[Help needed] Pirate stores? (self.switchpirates)
submitted 1 year ago by avattar to c/switchpirates@lemmy.dbzer0.com

I'm looking for something to download er... stuff... directly on the switch, but not tinfoil or not blawar related. Does something like that exists?

Possible, but you'll need to use torrents, DDL sites, or usenet. rutracker.org has lots of switch roms, and 1337x.to have some as well.

For shitty ddl options, we've got nsw2u.com and nxbrew, but you need to make sure you have uBlock Origin and FastForward extensions. JDownloader2 can also help, since you can grab the shortlinks to the rom files, plug them into JD2, and JD2 will automatically grab the file and bypass the redirects.

You could grab nszs/nsps at the above locations and then use DBI MTP to install the nsp directly to your switch from a PC.

See here for a guide: https://rentry.org/NSUSBInstall/#dbi-installer-mtp

If you can donate a missing dump to get access to Pro Shops, you will also get access to Neko Drive, which is another great source of games, served directly from Google Drive, no Tinfoil shops or blawar software needed.

Too bad they closed Pro Shops for new users, because missing dumps are de facto an entry barrier

Oh for sure. Missing dumps are hard to get, but you may be able to do it by visiting the Teknik discord server and securing a new game that comes out.

Wait can you do that? I didn’t know that was possible, but now that I think about it doesn’t seem easier, it will be a wild race against other users wanting to join the Pro Shops as well

[-] Sanrasxz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

It's not easy, no. It's possible though. From what I heard from another guy that has access to pro shops, a couple new people get pro access every day. It won't be super easy, but definitely doable.

I’ll try and look into it, thx!
