**Use XCIs for gamecards, NSPs for anything else. You need encryption keys which you can [dump with our guide](https://github.com/yuzu-emu/yuzu/wiki/Dumping-Decryption-Keys-from-a-Switch-Console)**

### Short Descriptions of Yuzu-supported Formats
|
||||
- XCI: Represents a dump of a game cartridge. Contains icons, metadata, and a switch game. Sometimes contains updates to the game as well. *Used For:* Dumps of Gamecards you own
|
||||
- NSP: Contains all of the files and data needed to display icons, a title and a game.
|
||||
*Used For*: Dumps of SD and NAND games
|
||||
- NCA: A raw format that can contain a multitude of things (most similar to a ZIP file on your computer)
|
||||
*Used For*: System Archives
|
||||
- Deconstructed Rom Directory: An NCA that has been expanded into its component parts.
|
||||
*Used For*: Developers and Power Users with more advanced applications
|
||||
- NSO/NRO Homebrew: Cool and neat applications made unofficially by members of the community
