An nsp file, on this catalog, is the package fact printed on a Switch listing. The letters name an eShop-style package stored as a file fact for that title. They do not name a store SKU, a genre, or a download product. This page is a glossary for that NSP line: what the row is saying, which fields sit next to it, and what the line is not.
This URL is not the NSP filter. That hub is a filtered list of rows that already carry NSP. This page does not list games. People also arrive with switch nsp in mind. That phrase is a way of asking for package rows on a Switch catalog. The walk from the A-Z list to those rows lives on How to find Switch NSP listings.
Home already owns download intent. The A-Z catalog already owns the browse. A title card at /switch-rom/{slug} owns the official name, the facts list, and Get the ROM when a first-party file is stored. This glossary stays with NSP so nsp file has a useful answer that does not clone those pages.
How this catalog writes the NSP line
When a listing shows NSP, the stored formats value includes nsp. The catalog is signing a fact: this title has a package file in the stored metadata. The token is plain text on the listing, not a pill and not a product name. You will see it on the facts list and again on a file row next to the official name.
The listed size next to that fact is size_label for the row. It is not a pair of formats added together, and it is not a promise that a first-party file is waiting. If size_label is empty, the size line is omitted. The catalog does not write a placeholder so the glossary looks full.
Other fields on the same card are independent. Genre, publisher, developer, title id, release date, region, languages, firmware, and game version appear only when they are stored. An NSP token does not invent those lines. An empty title id stays off the list. An empty game version stays off the list. Read what is present; do not expect empty fields to be filled.
Get the ROM appears on the title card only when a first-party file is stored on this host. Until then the NSP token can still be true as metadata. The button is not a caption on the token. The download help leaf explains that control. This page only defines the package fact so you do not treat the letters as a store SKU.
Read the definition list below as the signature of the line. Then open a title if you need the card, Browse ROMs if you are still scanning, or Ask for a title if the row you want is missing. If a published package row looks wrong, use Flag a listing.
- Row label
- NSP. Plain text on the listing, not a pill and not a product name.
- What this catalog means
- An eShop-style package stored as a file fact on that title.
- Stored formats value
- nsp, or nsp xci when a cartridge-dump fact is stored on the same row.
- Listed size
- The size_label for the row. Not a summed size of two formats.
- Where you see it
- On the facts definition list and on a file row next to the official name.
- Related search
- People also say switch nsp when they want rows that carry NSP. That walk is a separate page, not a second hub.
- Not this URL
- The filtered list at /switch-roms/nsp/ is a scan of rows. This leaf only defines the NSP line.
- First-party control
- Get the ROM appears on the title card only when a first-party file is stored on this host.
What the definition list is for
A glossary page stays with NSP. It does not compare two formats — that is NSP vs XCI — and it does not retell a cartridge dump. Empty publisher, firmware, or hash fields stay off the listing. This catalog does not invent them so the definition list looks full. File hashes are not stored for this catalog; this page does not invent a hash line.
If you came here looking for a grid of package titles, turn to the NSP filter. If you came here to walk from the A-Z list to a package card, use the Switch NSP path. If you need to know when a file control appears, stay with how to read a title listing and Get the ROM.
This glossary will not become a second NSP shelf. The catalog product is the listing, not a format SKU. After you can read the NSP line, open a card and treat NSP the same way you treat genre: a stored fact, printed when it exists, omitted when it does not.
Not an NSP storefront
This glossary does not sell a package and does not replace the catalog filter. Open a title card to read a listing.
Limits
This glossary does not sell a package, verify a hash, or promise a first-party file. Empty facts stay off the listing. romsnsm.org is not an official Nintendo site, not a store, and not legal advice.
