This method is a little more user-friendly than the previous method, but comes with two caveats: +### ~~Method 2: braindump~~ -1. Digitally installed games that were released after the introduction of system version 9.6 cannot be dumped using braindump. -2. Braindump can't access all of the game's information, so it generates fake metadata. That is usually good enough for Citra, [__but not always__](https://github.com/neobrain/braindump/issues/24).
