ROM Extraction from Nintendo Switch Online apps (NES, SNES, GB, N64, GBA, Genesis) #73

Open PW5190 opened 1 year ago

I have a question. Will ROM extraction from the Nintendo Switch Online applications work for NES, Super NES, Game Boy, Nintendo 64, Game Boy Advance, and SEGA Genesis games? I just wanted to ask. I've yet to dump all six apps using NXDumpTool and dissect the filesystem. We know the NSO apps are getting official updates by Nintendo to either fix bugs/errors or to add new games to the service.

By the way, if ROM extraction from the NSO apps can be possible using various homebrew methods, keep me posted, OK?

I would think that would fall under piracy, since you need a paying subscription to play them.

This would indeed fall under Piracy. Since you do not own the ROMs, only have been permitted the use them while paying for NSO with it's terms and agreements. I believe it's possible to get your hands on them, however at that point you might as well find an easier to acquire copy from elsewhere. Or purchasing the ROMs from the Wii U, 3DS eShops or various other ROM collections before they're gone.
