Create my own private eshop
Create my own private eshop
Hi, I have access to a paid shop but have 2 Nintendos. This shop decided after a while that the "licenses" changed from being able to use on 2 devices to just 1.
Now it's hard to keep mine and my SO's Nintendos games on the same version...
I was wondering if I could host them on my pc somehow and create an eshops connection just like a normal shop. Then I could download the games from the paid shop, somehow pull them from the switch to the server and there it is. The other switch just has to connect and update.
Is something like this possible? (sorry if the text is all over the place, it's late and I ran out of ADHD meds 🙃. Hope you were still able to decipher what I meant)

This will make your own shop. I use this exclusively for loading things to my switch.I have never tried making my own backups from shop installed games but I imagine there are tutorials for it.
Yep that's the one I keep finding on my searches. I was just wondering if there was a better way and I also need to read about backing up the games as I've never done it before.
You can dump the games on your switch by using DBI: https://rentry.org/DumpingTitles
Then you can host the dumped nsps as a Tinfoil shop using OwnFoil.
I was able to sync game updates between my hacked switch and none hacked switch

Do you mean the built in update thing? If so, I've had it happen in the past that when I try to play games together and there's a version mismatch it'll ask me to update but also update the OFW and in the process fuck up my CFW if they aren't on the same version.
Also, I'm not entirely sure every game supports it.
If you play with others, I would take care to keep HOS and AMS up to date to prevent annoyances like this.
Also, on emummc you don't know when a game gets an update due to no Nintendo servers. To check for updates on emummc, you can connect to WiFi (make sure dnsmitm is setup), then open DBI, and run the update checker tool. It will list any available newer versions for games/apps you have installed on your system.
