While I definitely do own Minecraft for the Switch without a shadow of doubt, this was extracted from a copy downloaded using CDNX. You can also extract an XCI based game, it should work just fine.
Minecraft has never been installed on that console.

oh please test this method with a another game

There are a few problem I can see with this:
- Of course you gotta have donor game slots on your home (that could be created somehow)
- Savegame will not work properly
- You can't go online (or if you can you'll have a weird titleID conflict situation)
- You'll be very exposed to bans (still, due to titleID mismatch)
- Game updates will be an issue for sure

Does this also work for version 3.0.0 as well?

Yeah, it has a lot of limitations, you should wait for a release of mememenu or similar if you want proper backups.

I think this is just for a proof of concept. Not something that will be used completely. At least in this state.

It still works, and will be the primary method of game loading

 

[Phenj]

Can you use a demo as a launcher?

Yes. I did that in the video.

Yes you can. One of the people who got it to work showed himself launching Minecraft through a demo.

 

[Frexxos]

definitly not @sauying

not everyone is so "brave" and try this "complicated" method. Most people wanna do it the easy way. Plug and play.
So TX will definitly sell a lot of this dongles and software

I'm not sure about that 'cause of the limitations, but whatever.

I agree, I just wanted to put it out there so people can start thinking of solutions if we want to make this a feasible way.

You’re right... spoon feed

Still, SX OS have more advantages :

Possibility to have a dongle
Saves works
Update works
Easier to load backups
User support

Cons : It's paid

Nah I'm still curious about the dongle. It's just 40€ so no biggie.

Saves will work! In a bit someone will come out with a method for them to work. Like maybe an hour or two. @SimonMKWii get in here!
