The closest thing that matches what you need is called Aquatic DNS. Its primarily used to play online while blocking some telemetry but I suppose it can be used to grab updates from Nintendo's servers as well. Unfortunately, it seems like the DNS was continued in favor of an mitm which you can acquire from the DeepSea Discord server. Link to the original Aquatic DNS thread can be found here.
I will check it out thank you so much Draxzelex ☺️

Is your fusee.bin up-to-date as well? If not, try updating it and see if it works.

Otherwise, turn off your Switch and remove your SD card from the Switch and plug it into your PC. Make a backup of your atmosphere and bootloader folders just in case something goes wrong and remove them afterwards from your SD card. After that, download the latest fresh Atmosphere and Hekate from their official repositories. While you're at it, you'll need a new hekate_ipl.ini which you can grab from the sigpatches thread, as well as latest sys-patch. After that, put the SD card back into your PC, launch RCM mode and send the latest fusee.bin payload and, hopefully, it'll work this time around.

You can check the NH Switch Guide.
Additionally, you'll need to find firmware files for the Switch on your own because we aren't allowed to link to them here (quick Google search is all it takes to find them). Or you can update your stock firmware and dump it as mentioned in the guide above, it's up to you.
For game backups to work, you'll need latest sys-patch (for firmware 19.0.0 or newer and Atmosphere 1.8.0 or newer)
If you plan on connecting your emuNAND to the Internet, make sure to setup 90DNS or DNS MITM in order to block Nintendo servers.
For keeping your CFW up-to-date, check this guide.

There should be an emummc.ini on your SD card. In that file indicates what Nintendo folder emuMMC uses. Change that path to match the Nintendo folder on your SD card.
By that do you mean create a copy of it or do you mean actually place it in the "Nintendo" folder, and are there any risks/consequences I should be made aware of what would happen doing it?

Sorry I had to recheck my emummc.ini file to check how its properly configured. Basically, there's a line that starts with "nintendo_path". After the equals sign, change it to "/Nintendo" without the quotation marks of course. This will set it to use the Nintendo folder on the root of the SD card. There shouldn't be any risks or consequences by doing this.

Hello! Please tell me how I can access the game files in the NSZ format. I would like to replace the game files in the Switch version with some files from the PC version, for example, translation, menu pictures

Honestly thank you for this, I’m sick of packs on YouTube and I want to learn.
That’s what I learned so far.
I need kekate as a boot loader
Also hatmosphere as a cfw
Sys -patch
And sigpatches ( to load backups ;) )
Here is where my confusion begins on the sys-patch and sig patches
Do I need them both to run apps like tinfoil or just need sys- patch ?
The last time I tried to do it by my own tinfoil didn’t run ( corrupted data) just in aoplet mode worked. ( I do believe I put both sys and sigpatches from the AIO site )
Anyways I’m sorry for my English I’m still learning it as well.
Anyway this community is awesome. 👏
Thank you all for the quickest response always ✨

Update both worked very well. Do need to figure out how to install the DLC for one and make save modifications to JKSV but the big problem has now been solved. Thank you very much.

Can someone help me fix my hekate_ipl.ini, somewhere along the road of updating my switch and cfw to the latest versions I messed with the ini file a few times and now I can't boot into cfw sysnand, Only emunand.
This was my ini before i changed anything

Code:
[config]
autoboot=0
autoboot_list=0
bootwait=0
autohosoff=0
autonogc=1
updater2p=1
backlight=100

[Atmosphere (SysNAND)]
fss0=atmosphere/package3
kip1patch=nosigchk
atmosphere=1
emummc_force_disable=1
icon=bootloader/res/icon_Atmosphere.bmp

[Atmosphere (EmuNAND)]
fss0=atmosphere/package3
kip1patch=nosigchk
emummcforce=1
atmosphere=1
icon=bootloader/res/icon_Atmosphere_hekate.bmp

[Stock - sysMMC]
fss0=atmosphere/package3
emummc_force_disable=1
stock=1
icon=bootloader/res/icon_stock.bmp
This is the one I changed it to when trying to update
Code:
[config]
autoboot=0
autoboot_list=0
bootwait=3
backlight=100
autohosoff=0
autonogc=1
updater2p=0
bootprotect=0

[Atmosphere (SysNAND)]
payload=bootloader/payloads/fusee.bin
icon=bootloader/res/icon_Atmosphere.bmp

[Atmosphere (EmuNAND)]
fss0=atmosphere/package3
kip1patch=nosigchk
emummcforce=1
atmosphere=1
icon=bootloader/res/icon_Atmosphere_hekate.bmp

[Stock - sysMMC]
fss0=atmosphere/package3
stock=1
emummc_force_disable=1
icon=bootloader/res/icon_stock.bmp

I tried changing it because when I tried launching into cfw sysnand I got a "failed nosigchk" or something like that (I should've paid more attention).
Any insight would be appreciated, Thank you

You don't need both as they do the same thing. sys-patch is the one I personally recommend, mainly because it's easier to update/maintain than sigpatches and usually requires less frequent updating.

The last time I tried to do it by my own tinfoil didn’t run ( corrupted data) just in aoplet mode worked. ( I do believe I put both sys and sigpatches from the AIO site )
Forwarders got broken in firmware 19.0.0 and they need to be recreated. You can use this tool, install this one provided by another user, wait for the official release or stick to the applet mode / title override (by holding R button on a game in order to get into hbmenu in order to get full RAM access).

I tried changing it because when I tried launching into cfw sysnand I got a "failed nosigchk" or something like that (I should've paid more attention).
Even if you get that error, I believe that you can press power button to continue booting into CFW?
In any case, if you're using sigpatches, you'll need to grab the latest as your patches.ini file might be outdated.
If you're using latest sys-patch 1.5.4, you can remove sigpatches from your SD card (i.e. all the files that come with the ZIP archive) and in your hekate_ipl.ini you should remove all kip1patch=nosigchk lines.

Thanks. Isn't the file size limit a problem?
It's not. You don't have to move games to your SD card in order to install them. I personally use DBI to install games from my PC (via dbibackend) while Switch is connected to it via USB cable (and has a DBI opened and set to check for dbibackend). Works perfectly.

I tried this and it still didn’t work
