	~~The general process is:~~		Dump the game files directly to your SD card using nxdumptool. Update data can only be processed if the base game is available, because they share the same filesystem.
	# Dump the base ~~version NCA of~~ the ~~game~~.
	~~# Dump~~ the ~~update NCA~~.		'''Warning''': Running homebrew on the Switch can get you banned from Nintendo online services if you aren't careful. If you do not want to leave any traces, turn on airplane mode, back up your NAND '''before running any homebrew''' and do not ever go online before you have restored the backup.

	~~'''In~~ the ~~instructions below, every time you are dumping a NSP, turn~~ on ~~the "Remove~~ console ~~specific data" and "Generate ticket-less~~ dump~~" options. This is not a best practice but should make extraction easier~~.~~'''~~

	=== Dumping ~~the base NCA~~ ===		=== Dumping game files ===
	~~Because of how updates work on~~ Switch, the ~~base NCA must be dumped even if~~ you're only ~~interested in a specific~~ game update.		* On your Switch, open nxdumptool. Afterwards:
			*# '''If you have the gamecard''': Select <code>Dump gamecard content</code>.
			*# '''If you have the eShop version''': Select <code>Dump SD card / eMMC content</code>, then select the game.
			* Select <code>RomFS options</code>.
			* Highlight the <code>Use update/DLC</code> option and use the left/right buttons to cycle through the available updates for the game.
			*# '''If you have no available updates''', this option won't appear. You'll only be able to dump the files from the non-updated base game (which is the same to just leaving this option set to <code>No</code>).
			*# Updates are tagged as <code>(UPD)</code>, and they use <code>01006BB00C6F0800</code> as their ID.
			* Select <code>RomFS section data dump</code> and wait for the process to finish. This will dump the internal filesystem from the selected update to the inserted SD card.

	* On your Switch, ~~open nxdumptool.~~		Just like it was previously mentioned, updates share their filesystem data with the base game, so dumping the RomFS from an update is equivalent to dumping the whole filesystem from the updated game data. In other words, it isn't necessary to dump the base game filesystem separately if you choose an update.
	* '''If you have the game ~~card''': Select "Dump gamecard content".~~
	* '''If you have the ~~eShop version''': Select "Dump SD card / eMMC content". Select~~ the game.
	* Select "NSP dump". If asked to, ~~select "Dump base application NSP".~~
	* Copy the NSP to a computer, then extract it ~~by running the command <code>hactool -~~t ~~pfs0 [path~~ to the ~~NSP] --outdir [folder where to place the NCAs]</code> {{CLI help}}. The main NCA will be found in the folder~~ you~~'ve told hactool to extract the files to~~.

	~~=== Dumping the update ===~~		When you're done, you'll be able to find the output dumps in <code>sdmc:/switch/nxdumptool/RomFS</code>.
	* On your Switch, open nxdumptool again.
	* '''If you have a game card that does not include the latest update''':
	** Select "Dump SD card / eMMC content".
	** Press Y to "dump installed content with missing base application".
	** Select 01006BB00C6F0800 (this is the update title).
	** Select "Start NSP dump process".
	* '''If you ~~have a game card that includes the latest update~~'~~'':~~
	** Select "Dump gamecard content".
	** Select "NSP dump", ~~then select "Dump installed update NSP".~~
	* '''If you ~~have the eShop version~~'~~'':~~
	** Select "Dump SD card / eMMC content". Select the game.
	** Select "NSP dump", then select "Dump installed update NSP".
	* Copy the NSP to ~~a computer, then extract it by running~~ the ~~command~~ <code>~~hactool -t pfs0 [path to the NSP] --outdir [folder where to place the NCAs]~~</code> ~~{{CLI help}}. You now have the update NCA (see [[Versions]] for NCA hashes)~~.

	=== ~~Extracting the romfs~~ ===		=== Dumping binaries (executable files) ===
	~~Now that you have the~~ base ~~NCA~~ and the update ~~NCA, you can extract the romfs (which contains all [[content]] files) by running the command {{CLI help}}:~~		Binaries in Switch titles are stored in a different section known as ExeFS, which is only available in base games and updates. Unlike RomFS data, ExeFS data isn't shared between the update and its base game.

	~~hactool -x -t nca path/to/update~~.~~nca --basenca path/to/base.nca --romfsdir where/to/extract/the/romfs~~		These files can also be dumped using nxdumptool.

	~~To extract~~ the ~~exefs~~ (which ~~contains~~ the ~~[[executable]]~~ and ~~SDK libraries):~~		* On your Switch, open nxdumptool. Afterwards:
			*# '''If you have the gamecard''': Select <code>Dump gamecard content</code>.
			*# '''If you have the eShop version''': Select <code>Dump SD card / eMMC content</code>, then select the game.
			* Select <code>ExeFS options</code>.
			* Highlight the <code>Use update</code> option and use the left/right buttons to cycle through the available updates for the game.
			*# '''If you have no available updates''', this option won't appear. You'll only be able to dump the binaries from the non-updated base game (which is the same to just leaving this option set to <code>No</code>).
			*# Updates use <code>01006BB00C6F0800</code> as their ID.
			* Select <code>ExeFS section data dump</code> and wait for the process to finish. This will dump the binaries from the selected update to the inserted SD card.

	~~hactool -x -t nca path~~/to/~~update.nca --basenca path~~/to/~~base~~.~~nca --exefsdir where/to/extract/the/exefs~~		When you're done, you'll be able to find the output dump in <code>sdmc:/switch/nxdumptool/ExeFS</code>.
