Hacking XCI with no SXOS possible?

[wiifii]

You live by the load times @kamesenin888 . XCI is for people who waste their time sitting down waiting for the game to load

I can update all my xci games via nintendo online not wasting anytime here

Yes indeed you can and you wont be banned for using XCI as long as you're playing it offline. I've done that since SXOS was out and at first it was okay but until I came across NSP, my opinion changed. There is so many source of NSP collection literally everywhere. UPDATE.nsp for games are easily accessible with a quick Google search

Hey guys

Is it possible to play XCI instead of NSA to avoid bans with just atmosphere/CFW?
If positive, is it just by installing normally with Goldleaf for example like any other NSA?

Thank you very much

you can buy an Sxos License its $30 usd , half of what a triple A game cost is , and you will save a lot of troubles :-) .

So, in the end, even with XCI it is still guaranteed that we will be banned by trying to play online, correct?

I'm not too much of an online competitive freak, but I do enjoy trading pokémon online and a few casual battles.

Thank you

I never understood the GREAT point of loading xci files if you still need to install updates and DLC's...
it's just one more installation in my opinion!

If you create an Emunand with Sxos you can use that partition to play xci and nsp without connecting to internet . And when you want to play online do it with sysnand .

You can build the dlc and updates into the xci

That's cool... time consuming, but cool!

Not really time consuming. It's come along all you do is drag and drop the files you want to combine.. then it rebuilds the xci with everything included. A 16gb game only takes a few minutes.

Then I don't have to Install NSP and free to switch games and keep all dlc available without wasting space.

Nintenod's security towards piracy is much greater than the 3DS. So basically when it comes to the Switch playing online with games you don't own is not an option if you value your account or Switch online privileges. Best advice I can give you is buy the games you love the most and learn how to use emmunand so that you can play your legit games online with your sysnand. Doesn't matter if its xci or nsp going online with them is a big no. XCI is just safer in terms of not being installed on your nand leaving unwanted tickets like nsp does.

Except you don't. You can just merge the updates and dlc into the xci without the need to install anything.

hats the name of the program to do the merge ?

And when there's a new update? Will installing a newer update overwrite the old one in the xci or do I have to live with either wasted space or having to re-merge the xci?

yes you can even add new dlc to the already made custom xci. You are essentially creating your own deluxe edition of the said game

But I have to grab the xci off the SD, re-merge it and put it back on? It won't do that automagically?

You have to replace the old xci b/c it creates a new one with updated content
@matias3ds its called NSCBuilder https://gbatemp.net/threads/nsc_bui...lder-game-updates-dlc-in-a-single-xci.522486/

Well, that sounds like a hassle. Now I just fire up dz and grab/install the update over network.

Some ppl like to have everything in 1 package or taking up 0 space on the Sd card using an external HDD but if you don't mind installing many DLC and update on your nand or SD card then by all means go for it. Not really a hassle since you wont be doing often depending if the game stopped getting support in content. Copy/pasting the game over to the sd card is what takes time.

90% of the time the errors are due to not having updated master keys you need to dump or download the latest keys.txt of the current firmware (8.1.0) for new game/dlc/update support
