Homebrew Downgrading digital eShop games? (Homebrew obviously)

[Butterscotch_P1e]

I want to downgrade Super Mario Odyssey to v1.0 but I have the digital version as it was bundled with my Switch. Is there a way to like delete the update but not the game or download the game and not the update? And tell me if I will get banned if I use a certain method.

What certain method?

What certain method?

By "certain method" I mean if anyone suggests something I could do I am referring to that.

Without CFW, you can't.

You can do it with DBI:
Reset Required Version:

1. Open the program
2. Select Browse installed applications
3. Select a game that you need, press A
4. Press - button to delete an update that you don't want (for example)
5. Press A again and click Reset required version.

I would not suggest doing this on sysNAND, there is no point risking a ban when you can't use online features in the game without the latest version anyway.

Just delete updates with a title manager, DBI/tinfoil

Press A again and click Reset required version.

Not needed. After deleting update version resetted automatically.

It normally won't let you play with a downgraded game version. But maybe dbi does it automatically.

You provided instruction that uses DBI. BTW - buttons you are specified in the instruction are wrong.

I don't use dbi, I just copied the instructions.

My brain works in weird ways and by saying "risking" it's getting me confused. Will it ban me or not? I don't care about online in odyssey but I care about online in other games.

perhaps a stupid question, but aren't you supposed to be using emunand when messing with games? also, what's the point in downgrading odyssey? I also have the digital version, but I'm legit, so there was/is no way to downgrade. my guess is that you wouldn't be banned simply for playing a downgraded game as a cartridge on a system that's not online might be on 1.0. and, the system doesn't automatically update games unless their on the home menu row iirc, so theoretically, an official user could be on 1.0 even today. I don't know about modding a switch though, but I wouldn't do it on sysnand if it were me.
