Backing up switch games

Mr.Fantastic · 2022-03-24 00:49:19

Hi all , sorry if this is against the rules but is there anyway to dump switch games I own without running cfw on a switch? Was thinking about getting the ROMs from the games I own and emulating them on the steam deck ? Don't see a way around this other than have custom firmware on switch anyway to do this solely through Pc

No, you'll need a modified Switch to bypass any of its security.

Not sure that the steam deck runs many switch games that well either

MOD: Asked and answered, I'm going to close this thread as it does contravene the rules, as may further answers and advice.
