Site Introduction

Palm Games Network (switchxiazai.com) is a resource site dedicated to Switch game ROMs, focusing on XCI, NSP, and NSZ format downloads.

It currently hosts 3,200+ titles with a clean interface, making it easy to filter by genre, language, and format.

Core Features

1. Full-Format Switch Game Library

Supports XCI, NSP, and NSZ — the three mainstream formats — compatible with both actual console installations and emulators like Yuzu and Ryujinx.

The listing page displays file type, language, category, publisher, and update time, with new releases marked by a NEW tag. Popular IPs like Zelda, Mario, Pokémon, and NieR are updated frequently.

2. Multi-Dimensional Filtering and Sorting

You can filter by 16 game genres, including action, RPG, simulation, fighting, dating sim, and more.

Format-specific lists are available — view only NSP (approx. 2,700+ titles) or XCI (approx. 2,200+ titles). Sorting options include time, popularity, and rating, making it easy to find classic titles or catch up on new releases.

3. All-in-One Packs: Patches + DLC + Cheat Codes + Saves

Many games come as integrated packages, bundling the base game, update patches, and DLC in one download.

Popular titles often include cheat codes and save files — for example, Monster Hunter Rise includes an initial save, and Kirby and the Forgotten Land comes with cheat codes + 9 saves. This saves you the trouble of hunting down complementary files elsewhere.

4. Cheat Code & Save Section + User Center

The navigation has a dedicated "Cheat Codes & Saves" entry, making it easy to find modded files separately.

After registering and logging in, you get a user center where you can favorite games. Searching by game name quickly pinpoints the title, much more efficient than browsing forum threads.

Pricing Model

Currently free, with no membership plans or pricing observed.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Are the games on Palm Games Network really free?

Yes, currently. No membership or payment portals are visible on the site. After registering and logging in, you can get the download links. You will need your own Baidu Drive account to save and download files.

2. How do I choose between XCI and NSP?

NSP is like a digital version, suitable for installing on modded consoles or emulators; XCI is similar to a cartridge image. If both formats are available for the same game, choose based on your device and preference. Emulator users generally find NSP more common.

3. Why can't I download a game even though I found it?

Download links are usually only displayed after logging in. First, register an account, then go to the game detail page and click the "Download Address" button.

4. How do I use the cheat codes and saves included in all‑in‑one packs?

Place cheat code files in the SD card under /atmosphere/contents/GameID/cheats/ — the version number must match the game or it may crash. Save files can be imported using Checkpoint or JKSV. Do not use cheats while playing online — there is a risk of account ban.

5. Are these compatible with both modded consoles and emulators?

Format‑wise, XCI, NSP, and NSZ work for both scenarios. However, you will need to provide your own modded environment or emulator + keys — the site only offers ROMs, not tutorials.

6. How does this differ from buying legit copies on the Nintendo eShop?

Palm Games Network is a ROM sharing site for trial purposes and backup collections. The eShop offers online multiplayer, automatic updates, and official support.
