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

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.

If you don’t have a 3D printer, you can buy the jig for like $5 online. Then it’s just a matter of sliding the jig into the joycon port and rebooting… bam hacked switch.

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.

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.
