NX Archive Browser is a homebrew application for the Nintendo Switch that allows users to browse and download archives from archive.org.

Install

1. Copy nx-archive-browser.nro to /switch. The app will appear on the Homebrew Menu.
2. Configure your archive collections and root download folder in config/nx-archive-browser/config.json. The keys represent collection folders inside your download folder. The values are archive.org identifier of collections.

Example:

{
  "folder": "roms",
  "collections": {
    "N64": "SomeCollectionByGhostw***",
    "SNES": "SomeOtherCollectionByGhostw***"
  }
}

The archives will be downloaded to sdmc:/roms/N64 and sdmc:/roms/SNES.

Read the legal terms of archive.org. I would encourage you to only download licence free archives, archives you developed on your own or in some cases own a copy of the original product (depends where you are located).
