This has been posted already as far as i know, let me look for it..:

Yup, isnt this the same tutorial?
https://gbatemp.net/threads/guide-how-to-uodate-your-games-without-updating-the-device.466262/


How are they the same? You dont need to connect the Via internet at all.
Also my guide is even for a device that never connected to internet.

7. Start the console, without connecting it to the network, and press the minus button while you are on the tab of the game you want to update.
8. On the menu that appeared, there's a tab named "Software Update" an in it option "Via the internet" that you should choose.
9. Choose your network when the list is loaded.
10. It will start to download your game update. When finished and the game is ready, repeat step 6 before anything else, just to assure yourself that there's no update on the system and you have no longer connection trough which it could be downloaded.

If you have 2 switches, why go through all of this? Just play your backups on your second switch and don't link it to a NNID... if theres no Nintendo Account, nothing to ban, but you still get updates...

it doesn't necessarily have to be your own switch, maybe a friend who has that game, or if you are just planning to buy the game and returning it.

Both of you need to have the game launched at least once on your Switches, whether legitimately through the cartridge or as a backup via SX OS.

will this update my switch past 4.10? Or will it just update my friend's DB Xenoverse game and system firmware to match mine?

Edit:My 4.10 switch will be the source switch if that's not clear

Hello,
I stupidly tried updating Diablo with this method on two switch with cfw (on version 6 or below) from a non hacked switch on firmware 7.0. I didn't knew my friend updated his switch...
The switchs now cannot boot from Hekate because of a firmware error. Yeah I know, sucks to be a noob.

Do you guys know what Solutions are available to me to make my switchs working again ?
Wait for a stable way to update my cfw to 7.0 (should be available in a couple of weeks)

Flash boot 0 and 1 and reinstall everything? Is there no way to avoid having to reinstall every game? They were all installed on the SD card.

Thx for your help, I'm a it lost here....

    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @salazarcosplay if they made a prequel, it would still be about current issues, cause it doesn't make sense to make it about stuff that happened 30 years ago that nobody cares about anymore
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's too late
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the older south park episodes about particular issues usually age poorly since the topic is no longer relevant
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    an exception is giant douche vs turd sandwich, that's always relevant :P
