Frequently Asked Questions
What are NSP and XCI files?
NSP is the packaged format used for digital eShop games. XCI is a dump of a physical game card. Both formats run on a modded Switch console and on Switch emulators.
Do I need firmware and keys?
Yes. Emulators and modded consoles need the firmware and encryption keys taken from a console you own. They are not provided on this site.
How do I find a specific game?
Use the search box in the header, or browse the genre pages from the menu to look through games by type.
Why is a download split into parts?
Large games are split so each part stays within the file host’s size limit. Download every part into the same folder, then extract the first part to join them.
What firmware version do I need?
Each game page lists the required firmware under its game details. Any firmware at or above that version will run the game.
Is an account required?
No. Every page on this site can be opened and read without signing up.
Which emulators can I use?
Popular Switch emulators include Suyu and Sudachi for PC and Android. Use them only with game files you legally own.
