Back on the 3DS and Wii U we could install signed cia/pkg files. What's the limiting factor at work now that stops us from being able to do this?
Thanks for replying, but how is emunand going to help me with space?
BBB released Yooka Laylee eShop dump.
This is useless for now. It looks like digital titles instalation will be much harder than just emulating cartridge.
It's bad, there are many good games released as digital-only...

This is true although a lot of people have already bought SD cards at least as big as 128 GB to prepare for the inevitable piracy. If only the Switch could support external hard drives...Just to add on what others are saying, if you wanted to install a 20gb game, you would either have to do it wirelessly, or get an sd card bigger then 40gb as you need room for the original game+installed game which basically double the size reqs of anything you want to install.
Its kinda interesting. Nintendo could probably cut piracy in half by just making every game 100gb lolThis is true although a lot of people have already bought SD cards at least as big as 128 GB to prepare for the inevitable piracy. If only the Switch could support external hard drives...

Anti-piracy: Filling every cartridge game with several GB's of Fs.Its kinda interesting. Nintendo could probably cut piracy in half by just making every game 100gb lol
They kinda already do that, hence the XCI trimmer app.Anti-piracy: Filling every cartridge game with several GB's of Fs.
But its not that many GBs is it? I haven't compared the size of trimmed vs untrimmed dumps yet (mostly because I just haven't gotten around to downloading said dumps yet)They kinda already do that, hence the XCI trimmer app.

Interesting. What about third-party games? I've heard those are around 20 GB in size. Anybody tried untrimming those?depends on the game/original cart size.
ex.
Splatoon 2, with garbage data -> 3625MB (approx)
Splatoon 2 sans-garbo-input -> 2597MB (approx)
I can't get the XCI trimming tool to work that someone posted here though, that was just quick approximations.Interesting. What about third-party games? I've heard those are around 20 GB in size. Anybody tried untrimming those?
