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.
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?
Most of my roms are in NSP format for some reason, I’m playing with an emulator though, my switch isnt hacked.
