Description

During the build process at the @@stage lift Translating the game to PC code step, the process crashes with a ValueError indicating that the extracted rtld binary is not recognized as a valid NSO.

Steps to Reproduce

Launch HookshotBuilder.
Provide the game dump The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of TIme [04004860224DEC000].nup
Start the build process.
The extraction completes (186592 files written), main is converted (ZBIC -> plain NSO), but the process fails immediately when loading ExeFS modules in lift.py.

Looks like this should be fixed in commit - 9eff529a11. Kicking off another build to confirm

Fixed in the latest HookshotBuilder.zip. Your .nup stores some files compressed and the old builder didn’t unpack them. Please download it again and retry. If it still fails, click Show details and paste the full text here.
