| Component | Required Version | File Name Example |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Base Game | Streets of Rage 4 (BASE) | Streets of Rage 4 [0100EC8010258000][v0].nsp |

Always check the release notes from trusted scene groups (like SUXXORS, Venom, or BBB). Disclaimer: This information is for educational and archival

An NSP is a digital file format used by Nintendo Switch for downloadable content. Unlike XCI (cartridge dumps), NSPs are typically installed directly to the system memory or SD card. The Streets of Rage 4 base NSP is roughly 4–5 GB.
