Is there actually a way to get the AllPlayTime value? Funnily enough, it isnt shown anywhere in the normal menus is it?

The Switch's user profile screen shows each game's play time in 5-hour increments.

I believe it only goes up to 200, at which point it just says 200+

My profile entry for Tears of the Kingdom says 215 hours.

It shows up in Ryujinx's debug console. Let's hope there's a way to copy your save to the emulator. And without Nintendo finding it out and banning your console.

I'm sure it's kind of beyond their remit, but I hope the EU eventually mandates being able to get your data off of consoles.

Even if you can't put it back on there, it'd be a huge benefit.

If your switch is hackable (all are, but some new ones need a hardware mod) you can copy user and system (animal crossing only, ATM) saves off the console using lockpickrcm/tegraexplorer without even booting the device. I used this to get my saves off a corrupted SD card that had my emunand on it.
