What this catalog lists

This page states what this catalog lists and what it refuses to list. It is not a ranked set of ROM sites, and it is not the home-page archive pitch. It is a scope note for romsnsm.org before you Open the catalog. Read it when a missing row looks like an error, or when you need to know which facts a title card is allowed to print.

The catalog is Nintendo Switch only. A row is metadata about a title: official name, genre when stored, format tokens when stored, and a listed size when stored. Optional facts — publisher, developer, title id, release date, region, languages, firmware, game version — appear only when they are stored. A first-party file is a separate fact. Get the ROM appears only when that file is stored on this host.

Absence from the catalog is normal. This host does not claim every Switch title has a row. Ask for a title if you want a name considered. No date is promised. If a published row looks wrong, use Flag a listing. How to read a title listing explains the card so empty fields do not look like a broken page.

Inclusion and exclusion

Read both lists before you treat a missing row as an error. Included items are what a published card may show. Excluded items are what this host will not invent, will not rank, and will not sell. Format tokens are facts, not products. The NSP filter and the XCI filter only shorten rows that already carry those facts.

A published row can be metadata only. Official name and a format token can exist without Get the ROM. That is still a listing. Inclusion means the title has a stored row, not that a first-party file is waiting. Exclusion of other consoles means you will not find a multi-system dump bench here. Exclusion of a ranked list means this page will not grade other hosts. Exclusion of invented hashes means a missing scan is omitted, not faked.

Compressed format letters you may see elsewhere are outside this row set. This catalog lists NSP and XCI when those facts exist. It does not list NSZ or XCZ as catalog formats. File hashes and scan badges are not stored for this catalog; this page does not invent them so a scope note looks complete.

How to use the lists

After the scope is clear, read a title listing so a card does not look like a store. Compare the two stored formats on NSP vs XCI if that is why you arrived. Download help is only for Get the ROM when the button is present.

This host does not publish a best-sites list and does not borrow another site's archive slogan. Genre hubs list Switch titles in that subject. Horror stays noindex and is not promoted from this page. The A-Z catalog remains the browse. This leaf remains a scope note.

Use the included list as a check on a live card: official name present, format tokens only when stored, size_label only when stored, optional facts only when stored, Get the ROM only when a file is stored. Use the excluded list as a check on what you should not expect: other consoles, a shop, a ranked list of hosts, invented hashes, or a promise that a file will run. If those expectations are clear, the catalog and the title card are enough.
