Yes, you can just install the nsp like normal. Because the game will read the nsp file and see it as an update for your "cart" game. That's how it works normally.

i always use the building TX menu for installing nsp updates and nsp files without any problem. if the update is new then it can be dependent on your firmware. try searching for firmware requirement for your particular update.

Either this or you merge the two of them together into one XCI with NSC Builder so the Switch thinks this is a cartridge revision already containing the update. ;) This works for DLCs as well.
Built myself an XCI of Mortal Kombat 11 containing the update and all yet released DLCs since that f*cking game is almost 30 gb in size so I can play it from an external USB drive without wasting mSD space.

With Goldleaf 0.5
Head to Title Management, find the game and uninstall only the update.

No never tried that game. Why? Can't you get it to work?

Im planning to try it, because the update is too big lols

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

NBA 2k19 goes above 32gb with the update. There aren't 64gb cartridges in the market currently or flags in the SDK so it won't work. Not sure if the limitation is actually in Horizon current capabilities or in SX OS code. The error is kinda the same as before they released they 32gb cartridges patch.

i saw this post in the other thread.

Oh over 32 gb, I see. That might be a problem.
Guess you would have to wait for a FW update after such a big game came out actually for Horizon (and SX OS?) to support it.
Seems like installing the update NSP and launching the base game is your only option then.
