I just wanna know how this works, not a feature or bug issue

[thanone2]

1. How does this work?
2. is it using an emulator?
3. if it's not using an emulator.... how?
4. how is it getting roms?
5. is it getting roms from nintendo servers?

again, it's not an issue, I'm just curious

1. It connects to Nintendo by logging in trough website to get your digital purchases history from the last 2 years (thats whats visible on the website) and adds it to Playnite for ease of tracking.
2. No, it's not used to run games at all. Only to keep track of them in one place.
3. See 2.
4. See 2.
5. See 2.

Moze info can be found here https://github.com/Jeshibu/PlayniteExtensionsFeatures/blob/main/libraries.md

could it ever be updated to use any other methods that allow for games you bought 2+ years ago to appear in the library?

[XenorPLxx]

Only if Nintendo expands the mentioned list or provides a different way to access games owned programatically.

[CCIGAMES]

hmmm, isnt there a feature in your nintendo account where you see all the games you own generally?

[XenorPLxx]

Is it? Can you put a link? I'll check it out. I didnt check for a while now.

[CCIGAMES]

can't find the specific one i was talking about, but i did find this: https://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/214133/can-i-see-a-list-of-which-nintendo-eshop-games-i-own-somewhere

I dont think it will be much use though

[XenorPLxx]

The main answer there is how to do it trough console, so yea, not much use unless someone can figure out how to emulate exactly what console does to get the list, and that's sadly a bit outside of my are of expertise.

potentially you could use suyu or ryujinx, they seem capable of doing that, perhaps you could reach out to some of their devs for help?

Looks like the address that the plugin is pulling data from is at https://ec.nintendo.com/my/transactions
The rest of the order history is located at https://www.nintendo.com/us/orders/
I imagine if you haven't ordered anything from the eShop in the last two years you'll have to go to the second URL to find it.
I'm not sure why Nintendo has the transaction history in two separate places when it could just put it in one, but eh it's Nintendo 🤷‍♂️

Maybe parse both and combine them into one list? I'm eager to see what comes out of this 👍

Idk if this is new behavior, but @jamesspringle for me that 2nd link currently includes every purchase from the 1st link except for 'product redemptions' from Game Vouchers or external codes.

Seems like it's got old stuff, new stuff, and even purchases of physical goods. For transactions present on both, the 2nd link has the same or more info, except for one case I found:

• 1st link: "Fortnite - True Explorers Quest Pack"
• 2nd link: just "True Explorers Quest Pack"
