Get Nintendo Switch media via MTP

Things are kinda hectic here, so I’m really asking for assistance - I know that Nintendo Switch uses MTP:

  • For non-Windows environments, you may be able to use this feature by installing (on your computer) a software for MTP support. Install software on your computer at your own risk. Nintendo cannot guarantee the use of any software nor can we provide information on software for MTP support.

I know that there’s the Arch Wiki page for MTP, but so far what I’ve tried from there failed:

Device connects and is recognized properly:

sudo fuser /dev/bus/usb/001/033 comes back empty… Dolphin says there’s no MTP devices.

Ideas on what I can try?

Goddamnit, I’m feeling so terribl dumb right now. I thought it was just plug and play, but no. Nintendo needs me to go to a settings inside settings and enable. But after that, it’s plug and play.
