I think jdownloader2 can't solve those url shorteners for now, but if you have tampermonkey installed you can try this script: https://adsbypasser.github.io/
It will auto skip those ad url shorteners. With Buster (a captcha solver using audio recongnition), you can get the download link in one click.
It's really fucking annoying that the shops are always either closing to the public and remain "for profit" or just vanish entirely. Just find a host that won't be bullied into submission by Nintendo (a Chinese one would do) and stop being greedy with it! Accept donations but don't force us to pay your hosting costs++.

I was store user for a long time, I gave up and started using romsite + DBI. It works better than store, you get things early than stores, but requires a PC. If you have a PC available, you should try it out.
once a moderator here, don't remember who, gave me a warn because I gave the first letter of a rom site. You gave MUCH MUCH more with this post of yours, is it allowed now? to give easy hints to people find what they want to?
It's a genuine question, I'm not complaining about my warn or anything, I would love to be allowed to tell the name of rom sites, stores, etc. Not giving the links makes sense, but not telling the the names makes no sense IMO.

Please give me an example of a shop tied to missing dumps that is "for profit". Also you sounds kind of entitled when you say "Just find a host that won't be bullied into submission by Nintendo (a Chinese one would do) and stop being greedy with it! Accept donations but don't force us to pay your hosting costs++." No shop is being greedy with these dumps lmao The cost of storage and bandwidth is insane. You're lucky these shops even existed in the first place.

Why are people paying for Nintendo’s less than subpar membership? Why do people pay for game pass?
People pay for convenience. It really isn’t a difficult concept. The torrents, websites, etc. all have a higher risk associated with them than a shop that may or may not have a “best by” date.
That said, I haven’t needed access to these shops since I bought my OLED, but for some reason I still have it… Actually surprised any of them are still up because they’ve had issues with Google for a while now..
Why pay the people who put zero effort into these things though? It's more effort to mod the switch, pay for the service, and get it all working. Much simpler to just go into the shop and buy.
Nintendo has enough connections in china to shut down mod chip manufacturer multiple times, so don't count on that..
TBH the best way to obtain games is from scene release groups directly, if you don't have time/energy staying in private trackers just wait for repackers to release them on file host sites or torrenting on public trackers.
Again they are just exploiting google drive/one drive/sharepoint, different loopholes. Storing TBs of data and dealing with PBs of traffic could cost thousands of dollars per month, simply no way they are paying that out of their own pocket.

I never said anything about missing dumps. Though, it's a pretty dick move to hold back the new+leaked game dumps for a week unless you're a "Pro" (paid) member.

Where tf do you think the shops and the people that upload the dumps to rom sites get their dumps from? Everything released by brews/-youcantnuke is stuff they’ve gotten from shops, ie MD, and that they’ve been called out for doing it.
MissingDumps doesnt even accept donations other than the missing titles/dlc now so that paranoia shouldn't even exist now. They still continue to release dumps for the shops without eshop gift cards being donated daily. The reason why the shops exist in the first place is because of MissingDumps. The shops were made by others to get people to donate (eshop gift cards/missing titles dlc ONLY in the beginning) what they could to allow the team to start preserving the dumps.
They arent "exploiting" google drives. They are PAYING for google drive storage out of their own pocket. Free unlimited drives died A LONG ASS time ago man. They cant exploit something like that without it having major issues now a days.
The only way to "pay for a shop" is to pay for an original title or DLC and donate a dump...and then everyone benefits from the title being available early, or available at all. so many Switch titles are possibly lost forever due to previous groups and the Scene not putting any real effort or incentive in.
Crazy how all of the Scene releases show up after the NSP is already available on the web, for days or weeks. not just on shops but even all these websites that show up in google already have a dump up before any "scene" group posts "their" eshop release.
Most of it are DLCs and at first glance I think I spotted at least 1 DLC that has been released by the scene more than a year ago (the dragon ball one).

A few of those DLCs have scene "unlockers" floating around (hacked together files to try to trigger the DLC flags in the game, which may break on future updates), but the eshop DLC files haven't been dumped. It's the difference between warez piracy and preservation.

Matter of fact I haven't seen one single release made public by the "missing dumps", and all switch dumps are released by scene groups:
Looks like Canon Dancer Osman was available through a couple of the shops back in February. And the scene release groups just posted it yesterday...? Quicker to just wait for the public shops and sites to have the files than waiting half a year for a scene "release". And check out the Killer_Frequency_READNFO from your screenshot today. The real scene groups that dump cartridges with proof instead of just posting releases downloaded off tinfoil shops are taking a "summer break"...

Aren't the majority of DLCs contained in the game update and when you buy them you only get the 'go ahead' from the eshop to unlock the content that is already in the update?
I know that there are a few exceptions to this but afaik most games have the DLC integrated in your normal game update.
No one is paying for shop access. No money goes to the missingdumps group that provides the games to the shops. No money goes to the shops either.

Shops like the one that just closed their doors to new users are not sustainable. Theres mass amounts of abuse, resellers, and people that just want the free games NOW and demand that games get released as soon as they are leaked. The amount of storage and bandwidth needed to sustain a public shop like that with 200K and rising users is not possible. All of the shops pay out of pocket for the storage and servers. Those shops also have been around for a VERY long while and there was so many chances for people to just setup the shop on their console.
It is sad that you missed the cutoff, but the cutoff had to be done. No shops that exist currently are "pay walled" since they do not accept money. They only want missing titles/dlc from a specific list. They used to accept eshop gift cards to fund dumping games, but they no longer do so because of how many people donated them in all currencies in a short time. Games aren't releasing fast enough to eat of all of those gift card donations. Since they ONLY use those cards to dump games and nothing else, the backlog/line is over a year long.
Also, you can setup your own shop, but I would refrain from going public with it due to the 16TB requirement to host the entire library. Just go on tinfoils site and go to the help page and look at the custom index page.
When I said pay, I meant like the donation thing for eshop thing to become pro for day one access to games. By the way can anyone really be sure no money goes to shops, think about this, even though I can’t say any shops ever did this for sure, you could basically go online yourself download the game from some rom site and just add it to your shop. I don’t think this 100% of the time because usually donations are eshop codes from what I read.
