Hacking xci vs nsp

[Zap2000]

Whats most ppl using

 

[nachuz]

I use both
You can load XCI from a HDD, which normally have more storage, meaning that you can save more games, but NSP are faster, doesn't requires SX, and you don't have to open a menu, but use storage from the SD card
Depends on what you rather and if you use/like SX or not

Nsp
It's free to use, and some games load faster then xci.

 

[Hugopugo]

Nsp all the way... i actually convert my xci to nsp even tho i use sxos

NSPs are way more used. Even if you are installing XCIs you are using NSPs (because it converts them to NSPs as you install them).

 

[LordRahl72]

I use both as well

I wonder with the change that 6.2 implemented if an end of NSP may soon be realized.

Luckily, that's not how it works. As long as we get full access, we can do whatever we want. So as long as we can launch CFWs, we will be able to install NSPs.

Nsp cause you dont have to pay for a non community cfw to use it, and cause its more elgant on the home menu to have all my games there.

XCI if available, or NSP absolutely only if that particular game has no XCI version.

Why install a game when you can just run it? And easier to get rid of if you need to free up space, just delete from the sd card.

Because why pay. And why go to a menu to always load games which I want to play when I can just click on them and play immediately. Also, they take way less space.
If you need free space, just start - data - delete. If you install updates to XCIs, you have to do that anyway, so more steps for you.

Because why pay? Pay for others functions like load xci from HD (I pay only for this) and a proper emunand.

Pd. Sorry my bad english

Xci all the way. I convert all nsp to xci as I don't see the point in taking the time to move a game to the switch and then have to install it which takes more time. NSP's also take up twice the space as xci because you have to install them which uses up space and after installing, you have to delete the nsp file to free up the space. That's just ridiculous.

I don't need storage when I am not able to use up even my 128GB sd (because I install games which I play at the time, not all at once and maybe play them). And their "EmuNAND" is still not a proper EmuNAND.

 

[oblid]

And their "EmuNAND" is still not a proper EmuNAND.

Why not?

 

[Kubas_inko]

Why not?

Because it is an image, not a partition.

 

[oblid]

And that is bad because...?

Sorry my ignorance

I am not saying that it's bad. Just that it is not a proper EmuNAND (because everyone imagines the one from 3DS scene).
And it can apparently easily corrupt your SD, because those are just files which it read and writes to, instead of making partition which does not touch the rest of the SD.

Thanks for the reply about emunand.
But over SD corruptions:

I'm not sure if it would have any meaningful impact. Sadly, even official code is prone to SD card corruption.

I believe that man! Even official code is prone to SD card corruption

Again. Thanks for the replys (and sorry my english)

Nsp if you want to get banned.
Xci is the best solution. You should never install pirated shit on your console
