Been messing with ROM collecting and emulation for some time, and I've always used resources such as Redump or No-Intro to verify any ROM's I have are 1:1 dump swith no modifications. This has saved me a ton of headache over the years, as most of the problems people have with emulation are because they are using modified/incomplete dumps. I've recently dipped my toes in the water with Switch emulation, and have immediately hit some issues related to a bad/incomplete dump (emulator crash in TLoZ: EoW).

I can't seem to find any sources of hashes/checksums databases for Switch dumps from my usual sources. Since the scene is probably still changing rapidly, I just figured I would post here to ask about what is the best way to validate/verify Switch dumps?

I know some of these more recent consoles have checksums and such built into the games s.t. an external database may not even be necessary. If so, is there a tool I can use to check these?

One of the best PC utilities is a N!nt3ndo Sw!tch File Wizard by emargee:
Okay finally looping back around to this and messing with this to try and get the CLI working.

I'm having a lot of issues figuring out where I'm supposed to get the common.cert and titledb.db files. Bunch of Google searches are turning nothing up. Can you give me any insight on how to get those things?
