Recently got into the homebrew scene for switch. Migrating over from the 3ds. I plan on going the DDL route with jdownloader2 (unless someone has a better idea and can share lol). NSP vs XCI for base game files? What are the pros and cons of each? What do you use? I don’t plan on doing any online play or ever using stock FW ever again if that changes anything. Thanks.
I would prefer nsp/nsz since those are eShop dumps and intended to be installed into the system.
Xcis are gamecard dumps and weren’t intended to be installed, so the installer has to modify it in order for the console to pick it up as a digital copy.
Basically, the nsp is just cleaner - you install the game without any modifications, and just register the ticket for it to the system.
Thank you
