Actually these (decrypted) ROM dumps are perfect for testing and developing a Switch emulator. So atleast that is a possible positive effect for this release.
Hate to be that guy, but why would these be perfect?
I decent emulator should be able to take raw dumps and play them. These have been decrypted and then had some of their uniqueness stripped from them, not allowing an emulator to handle the uniqueness.

It is a great starting point, but it isn't the perfect opportunity.

Decrypted dumps are only better than raw dumps for one thing: Piracy. They're not good for preservation and less useful than raw dumps for emulation research. Having them decrypted only helps piracy.

"Put a magnet here and it'll work", Nintendo 1889-2017, never understood how to make security software
This is what happens when you think that the 3DS is "vulnerable" to magnets and the magnet magically hacks the system.

(Spoiler: It isn't. The sleep sensor was used to reduce the chances of the end user accidentally tripping it.)

I knew this was around the corner. Time to start archiving those roms. I can hear the noobs now... saying "Whats the point. they cant be played yet." seriously these noobs need to GTFO, Once the switch is hacked ill have the dumps to test. those noobs will be rushing trying to get the dumps once they can be used. They never think ahead..... but its why we call them noobs.

Archiving.. some of these dumps are small

Or they can just wait until it hacked and see which rom will work instead of wasting time for bunch of useless file that may or may not work.

seriously, this is spoken like a true noob.

The truth is, the dumps will still be available by the time the Switch is hacked, the will be a reliable way to dump ROMs before it is possible to play them on console. Therefore, your entire post is invalid, and if you think the dumps won't be available in order to test anymore by the time the Switch comes out, then you cannot be more wrong.

Besides, if they are noobs they won't want to test ROMs anyways. They'll just want to play them

Why bother? Not as if 1. These are properly dumped or 2. These are usable at all...
i'm not after them for piracy purposes so 'usable' in that sense is wrong
they are on "that dark site".
i haven't been on here to know what 'that dark site' is so excuse me for thinking it's extremely vague, i know what the policies here are, but i'm not experienced.
Its also not useful at all to anyone outside of the inner switch circle...
afaik all you can do now with these dumps is view their files. Which, funnily enough, is one of my goals in this thing.

I'm not a piracy noob, I just want to view at the stuff like seemingly everyone else can
if you want to help directly then do it otherwise don't bother with this stuff. I've used google enough to find nothing.

Switch hacking is getting closer and closer
i could just imagine Homebrew Channel for switch or even being able to play Nintendont!
It won't be possible to use Nintendon't on the Switch. The Switch is a completely different console with very different hardware compared to the Wii and Wii U. Your best bet would be GameCube emulation on the Switch. And no, Nintendon't is not a GC emulator.

They're not on rom sites or news sites.

Certainly doesn't mean that they aren't floating around out there. They are, you just need to know where to look.

Fair enough. If you're after it to pull assets out of it, etc. then by all means, take a swing at it if you're so inclined.
