I hope that works! I never got into digital downloads on consoles in any big way, how companies make games from the online shop inaccessible once the console goes end of life is a damn shame! It feels like the more and more consoles move toward digital only, the less we'll have viable retro consoles in the future.

Also, I wouldn't know how to back the sd cards up in case they break. You can't exactly do an image and duplicate them. It doesn't work so well with SD cards.

Uh, you very much can take an image of an SD card, the same as with any other block device.

You can have errors when you write it back into another SD card and end up with a corrupt card. That was from experience a long time ago.

Maybe the tools are better adapted now?

That’s going to be a function of your SD card reader and the quality of the card itself. If you’re really concerned, copy it to your HDD, then read again and verify. And then when writing, do a verify step as well.

If this were universally true then SD cards would be completely useless, as regular writes would fail in the same manner. Bad card, bad slot, or bad tools.

Sure just use Yuzu
