Upvoting for visibility, but other than fitgirl, dodi, et. al. for bigger switch titles I don't where people are getting their multi-gig roms from
usenet nzb site
Do the repacks come with the .xci or .nsp separately or in a directory where I can extract it and copy it to another one?
I already have Yuzu configured on my machine (which is Linux) and I'm pretty sure that Wine could not run an emulator as smoothly as the emulator itself does natively on Linux.
If you only need the rom then downloading an entire repack is unnecessary. That said they would have the rom files you need.
Shit you're right, I forgot that with torrent that's possible! thank you!
I've never seen a distribution where the rom was integrated into the emu such that there was no .xci or .nsp file. Fitgirl always repacks their releases into multiple .bin files that need to be extracted first, then you get an .xci or .nsp alongside the emu. Dodi does that rarely, most of the time the torrent is just a folder with the emu and the .xci or .nsp alongside the emu. Most other releases I've seen were the same with no repacking, just a folder with the emu and the .xci/.nsp.
I get mine either from nsw2u or from the jits store via tinfoil.
Thanks, I'll check those out.
