Continuing my research, how do these "pirates" get the files for nintendo switch games?

In my search for knowledge about piracy and the dastardly fellows who partake in it, I came across an issue. How do these pirates attain nintendo switch games? i can't seem to understand. may anyone who is well versed in this topic provide some knowledge? much appreciated.

I should mod my switch hahaha

There's not much to mod if you have the first gen hardware. A 3D printed part and a paperclip can get the exploit going for ya

Oooo that sounds easy! I’ve done my PSP, Vita, and 3DS so I shouldn’t have much issue. I do indeed have a first Gen switch.

I found it easier than my vita, but harder than my 3ds

Beautiful. At least I don’t have to flash a battery’s firmware like I did with my friends’ PSP-2000s hahahaha

I spent nine hours on my 3DS, then the next day a new method of modding came out that took under an hour. Shoulda waited a day!

If you don’t have a 3D printer, you can buy the jig for like $5 online. Then it’s just a matter of sliding the jig into the joycon port and rebooting… bam hacked switch.
