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++.
The first day I used any of those shops, my console got instantly banned. And I had been SOOO careful up to that point.
Never again.
Never again.
Yeah, Tinfoil do install itself as a NSP after all.
They don't? You donate to missingdumps.
thanks

They've got a list of things that literally nobody else in the world has been able to acquire because they're unavailable.
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.
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.
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?

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 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.
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:
Makes me wonder where those donations go..
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.
Is this the list of missing games y'all are talking about https://rentry.org/MissedContent ?
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.
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.
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.

I'd like to find a power strip and HDMI selector built in 1 unit, so I can select which game system I want, and will switch to that hdmi, and power on that plug/power supply only, so don't have all game systems powered all the time, but can't find anything like. May just have to make something myself.
