I Should likely know this, but what is the different here?

For instance a game can have depands of Base 18.1 and UPD 19.0 or even Base 9.2.0 and UPD 18.1.
Offcource this has something todo with the system version, but I cant understand whats the difference here? Does it have anything todo with the atmos version at all?

Base = The firmware version it was developed on.
UPD = Update files firmware version.

Has nothing to do with Atmosphere at all.

They depends on the sdk used. You just need the latest update in general.
I see.
But in general I can still install a game like that without having issues, I just cannot start it right? And if it dont work I update afterwards.

well there is ways that you sometimes can downgrade them. But its just generally a good idea to just update if hekate and atmosphere works with the latest version

You might get a nag if you installed an update that is lower than the latest update if you aren't blocking server communication and are on latest firmware.

Like if you had dns blocker on then you turn it off and you are on the latest firmware and if you launch a game that have update available it will nag you.

Thanks.
A quick follow up. If i want to delete a game, and make sure all updates, dlc etc also is deleted. Is there a better way todo this then the system, or is that enough to delete all?
Or would another program be better to scrub all from the SD card?

You can just delete the game from the home screen, it get rid of the update and dlc. The only thing get left behind are the tickets.
