I just wanted to post this, but you were faster :) Did you try installing UNCHANGED updates or base games? I think hexediting might be obsolete/not needed anymore with the latest Tinfoil you mentioned.
Do game updates boot on your switch now, which previously didn't because they still needed a...
Newest Tinfoil build compiled and added to OP. Haven't tested it though.

for me the semi-old Tinfoil (with 54 commits) worked like a charm, just like the old one (minus update support). Base games and updates install just fine. Patched/hex-edited game updates still need their required...
I think you are missing the proper ES patch for for launching the games? look in the ReiNx/titles (if using reinx) or in the atmosphere/titles folder(if using atmosphere+hekate).
AFAIK there should be a folder ending with 33. If it isn't there, get the ES patching folder for your 5.x firmware...
@pausuri Update patching still doesn't work! The newest Tinfoil will install the update but it will still need an systemupdate!! This Tinfoil is the newer one in the OP. I think this problem is a limitation of the patching method and not a bug of Tinfoil, to be honest.
from OP:
KEEP IN MIND...
If I understand it correctly (unfortunately I'm not fluent in coding language) this should patch a NSP without extracting it? Nice!!!
If this proves to be good, I will definetly push your file/code to my OP, if you're okay with it :)
that is true! but keep in mind that lots of games only pretend to need a higher firmware than is actually needed for playing the game. the key revision or "key generation" is the important part here!
So there could be games that are released today but are still using older key rev. and thus...
why exactly that number? I need 13 digits for the updates.
Edit: I just checked the 1-2-switch update you mentioned.. it has 12 digits. so the number of digits increased for the higher updates? weird
Edit2: it seems that games that have 13 digits for minimal fw also have one digit more in the...
That could be. It could also be, that the switch scans for a certain minimal number that has to be filled in. It could also be that there is another factor for the switch to scan for the minimum firmware needed. For now it's all speculation and thus trial and error...
Found a way better method to change minimum FW for games! see OP!
Unfortunately, it doesn't work with patches - they still force you to update.... they also have more digits in their XML for required firmware info... weird!
<KeyGenerationMin>4</KeyGenerationMin>

nope, the downloaded version of Mario Tennis Ace seems to force an update on 4.1.0 without this method. So there seem to be differences between cart games...
