Ah my bad, meant to mention this here but it was late

Bear in mind this was just me finally getting around to officially rebuilding it for 21.0.0 compatability. There are no changes under the hood.

nx-versions has not been updated for over a month,
because it relies on titledb and titledb has not been updated also.
this is happening more often, wish there was a titledb alternative out there.

You and me both.
If there were other sources to pull info from I'd gladly work them into nx-versions.

It's been discussed here https://github.com/trembon/switch-library-manager/issues/97
Found this https://github.com/ghost-land/NX-Content
would it be an alternative?

Actually yeah! From that issue someone linked masagrator's versionlistDumper that I was unaware of.
And looks like they're updating a seperate version list periodically for game updates (no DLC/Cartridge versions).

I'll take a look at scraping that too and combining it with what I already pull from titldb into nx-versions over the coming days.
Maybe I'll throw together an emummc too and (if my console isn't banned) periodically update my own list in case masagrator stops updating theirs someday.

Looks like titledb is updating again, but fwiw I did just now add version_dump to the sources nx-versions scrapes from.

Noob question, but how do we get the updates for our backups if we aren't connecting online?

 

[kidkat210]

The same way you get your games

I use a stock switch to download updates for my games, and then locally transfer the updates:

Since I've updated to firmware 21.2, nx-update-checker gives me 0 missing update/dlc. With v1.5.4 or 1.5.4.1 same results.
I definitely had missing updates before upgrading firmware (was on 21.0.1). Am I the only one in this case ?

Fixed, try again with v1.5.4.1 and let me know if it works for you too?

New hotfix release: https://github.com/16BitWonder/NX-Update-Checker/releases/tag/v1.5.4.2
Built with the latest Libnx to correct the cascading text problem.

Works as intended and no cascading text too ! Thank you for the quick fix

I'm loving this app but have a question about a strange issue. I'm on 21.2.0 and NX-Update-Checker v1.5.4.2 is reporting thing there is an update available for "Horizon Chase 2" 0100001019F6E800. I don't have that game installed and never have. I know I can just ignore it, but still curious where it's finding this game.
