I understand what you are saying, seems like with Smash they include the DLC content with regular game updates hence only an unlocker file is required, but is that the case with all games?
Afaik it's possible that there will be games where the DLC content will not update via a regular game update and you'll need to use a new updated DLC file instead, this is where I have my doubts...

As I stated before, an unlocker is meant to unlock DLC that is currently released or has yet to be released. Even if the DLC itself changes, the unlocker doesn't need to change because its not dependent on what the actual DLC is; its just meant to unlock whatever DLC the developer wants it to unlock.

Correct! But you are assuming that all DLC content is already on the base game or will be added via a regular game update.

My point is that if there *could* be a case that later on the developer decides to make some changes to the DLC and instead of providing those changes via a regular game update it instead does it via a v2 DLC update file in which case it's up to you to find out and get the v2 DLC file in the case you wish to play the DLC content that the developer changed/updated.

I know of DLC 'unlockers' that are a few GB in size so in this case they will not actually 'unlock' anything per se because there is nothing to unlock but rather add the actual extra content to the game.

The bottom line would be if people should keep an eye for DLC updates that are released separately of regular game updates or once unlocked the DLC will always be up to date just by installing a regular update to the base game?

In the history of the Switch scene, there has never been an updated DLC.

All i have done is change the Primary DNS to 163.172.141.219 and the secondary DNS to 207.246.121.77 in connection settings, should i be doing more then?

That’s 90DNS. It black holes Nintendo Servers at the remote DNS level. There’s an ongoing debate as to whether or not DNS resolution coming from other locations (such as 90DNS) has an impact on your download speeds. I say let the facts speak for themselves and test if your downloads with and without are significantly different for YOU. If YOU can’t tell the difference then they are the same. Nobody else matters.

The risk for 90DNS IMO is that it has to be set up on each network you attach to before you start sending data on that network. Go to a friends house? Plug into your Dock? Change wifi routers at the house? All opportunities to forget to set up 90DNS.

Other than that…I love it and use it myself. It’s all about layers.

That said, I also run this: https://rentry.org/ExosphereDNSMITM

It’s built in to Atmosphere and makes it so DNS queries about Ninty never make it out of your Switch. They are instantly resolved as 127.0.0.1 (basically your own internal IP…so it kills them because your switch won’t respond like a Ninty server does.) It also comes with a Prodinfo “blanker” which removes your Switch’s identity so not only can you not lookup the DNS, even if you did, Ninty would block you because you don’t have a valid Prodinfo value.

On top of that yiu could take it one step further with Incognito_RCM and actually remove your Prodinfo (vs masking it) from your Switch completely. The only downside is if you don’t keep a backup so you can put it back you are technically permanently banning yourself. Good times.

Bottom Line: At least do this right away https://rentry.org/ExosphereDNSMITM and think about doing 90DNS and Incognito_RCM at your leisure.

Many of the shops are down due to the way Google changed the previously unlimited .edu storage accounts. Try different shops. There are a few still up.

When I’m in the mood for sinning I think about tits. You can get tits pro for as little as $5 if you look at their discord.



setup is dead easy. I‘m sure you’ve gotten this far but just to be sure:

The trick with Mame is to first download a core and THEN go find the roms for that core. There are different rom sets for each. You can’t mix and match.

Hope that helps…

So a duck walked up to a lemonade stand and he said to the man running the stand “hey, got any MAME?”*
*to be clear the duck duck actually asked Arcade machines (“MAME”) Emulator Switch NSP?

Hello I’m still having trouble with the Mame game, I went to a site to get a 2003 mame rom for simpson game. I put it named “simpsons” and other named “simps2pa” in Retroarch—> downloads—> Game—> rom. On retoarch I have all Mame and FBA cores installed and updated. I have a DS game as well and that one works, but that one has an official name. I don’t know if that mattersz

It’s named 3055 - Chrono Trigger (U) (Xenophobia). Maybe should I name the simpson one something else or no?

I think you may be wrong because if you go to tinfoil.io there are tons of games where the DLCs often get updated to a different version, Smash included. Even I have some v0 & v65536 of the same DLC 'unlocker' at hand which is not a regular game update file, I just think not many people know about this situation thus I wonder if once 'unlocked' any DLC we have installed will always be up to date by just doing a regular game update. My thinking is that there will be some DLCs that you'll need to get a different file (v2) of the DLC to get them updated although that might not be the case for all games.

First of all, Tinfoil is incredibly unreliable as a source of information. Secondly, as I just explained using it as an example, Smash doesn't update its DLC. Both of the fighters pass had unlockers for each character and these were never updated nor changed. I even dumped them myself since I actually paid for the DLC and wanted to share it with the community.

Tinfoil.io is as reliable as nintendo's report's on their CDN. You can definitely be correct in regards to Smash DLCs and maybe said DLCs get updated via a regular game update and you don't even notice it, but I can say that I have different versions of the same DLC at hand as they are listed on tinfoil.io I just found many contradicting information on the internet regarding whether one will always get their DLCs updated to the latest version via a regular game update or sometimes a specific DLC update file will be needed.

Then what you're probably seeing isn't updated DLC but multiple DLC. As I said, the Fighters Pass is one DLC file per character so if for whatever reason, Nintendo wants it to follow the same numbering scheme as updates, then there is technically multiple DLC files but those files themselves are not updated; they just add more DLC files such as the second Fighters Pass.

No it's the same DLC but a different (updated) version. Heres an example:

Hello,

My album opens up homebrew without holding any button and i have to press R to open up the original album applet.

How do i change this the other way around?

So when i click the album applet the album opens and when i hold R the homebrew menu opens up in applet mode?

 

[mspy]

@Draxzelex As you can see the versions are different despite being the exact same DLC (same TitleID and everything), it's like a regular update file but for DLCs instead.
After some digging it seems this is nothing new, for instance take a look at the bottom of this NFO

It says: In other words, we expected the newest update to include the updated DLC content but Nintendo decided to update the DLC itself.

This makes me think that there isn't anything that prevents DLCs of having their own unique update files.

You need to "negate" the key combo.

Here's a discussion on how you do it: Title Override — What is title override and how to override its key combo

Checking it out myself now. Apparently, the tor is going to take 5 days...only 1 seed. Ungh. Will grab it from 1file and ping you when I have it installed...for testing purposes only of course.

I’m trying to download a MAME game on retroarch but it’s not coming up on downloads. I have every Arcade core , Mame and FBA on Retroarch. I’m trying to play the Simpsons Arcade game. My files are Retroarch->Download—> Game folder—> simpsos2pa

When I go to the simpsompa it tells me there no items. I have a DS title that runs fine but it has a more official name such as “3055 - Chrono Trigger (U) (XenoPhobia)” Maybe the file name has to be different ?

wait what do you mean? There is a romset of it online and you can just pull the simpson arcade game right from it. Or are you talking about something else. What does a torrent do

Just had a look at that and will do it, at the very bottom it has to be a typo right? It says if you plan to use atmosphere on sysnand for online play!

It also talks about setting up DNS for sysnand but for a clean sysnand used only for stock firmware, you leave the DNS alone Dont you?

How is your SD card formatted?

i think it's exfat and emummc on separate partition, should i just reformat my sd card create a new emummc?

Hello everyone , I’m trying to dump my cartridge game for nxtdumptool (mk8). I download as XCi, but when I go to goldleaf, I can install it. It only says view hex. Any fix?
