when i tried to install using NSUSBINstaller/AwooInstaller it states that i have invalid NCA signature of the game but when i installed using DBI no such error popped up. Should i be worried?
This is because Awoo was not updated for a long time and it doesn't support sparse titles. DBI supports them since 330 versionShould i be worried?
Does the game launch though? That error might be indicating a bad NSP or wrong sig patches that other installers are ignoring.when i tried to install using NSUSBINstaller/AwooInstaller it states that i have invalid NCA signature of the game but when i installed using DBI no such error popped up.

To answer the question in the OP, DBI lets you transfer files by MTP, that's the main feature that sets it apart from other installers. I don't like MTP because it's slow and unreliable but I digress. Anyway, there's not much else different.
what do you mean by sparse titleThis is because Awoo was not updated for a long time and it doesn't support sparse titles. DBI supports them since 330 version
NCA for content allowed for implementing patch inside base NCA with using sparse header. It was never used in games until recently and many apps didn't bother to check flag for Sparse title, that's why now not updated installers freak out when reading header.it launched without any error.

so basically the warning i got was because the game was patched. was there any reason why games need to be patched using that sparse header thing?NCA for content allowed for implementing patch inside base NCA with using sparse header.

I don't have any proof, but my wild guess is to prevent leaking info about games. To upload normal update to eshop you must have configured title fully in eshop and this info is uploaded regularly to all Switches (so it can be catched by bots). With sparse header you can add patch to base game without configuring fully eshop title.so basically the warning i got was because the game was patched. was there any reason why games need to be patched using that sparse header thing?
Lol. I read this error as NCA wrong header for some reason.Checking nca signature and sparse nca are two totally different things.
It seems that awoo just wrong checks signature. Try with tinfoil - it also has signature verification. Or nscb.
