What is a .NSP file?
An NSP file is a type of game package specifically used by the Nintendo Switch gaming console and by software that can mimic, or emulate, a Nintendo Switch, such as Yuzu and Ryujinx. This file format is designed to hold various components of a game in one package. These components can include the main game data (often referred to as the ROM), an image of the game's icon in JPG format, any updates that the game has received, and metadata which provides additional information about the game.
NSP files are commonly used to store copies of Nintendo Switch games. These copies are often used as backups, allowing users to preserve their games digitally. The NSP format is similar to another file format used by the Nintendo Switch called XCI, but they are used in slightly different ways.
To open an NSP file, you can use the following programs: - Yuzu: This is an emulator that allows you to play Nintendo Switch games on your computer. - Ryujinx: This is another emulator that enables you to run Nintendo Switch games on a PC.
Both of these programs can be downloaded and installed on a computer to open and play NSP files.
