ROM Hack Question Can you Backup Game Update Data?

[pcwizard7]

1. Is it possible to backup the update data for games?

2. Is it possible to merge the update data into XCI/NSP Backups?

thanks for advice in advance

if you have a microSD card inserted, the update data should be downloaded to it instead of the internal memory so in that sense you should be able to back it up.. however the might be some files that are in the internal memory that makes it use it... it might not by default go looking on the sd card.. dunno.. as far as integrating it.. smarter people will need to look into that..

Yes the update data is on the SD card only thing internal is used for is save and screenshot/video data. I know i can backup the Nintendo folder which i assume is where update data is located or i could backup all user data with smash payload.

But this doesn't allow me to know which update data (files/Folders) are for which game. If I could tell which update data (files/Folders) are for what game i could at least keep or load the update i want and leave the rest on my pc.

so if any1 has any ideas that be great
