I’m looking to back up all my switch games using DBI MTP responder. In the installed games partition there is the folder containing the base, updates, and dic as separate files. Also in this folder is a single nsp b+ file containing base, updates, and dic. Which is better for external storage incase I need them? Also if I go...
Go with separate nsp for base, update, and dlc. That is the standard way to dump games. Combining them into one is a bad idea and you’ll be stuck with an outdated bundled update later if a new update comes out.
I don’t think Scires will do anything more than that. He is just covering his ass, because providing a feature in fusee that is used for nothing but piracy isn’t a good look.
That’s why he mentioned looking for other types of IPS patches. If he found any, he likely would’ve kept the feature and used it as justification to leave it in fusee.

I hate AIOs in general, but this isn’t as bad as some I’ve seen. Still got quite some issues though. You should clean up that contents folder.
Lots of completely useless stuff there. For example 010000000001013 can actually cause problems during boot and doesn’t do anything. A lot of other random sysmodules that are unnecessary to 99% of users as well.
Crap dnsmitm config that uses the 127.0.0.1 *nintendo* line, which is very general and uses more resources to filter. The rentry or nhguide’s dnsmitm configs are far better.
Mission control is installed, but it’s BT patches are missing, so it’s not going to work.
There’s a system settings file in config for some reason, but doesn’t appear to have any modifications.
The Hekate ini has no way to boot syscfw for users that want it. (And uses cal0blank even though exosphere.ini already exists)
Recently got into the homebrew scene for switch. Migrating over from the 3ds. I plan on going the DDL route with jdownloader2 (unless someone has a better idea and can share lol). NSP vs XCI for base game files? What are the pros and cons of each? What do you use? I don’t plan on doing any online play or ever using stock FW...
I would prefer nsp/nsz since those are eShop dumps and intended to be installed into the system.
Xcis are gamecard dumps and weren’t intended to be installed, so the installer has to modify it in order for the console to pick it up as a digital copy.
Basically, the nsp is just cleaner - you install the game without any modifications, and just register the ticket for it to the system.
To add onto this, this is THE best way to get into Pro shops and pro-only access stashes like NekoDrive or Tits Pro. The Missing Content finder discord can help you locate missing content to buy and donate.
Hi, I’ve installed a picofly (hwfly clone) on my mariko, and followed the rentry guide. But I have some questions and I don’t find this answer anywhere:...
OLED is the nicest option, but you need to install a modchip to use it, or get one that’s chipped.
If you can’t do that, get an unpatched V1. Make sure to check the serial number of the console you are buying however! Not all V1 are unpatched, so you have to be careful.
When buying, you can go ahead and ignore all models that say HAC-001(-01) on the back, as those are V2’s, and guaranteed to be patched. HAC-001 is a V1.
NSCB is great software and I personally recommend it. It does work to verify new games if you provide it with an up-to-date prod.keys from your console. Super easy to setup on Windows as well, just download and extract the zip file, get your prod.keys file from your console, rename it to keys.txt, and place it in the ztools folder inside the NSCB files. Run NSCB.exe, select option 1 for individual processing, drop in an nsp, start processing, select 8 to verify files, and then option 3 for full integrity+sig1+hash verification.
It was a failure because it used GDrive and ran into quotas. Once enough people got on the shop and started downloading, everything got rate-limited and unusable.
Yes, but make sure you have dns-mitm setup to block Nintendo servers. You can confirm this by booting into emummc, then checking the dnsmitm startup logs. A report will be generated in sd:/atmosphere/logs called dns_mitm_startup.log. Open this file in Notepad and confirm it looks something like this, where it has Nintendo domains redirected to 127.0.0.1:
Also, NEVER launch the Tinfoil installer on sysCFW/sysNAND. I know it’s impossible to do in Stock because there is no HBMenu, but it is possible if you boot Atmosphere on Sys. Be careful not to do that, or else you will get banned.
To set up Source Shop, join the GG server, complete the verification, then go in the #information channel and click on the pinned message. Click the checkmark to react, and you will get the Tinfoil addresses needed for the shop.
Convenience. Tinfoil shops provide the convenience level of the normal eShop. You just open Tinfoil, select the game, and Tinfoil will download and install the game directly from the shop. You don’t need to navigate any websites, copy links, or bypass url shorteners.
I agree, Sourceshop isn’t very reliable right now from what I hear due to the extremely restrictive GDrive quotas. LiberaShop doesn’t seem to have these issues.

That makes no sense, Tinfoil doesn’t install games differently. You should definitely be able to dump games off the switch using DBI. Anyway, test the files you dumped with NSC_Builder to confirm they can be decrypted fine and have intact signatures.
Simply download the app, extract to your PC. Copy the prod.keys in /switch on your SD to NSC_Builder’s ztools folder. Rename prod.keys to keys.txt in the ztools folder. Run NSCB.exe, then select 1 for individual processing, and drag on your nsp. Then 1 to start processing, 8 to verify files, and select 3 for full Integrity+Sig1+Hash verification. That way you can confirm that your dump is intact and functional.
Anyway, not sure about the store since I don’t currently run any Tinfoil Shops myself.

We all know the 3ds is comically easy to hack, do you think the switch will reach that level of ease?...
