## No-Piracy

* So here goes the way to get Games without Piracy!
|
I found a very good guide that can be found [here](https://wiki.no-intro.org/index.php?title=Nintendo_Switch_Dumping_Guide)
|
||||||
* if Something is titled with an ```NP``` it means its NoPiracy!
|
Sorry, I just don't have a Homebrewed Switch to try it atm.
|
||||||
|
When you have the XCI, just do the same as in the Gif Above

If it says that it is already installed, your ROM likely already has that DLC/Update preinstalled, don't worry, if it breaks the game, just follow the steps in the next section.

|
- MacOS: How about waiting until yuzu comes out on MacOS.......
|
||||||
|
- Linux: Open your file manager of choice, make sure that Show Hidden Files is ENABLED, and head to the following directory, "/home/YourUsername/.local/share/yuzu" and open the logs directory.
