Hacking Question Scene Release News/.NFO's

[hollowtip]

What is the best website to find out about Scene releases for Switch titles?

And just for clarification: I'M NOT ASKING ABOUT WHERE TO DOWNLOAD PIRATED RELEASES. I'm just looking for a news site that logs the scene releases and their .nfo's.

 

[silvershadow]

I can answer half of that. I googled for what you asked and found nswdb . It lists all releases but I don't think it has nfo.

just search of "nsdb.com"

Since everyone can now dump their own games there is no need for "release groups" and news about it all, but what the others posted above works...

http://wololo.net also post stuff sometimes.

We can dump PARTS of a cart but not the whole thing, so scene releases and groups are still relavent.

No, you can dump entire games using: https://github.com/MCMrARM/switch-game-card-dumper/

You then need to re encrypt them for backup loaders etc.

For Eshop games CDN although risky is possible, so there is no shortage of ways to get games.

That’s the tool I was referring to. It only dumps parts of a cart. Parts that can be used in emulators but it’s not a full XCI image cart dump.

I personally use predb with BigBlueBox as the release group string to get up to second updates
.nfo's aren't hard to find from there on. Hope that helps

That's how it is so far, but keep your fingers crossed for a solution soon!

We need Release Groups for Kiosk Titles, Dev Titles and eShop Titles(for now)

PreDB I guess? Not for news though, just lists what's been ripped as it happens.

On topic, google rom news nsw. Should be about the first hit. Has most nfos available, but not all.

This actually yeilded a great result, thank you for the hint. Curious though, for anyone including OP, what is your interest in the nfo file?

NP! Always handy to check out nfo's

There are some dumps not made by a scene though, like this one:

NSWDB was the best available, but it misses some releases.

 

[subcon959]

Until there are proper scene rules for naming nsw releases it's gonna be a big mess.

The releases' names are pretty straightforward:

0223 - ACA_NEOGEO_Aero_Fighters_2_NSW-VENOM
0224 - Hollow_Knight_NSW-VENOM
0225 - Sonic_Mania_NSW-VENOM
0226 - Resident_Evil_Revelations_2_NSW-VENOM
0227 - Naruto_Shippuden_Ultimate_Ninja_Storm_Trilogy_NSW-VENOM
0228 - Splatoon_2_Octo_Expansion_DLC_EUR_NSW-VENOM

(Numbering is mine, based on predate; should be accurate.)

Remove that shit before people are asking where to find them
