what? it does in "browse installed applications" even without mtp I use it all the time to explore what files can be changed. hell it even lets you compress mods into romfs.bin for better performance

Is there an easier way to extract games (NSPs in particular)?

Nop, you use the MTP connection of DBI, then you "see" the installed games or the RomFS of titles as folders, then you copy that folders to any disk on your PC, no SD involved, just a copy of files.
I constantly use it for install and for backup and never give me an error but for some people could be unstable, some others change their cable or port and get fixed.

Answers are literally #4 and #5, you f... dum dum
That you cannot set up emulator properly is issue with you, not with lack of tools. Now it's much easier to set up yuzu than couple of years ago.

Using the emulators is still a bit messy though. I've had a rare few games Yuzu seems to just not be able to handle and for some reason sometimes if I try to install an update it just says "update not installed" (not exactly a very useful error message there!) with an update that works fine in my real Switch and in Ryujinx -- which means I can't extract the updated files in it (thus making it useless if I actually mod something in a file that was changed by the update or if I need something added from the update.) No problem on the games that actually keep stuff in separated files, but sadly this is just not always the case. It's also messy because you have to "install to NAND" with updates but if I'm just using it to extract I don't necessarily keep the game, so eventually I'm going to have to start either resetting the NAND or finding some way to clear orphaned updates. (I generally prefer to use my real Switch and mostly just run the emulators to test mods.)
Surprisingly I think Ryujinx seems to be incapable of extracting the actual updated files entirely unless I'm missing something (when I extract after adding an update it still gives me the original base files without the modifications the update applies.) In my experience it seems to be a lot more stable and reliable than Yuzu, so if I'm missing something there I'd appreciate a tip on whatever it may be. (And yes, I have confirmed the update is properly added and "installed." It will be listed in the game's info and starting the game shows the correct version on games that bother to display one.)
NxFileViewer is still the easiest and most compatible way for extracting without updates though. At least when I don't need an update it really makes the process painless.
