That’s a lot of steps upfront to avoid any hint of piracy, but you’re almost certainly breaking the license agreement by dumping the cartridge, so what’s the point in trying to avoid piracy.
Just because you bought a cartridge with a binary and a license to execute that binary on a switch doesn’t mean you have the legal right to back it up and play it on your PC.
- SifJar 6y agoProbably more to do with morality than lethality. Pretty subjective, but there are definitely plenty of people who are morally opposed to piracy but have no problem with illegal backups/rips/dumps of stuff they have legally purchased.

Do you in fact! As long as it is your cartridge and you backed it up yourself, you can legally emulate it. (You cannot use someone else's dump, nor can you share yours.)
- gambiting 6y agoDepends where you live,but in a lot of places the ability to make backups of your own digital media is enshrined in law. And in EU "license agreements" are usually worth as much as toilet paper, especially if they are implied rather than explicit (like, saying "by using this software you agree to this agreement" is essentially worthless, you can agree to literally anything and it won't hold up in court)
