Complete Guide: Backing Up Switch Game Updates and DLC as NSP Files
Transferring or backing up your Nintendo Switch game updates and DLC (Downloadable Content) into NSP (Nintendo Submission Package) files is a common task for users looking to preserve their digital library, use emulators, or manage storage more effectively. This guide outlines the most effective methods to "move out" these files from your console to a PC or external storage. Core Methods for Dumping Updates and DLC
To extract updates and DLC as NSP files, you typically need a modded Nintendo Switch running custom firmware (CFW) like Atmosphere. Using NXDumpTool (The Standard Way):
This homebrew application allows you to dump installed digital games, updates, and DLC directly to your SD card as NSP files. 📢 Huge Switch Update: Move ROMs from NAND
Process: Open NXDumpTool, select "Dump installed SD card / eMMC content," choose your game, and then select the specific update or DLC you wish to dump.
Benefit: It can also dump physical cartridges as XCI files, providing a complete backup solution. Using DBI (MTP Responder Mode):
DBI is often considered the fastest method. By enabling "MTP Responder" in the DBI menu and connecting your Switch to a PC via USB, the console appears as a drive.
Process: Navigate to the "Installed Games" folder on your PC. You can simply copy the update or DLC files (already in NSP format) directly from the Switch's virtual drive to your computer. Using GoldLeaf:
GoldLeaf is another popular homebrew tool that can export installed game updates to your SD card. It is frequently used for managing files and installing NSPs but is equally capable of basic extraction. Merging and Managing Files for "Extra Quality"
For the best experience—especially when using emulators like Ryujinx or Yuzu—you may want to combine your base game, updates, and DLC into a single, high-quality file.
NSC Builder: A powerful PC tool used to merge multiple NSPs (Base + Update + DLC) into a single file. This reduces clutter and simplifies file management.
SAC (Swiss Army Knife): A similar tool that allows you to open a base NSP and "attach" updates or DLC to create a consolidated package. Title ID: 0100E4A0130E2000 (example – verify on current
Compression (NSZ): If you are low on space, you can use scripts to compress NSPs into NSZ format, which uses lossless compression to save significant storage space while remaining compatible with most modern installers.

Always dump your own copies from a hacked Switch when possible.
Moving Out runs at a dynamic 1080p docked and 720p handheld, but frame drops occur in crowded levels. Using a tool like Tesla Overlay or Sys-clk, you can safely overclock your Switch:
Before diving into the technicalities of ROMs, NSP files, and DLCs, let’s revisit the game itself. Moving Out is a physics-based moving simulator where you and up to three friends play as Furniture Arrangement & Relocation Technicians (F.A.R.T.s). Your goal? Get furniture from point A to point B as quickly and (optionally) as carefully as possible.
The game is absurd, hilarious, and surprisingly challenging. It features:
However, the base game is just the starting point. The true “extra quality” experience comes with the updates and DLC.
Even with a high-quality NSP, you might encounter problems. Here’s a quick troubleshooting guide:
| Problem | Likely Cause | Solution | |---------|--------------|----------| | Game won’t launch after update | Wrong update region or bad sigpatches | Reinstall update with matching region ID. Update your CFW’s sigpatches. | | DLC levels missing | DLC not activated or wrong version | Go to Settings → Data Management → Check for corrupt DLC. Reinstall DLC NSP. | | Low FPS on Switch | Base game performance | Install v1.1.3 update. Enable handheld mode or use Sys-clk for mild overclock. | | Save data corrupted | Mixed ROM versions | Delete save via Settings → Data Management. Restart game. |
