Atmosphère doesn't have HDD support yet, though it's in the works.

SXOS is the only custom firmware with HDD support right now.
I haven't personally used it, but I'm pretty sure you can run XCIs off of the HDD and install NSPs from it to your internal memory or SD. No way to install NSPs to the HDD.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong on this.

on atmoshphere you can't do either. only direct game installs over usb connected to your computer are possible.

Yep, then you just buy the license. Save a few bucks. That's what I did, no problems.

awesome thanks a ton man just trying to get info and make sure it was legit and you think its worth the money i rarely play it on handheld its mainly on my tv anyways ?

If you mainly play on the TV and you have a hard disk, yes definitely worth it. Make sure to check out the app from julesontheroad that allows you to create xcis with updates and DLCs included. Really useful, as you don't need to install any nsp on your SD card or internal memory.

That's the app I'm referring to. >> https://gbatemp.net/threads/nsc_bui...lder-game-updates-dlc-in-a-single-xci.522486/

You don’t need a guide extremely easy just drag and drop
