In my search for knowledge about piracy and the dastardly fellows who partake in it, I came across an issue. How do these pirates attain nintendo switch games? i can’t seem to understand. may anyone who is well versed in this topic provide some knowledge? much appreciated.
The first batch of Nintendo switch (millions and millions) have an unpatchable flaw that allows the owner to run whatever he wants. They use this flaw to run a program that simply extracts the files from the game cartridge
I should mod my switch hahaha
There’s not much to mod if you have the first gen hardware. A 3D printed part and a paperclip can get the exploit going for ya
Oooo that sounds easy! I’ve done my PSP, Vita, and 3DS so I shouldn’t have much issue. I do indeed have a first Gen switch.
I found it easier than my vita, but harder than my 3ds
Beautiful. At least I don’t have to flash a battery’s firmware like I did with my friends’ PSP-2000s hahahaha
I spent nine hours on my 3DS, then the next day a new method of modding came out that took under an hour. Shoulda waited a day!
You can pull the game files off the cartridge, using specialized software, such as NSP-dumptool, you can get files from the Internet, that other people uploaded.
Well, I’m never using stt again.
Are you trying to be subtle? If not then a modded switch and a program to dump a title do the job. If you are trying to be subtle then the internet.
ripped from the console itself
If it’s early release it’s a warehouse leak most likely that then gets dumped from a modded console (xci format). Some users convert xci to nsp for reasons unknown to me. Might be that switch cartridges have extra padding at the beginning/end that can be stripped to reduce file size.
Otherwise it’s just a standard dump from a modded console in either eShop (nsp) or physical (xci) format
I’ve been out of the loop since year botw. Can anything other than xecuter cfw run xci now?
Early versions of the switch can easily be hacked, even on later models, you can still install a modchip and dump the games along with the firmware. We will always be 20 steps ahead of Nintendo.
