===Nintendo Wii U / 3DS===Nintendo delivers used to deliver games the same way Sony does with the PlayStation Network; the with a big ISO with encrypted disk image where all the data is useless without an authentication key. Unfortunately , they've changed this for them3DS and Switch, these keys are much smaller than the game, and can be passed around easily provided people have broken into the console to get them in the first placebut not for Wii U (yet).

You need a titlekey database, covering base games, updates , and DLCs. Some notable ones include [http://wiiu104.titlekeys129.gq56.137/ this for Wii U keys] and [http://3ds.titlekeys.gq this for 3DS keys]. '''Note''' you're still restricted to games that are on the eShop and that people bothered to upload their tickets to that titlekey site, so rare or retail-only games are excluded. You can likely still find these types of games from ROM sites above.

On real 3DS/Wii U hardware, you could also download a package of all tickets ever of all regions and trick the official eShop into thinking you own the game and can redownload it, but on real hardware, it has been reported some out-of-region tickets cause problems. freeShop will just install the tickets you need for the game you chose.

If you're using [[Cemu]] with physical dumps, you'll also need [http://pastebin.com/GWApZVLa the Common Wii U Key, and individual game keys] for games you're emulating. Some 3DS dumps also require seeds to play on real hardware.

You can get either 3DS or Wii U dumps this way. First of all get the NUS Downloader, for example [http://application.wiiuusbhelper.com/Updater.exe Wii U USB Helper] or [https://github.com/dojafoja/FunKii-UI FunKii]. Make sure to use the appropriate URL for the titlekey database.

* '''Wii U dumps:''' You can either install the game to your Wii U by moving it to an SD Card and using [http://wiiubru.com/appstore/#/app/wup_installer_gx2 WUP Installer GX2], or if you're using the deprecated Loadiine (or [[Cemu]]), you can "Convert" it "to Loadiine/CIA". Simply right -click your newly downloaded game, and then click "Prepare for Emulation". The .rpx file will be available in the game's folder, at /code/[yourgame].rpx.* '''3DS dumps:''' Just "Convert to CIA" when the tool is done downloading it. That CIA file can then be installed to real 3DS hardware directly using [https://github.com/Steveice10/FBI/releases FBI], as long as you have enough free space on your SD card for '''double''' its size (if you are unable to fit this size, you can use freeShop instead; also worth noting you may delete the CIA files once they are done, as they are practically installers), or if you want to emulate them, you can instead prepare the game for emulation via Wii U USB Helper, or follow [https://citra-emu.org/wiki/dumping-installed-titles/ this guide] to convert existing titles on your device and prepare them for emulation.

Updates and DLCs can be downloaded the same way. Right click on a game's name to choose which to download. For 3DS games, they can be converted to CIA files, and for Wii U games for emulation on Cemu:

[[Amiibo]] are special figurines that interact with a number of 3DS, Wii U and Switch games. Depending on how hard they are to find, they can either be bought at a local retailer, or on eBay for a fortune. NFC tags are dumped to binary files (.bin). [[Android emulators|Android]] users can use [https://github.com/HiddenRamblings/TagMo/releases TagMo] to read and write these files, provided they have the [https://pastebin.com/aV23ha3X appropriate encryption keys.]

Here's the most complete amiibo Amiibo set from:

Similar situation as Nintendo. As of now, you need RAP license files and the game dump proper to install your game on your CFW'd console, or on real hardware. Some people offer their own license files on some applications and websites so that everyone can get their dumps. Of course, these are limited to popular games people bothered to upload their license files for, and only digital games.

The [http://psndl.net/packages PSNdl] website is a good way to get PS3 PlayStation 3 games for example, including PS PlayStation Classic versions of PS1 PlayStation and PS2 PlayStation 2 dumps that can be extracted and run on regular emulators. Make sure to get the RAP license as well. The pkg file can be decrypted with tools like [https://sites.google.com/site/theleecherman/psnpkgdecryptor-extractor psnpkgdecryptor-extractor] (useful for ripping PS PlayStation Classics), though through emulators like RPCS3 now offer built-in installers for those, and PS3 PlayStation 3 CFW support supports those as well.
