## What it is
DBI is a Nintendo Switch homebrew application for installing game titles in NSP, NSZ, XCI, and XCZ formats via MTP, USB, HTTP, and other sources. It also functions as a file manager with save backup/restore, archive and image viewing, and ticket management.

## Use cases
- install nsp files on nintendo switch from pc
- transfer games to switch over usb or mtp
- backup and restore switch save data
- manage files on switch sd card
- install games from a local http server to switch
- browse and manage switch tickets and installed titles

## When to choose
- you run homebrew on a Nintendo Switch and need a full-featured title installer
- you want MTP/USB/HTTP/network installation of NSP, NSZ, XCI, XCZ files
- you need save backup, ticket browsing, and file management in one Switch app

## When to avoid
- you need a tool for unmodified (stock) Switch consoles without homebrew
- you want an English-language interface or documentation today
- you are not working with Nintendo Switch game installation

- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: file-system, file-upload, developer-tools
