Have a great day.
This card has two drawbacks as far as I can see. Firstly, there’s no loader to swap between games.
Secondly, it only supports its own format when you back up your own games. The games you download from the net aren’t compatible but it’s assumed the pirates would ‘repack’ their past releases to be compatible.
Here’s a question, would the Switch be oblivious to how the game is stored and download any updates? Do pirated games come complete with the latest available updates?
Unless the drive physically scratched the DVD, it’s not corrupted. However, I’ve had a few discs that I’ve stored carefully for decades that just stopped working for no reason. The discs looked flawless with no signs of damage and they refused to work.
What region is the DVD and is your drive set to the same region?
Alternatively, download this DLL file and place it the same directory as your VLC installation. It will then be able to bypass simple region checks but not all.
The problem is, several publishers don’t want to pay Nintendo for the larger storage cartridges. Many Switch games only have part of the game physically and you have to download the rest.
Diabolo III made a point of saying the whole game was on the cart for example.
