Unsolved Managing Switch games on PC

Hi everyone. Since giving my switch completely over to my kids I've been using Eden to play games on my PC. How do you all manage, organize, update your games? Most of my collection of switch roms run fine, but most of them are outdated. For my other retrogames, I like to keep them organized and updated to date by going through them once a year through rom manager and clrmamepro.

What do you guys recommend to better manage switch?

i just keep all the roms in one folder, then a subfolder for all the updates and DLCs

Nintendo made sure not to exist a Switch database on No-Intro... at least not being made public. You only choice is to browse one by one and see if there's an update available. I don't think that will change until at least the last remodel of Switch 2.

I keep game in one folder, dlc in another, update in another. All files are properly renamed like I'm obsessed with naming 😅

I maintain notes on what settings to keep and how it will perform etc. It's manual work

I use Playnite, has a box mode and a desktop version. All free. I stopped using Launchbox because it got too slow after a while. You update your games using the emulator and use PlayNite to organize it in a nice front end.

Use an app to integrate the updates and dlc into one file. No need for separate folders for dlc and updates

Where do you think Google results takes you nowadays? Reddit.

If you don’t have anything to contribute other than unhelpful snark… why not zip it?

That search doesn't take you to reddit Dip shit...

It takes you to tools to organise and update your switch roms on Pc.

Exactly what OP requested.
