explicitly tell hactool where your keys are. This is the .

What are you running (Windows, Mac, Linux)? What is the exact command you are typing into the terminal? Summary Checklist used to generate keys
Steam Deck users often face this. The fix is:
To fix this, you need a valid prod.keys file (sometimes referred to as common keys) placed in the exact directory hactool expects, or you must manually point the program to your keys file using command-line arguments. Step 1: Obtain a Valid prod.keys File
