What are you talking about? It will say "Insert game" in OFW if you try to click on it when it isn't mounted in CFW. And even if he could update in OFW there's countless people reporting bans that only updated back up games since getting SX OS, so clearly he's in airplane mode to avoid that like a lot of us.

You're basically screwed unless you want to take (an even greater) risk of getting the online ban. I wouldn't do it. Maybe there's a way for .XCI releases in the future to not require the update?

im 100% sure there will be a freeshop in the near future and youll find all the updates you could ever want there.

FINALLY someone who understands what I was saying, even though I tried to point it out like 4-5 times lol.

You caused the confusion by titling the thread "...but I'm on the latest OS", implying you thought it was related to the OS you were using, either firmware of the console or SX OS, not the game update

Ok let me try and break it down, i can not start the game without updating and I'm using SX OS, meaning i can't go online. There is no way to skip the update and start it anyway. I have never seen a game that doesn't let you start up the game without updating unless it is because your system version is too old.

I know this is not a system update!

Maybe use the devmenu? I've seen an option to reset game required version or smt like that.

I had the same issue with Smash Bros 4 on the 3DS... I popped it into my 3DS (offline) in the car, and couldn't even play it because the full game isn't on the cart... It's a complete bullshit business practice that's still happening today.

Guys update backups only in ofw. Click pluse button and than download update on internet
Uhh NO? Updating backups is literally asking to get banned. Do not update back ups if you care about that. I have 14 backups on my SD card and majority of them ask for an update but who cares? Just click "start software" instead.

Yes, but there are ones with mandatory updates.
So, here's how this happens.

Example A.
The Legend of Zelda was in this switch long before I installed SX OS on it, and was online. I haven't used it in this Switch for months now, and recently turned off all wifi on it and installed SX OS on it.
Backed up the Cartridge and now it's asking for a mandatory update which the window comes up with the dialogue (paraphrasing):

[This title needs an update:]
Cancel | Update

Example B.
You have dumped a title which your Switch Unit has never used or played online before, and is asking for an update:

[This title has an update:]
Start software without update
Cancel | Update

There are the problems we are having in some sort of miscommunication, above.

So much FUD. Safely, carefully updating games while in OFW and precautions taken is not proven to get you banned despite the few unverifiable claims that that's all they did. Sure, if you want 100% protection from being banned then never turn wifi on for whatever reason, ever. They can't ban you from anything if you ban yourself first. It's misleading to deal in absolutes when talking about what does/doesn't get you banned.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)

    run h2testw on it

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
