ROM Hack Question switch save dump

[Studiousdewsh]

I've looked for hours and I cannot for the life of me find a way to rip my switch saves off of the SD card without completely hacking the my switch itself. Dumping and backing up save files shouldn't require a hacked switch right?

You need CFW.

You need CFW.

I can literally SEE the save file on my SD card. there's ZERO way to rip that without modding the switch?

It is encrypted , you need CFW if you are looking to edit the save.

Yep, it's encrypted with YOUR Switch, and its needed to be decrypted by YOUR Switch in order to be recognized by your PC

You have to get unpatched Switch to move saves from NAND to SD card.

If your not running CFW, then you always have the cloud to save your saves, but you can't physically access them.
