What kind of a process would it be to keep a save file if you are moving from having the game being played on a cartridge you personally own to a pirated or legally obtained digital copy if you are doing it in the emummc?
Well its pretty simple. All you do is dump your save with a save manager such as JKSV from emuMMC then import the save file using JKSV again in sysMMC. Again, I don't recommend this unless you are fine with the ban risk. You really have to weigh which is more valuable to you, your online access or save data.
I don't want to put it back into the sysMMC, they already exist and are working properly there.
Sorry I read your previous message backwards. What you're supposed to do in your case is dump the save from sysMMC and restore it in emuMMC.
Okay, I think I did that, it's just for whatever reason the cartridge version of the game isn't properly kept installed when it moved from sysmmc to emummc. So I guess I will try with a digital version and maybe that will work?
What do you mean by it isn't properly kept installed? As a cartridge, the game should not be installed in the first place.
What I mean by that is while in emummc the game says it needs to download something. So I can't actually play the game while using emummc.
And the game is on the same version as it is on sysMMC? Plus you have all of the same DLC installed in emuMMC?
I believe so yes, though for the same DLC I don't know how I could check it on emuMMC what app might allow one to check if they have the DLC installed on emuMMC? Or not
I forgot which Switch Pokemon game you were referring to but each one only has 2 DLC sets so you need only have installed both of those to have all DLC installed.
Alright I've got a different idea. Have your emuMMC point to the Nintendo folder used for sysMMC. That is to say to have emuMMC use the Nintendo folder on the root of your SD card.
There should be an emummc.ini on your SD card. In that file indicates what Nintendo folder emuMMC uses. Change that path to match the Nintendo folder on your SD card.
The closest thing that matches what you need is called Aquatic DNS. Its primarily used to play online while blocking some telemetry but I suppose it can be used to grab updates from Nintendo's servers as well. Unfortunately, it seems like the DNS was continued in favor of an mitm which you can acquire from the DeepSea Discord server. Link to the original Aquatic DNS thread can be found here.
