Did you download and install any update .NSP files for Xenoblade for your console?
Hmmm this is how I did things.

-Got Xenoblade 2, installed official update online.
-Days later I got new SD, moved my xci there, told me to update, can't play.
-Got NPS Update but I still can't play since it's not the newest one.

I think I found latest update but it made me wonder why I can play the updated game in one SD and the newer one I can't if my update was supposedly installed in my system :(

Either you would look for the keys.txt online (they are copyrighted so they cannot be shared here, even through PM) or you can generate them with another homebrew application named kezplez. More specifically, I am referring to shchmue's fork since it is more stable and works on higher firmwares.

Also I would say you have a greater chance of being struck by lightning than breaking/destroying the console by installing a .XCI game

Outside of dumping the update/downloading it from online then installing it into the second console, you can try following this tutorial to share the update from one Switch to another: https://gbatemp.net/threads/match-v...going-online-on-cfw-need-two-switches.509395/

Whats the difference between installing xci to NAND and SD Card?? I can place games onto my sd card via windows.. lol so? nand is system sdd yes?

I have one final suggestion. Make a backup of the entire SD card that doesn't work, or at least the Nintendo folder, and copy the Nintendo folder from the SD card that works onto the one that doesn't work.

NAND is your internal system memory while SD card is...your SD card. Games are slightly faster when installed into the internal memory and games installed into the SD card will only launch when the SD card is inserted, but outside of that, there are no other differences between the two.

1) I got Ticket installation failed! Warning when I was installing mario, what should I do??

2) how can I later uninstall the game from NAND?

  1. .XCI files do not have tickets. They work without them
  2. Using Data Management by pressing + on the icon from the Home Screen or from System Settings

Prodinfo is stored the eMMC SYS partition which the rawnand is comprised of (rawnand also includes the eMMC USER partition).

Yes, PRODINFO can be found in your rawnand.bin. If you're extra paranoid, you can back it up with the ReiNX toolkit which is referred to as Cal0, but you can extract PRODINFO from your rawnand.bin

I am paranoid and i will backup it once more with ReiNX toolkit in this case haha. better safe then sorry.

Thanks for the quick responce Draxzelex, as always i appreciate it :)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.

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

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @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
