Beginner Questions

[ArsenalFC]

Hi,

1. How do I connect my switch to the pc with a usb cable?
I installed NXMTP to homebrew, ran it and connected my switch to all USB ports on my pc but the switch never showed up in Win10.

2. How do I run Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) Nintendo Online Switch? (thats the NSP with all good old NES games) I ran it then tried to update it but it always wants me to
link my Nintendo account, which i cant so I cant start the game

3. How does the Switch actually know that there is a new update for a game while stealth mode is enabled and nintendo servers are blocked?

4. How do I install updates on XCI games?

5. How do I mount XCI games without installing them? How does updating work?

6. Do i need to install all games? That would double the space need on SD Card?

I might can answer a couple of those questions. I ran a Homebrew application called kefnir (I think) to install a “linked nnid”. That worked for me for my snes and nes. With the xci game thing you should have your xci files in the directory sxos/xci. From the album you should be able to go to games and hit A and it’ll load like a cartridge. You don’t need to install xci files but you can if you’d like. Updating them should be pretty straightforward with applications like tinfoil (which is what I use for updates) the only games you need to install are nsp files. If you have xci you should be able to just mount them from the games menu under album.
