Hi, I have access to a paid shop but have 2 Nintendos. This shop decided after a while that the "licenses" changed from being able to use on 2 devices to just 1.

Now it's hard to keep mine and my SO's Nintendos games on the same version...

I was wondering if I could host them on my pc somehow and create an eshops connection just like a normal shop. Then I could download the games from the paid shop, somehow pull them from the switch to the server and there it is. The other switch just has to connect and update.

Is something like this possible? (sorry if the text is all over the place, it's late and I ran out of ADHD meds ๐Ÿ™ƒ. Hope you were still able to decipher what I meant)

When you dump the game, you will have a base, update, and DLCs.

For example:

Mario Kart 8(v0)(base).nsp

Mario Kart 8(v65536)(update).nsp

Mario Kart 8(v65536)(dlc).nsp

Then you can host those files on the shop, and any shop users will be able to grab the base, updates, and any dlc.

Hey!

Not sure if you're able to help me out here.

Tried to dump my games from DBI but I only got some really tiny files. Still decided to put them on the folder and my switch saw the games and updates there but when I clicked I had some weird error.

I thought it was weird that the files were so small so I deleted everything and decided to look up online. Turns out if the games were installed with Tinfoil you can't extract them with DBI. So I opened tinfoil MTP on my pc and copied the proper game files into the store folder.

However now the store shows up as empty :( Any ideas?

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.

https://github.com/julesontheroad/NSC_BUILDER

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.
