    There is no way to access the dump without circumventing the switch itself’s encryption, as you need to do it on a modified switch and as far as I know the exemptions provided for DMCA are for scenarios where it’s effectively impossible or extremely difficult to use the software in a non infringing way, (other exemptions are generally quite specific) which could be argued for out of circulation consoles and games, but would not stand for an in production generally available console and it’s games.

    I’ve never heard of exemptions for format shifting exemption for circumventing copy protection. I’ve heard it argued in the case of things like ripping a CD that has no copy protection in place though.

      You aren’t “circumventing the switches encryption” whatever that means. You’re putting it in debug mode. Not to mention it being illegal to softmod your own hardware is insane.

      And the same format shifting exemption applies to blueray which does have DRM.
