Help for those who can't get updates to install on hacked switch

[zeldamariofan]

I was having problems updating games on my hacked switch. So, I figured out that if I deleted the contents of the Nintendo folder, I could get everything to install.

I wasn't trying to cause a debate. I was just saying what I had to do to get the games to work. Maybe the file was corrupted when I copied it back, I don't know. I tried DBI and tinwoo, neither worked. Before doing that, I tried to play the games, they wouldn't play. When I tried to reinstall the updates, it would say it was already there. And the base game, would be a blank spot on the home screen. Hopefully, no one else has to be this drastic, but I did.

I don't understand what are you asking

If you need help for games updates, then you'd have to find them elsewhere because we can't share piracy stuff here

I wasn't asking for anything. I have all the updates to my games. I just couldn't install them, because the Switch would say they were already installed, which would cause the main file to fail. I put this here, as a way for people that were having trouble, like I was. Of course, it means any saves are lost, unless they are backed up with a save manager.

It doesn't make sense to delete the content of Nintendo folder. That would wipe out not only the updates but also the games themselves. I would advice against doing that.
By the way saves are located on NAND, not in the Nintendo folder

You have a very good chance of being banned by getting pirated game updates online through the Switch.

Any screenshots? I've never run into such error.

In any case, try installing updates with DBI (latest English, latest Russian). I'm not even sure how you're actually installing them. if you're trying to install them the way @BigOnYa mentioned, don't do that. Some games have different releases for different regions, therefore the base game, updates and DLC must be for the same region/release of the game. Otherwise, they won't work. (Well, base game will, while updates and DLC will ask for the base game to be redownloaded which you obviously shouldn't do if you don't want to get your console banned).
