XCI files will show up like this for now on with the XCI installer.


The program is still a WIP, but it is still a great welcome addition to the scene. Well, that has all changes, we are now able to install XCI files directly to the home screen of the Switch! This was many people gripes with XCi files which the NSP had one advantage over. Before we were only able to start an XCI file within the SX program, unlike NSP files which get installed on the home menu of the Switch. An XCI file is supposed to be as close as possible to a gamecard dump and the NSP file is an installable eshop file. Today comes to another interesting release by a new Homebrew Switch group called 2168-0002! I don’t have any idea what the numbers stand for but I guess we will find out sooner or later.Ĭurrently, there are two backup formats that can be played on the Switch, XCI, and NSP files. The Nintendo Switch Homebrew scene has been heating up lately with exciting releases every other week.
