Geniuses GBAT, has anyone figured out the easiest method for tracking the latest game updates?

Did a search and it came up with no results.

Just wondering how people with lots of games keep track of the latest updates for their games?

I have a 1Tb sd card almost full, so alot! :D

Daaaaang! hahaha!

Do you keep like a spreadsheet of all your installed games, their version numbers, and then manually compare each one to the website like every so often to make sure they're up to date?

It would be cool if there was an app in the HB Store that scanned all of your installed apps and let you know which ones need to be updated.

Also, out of curiosity, how many games can fit on a 1 TB micro SD? That is a gargantuan amount of storage!

No I don't update them very often, mostly just the games I play alot. I'm not gonna count them but it's plenty. Average size of Switch game is 10gb, so that's 100 games.

This works w/ no updates since 2021? crazy
Good point! How does it work if it's never updated?

A small console application that checks a Switch's installed contents against a provided version list for newer/missing updates/DLC, and then writes the titles with newer/missing updates/DLC and the latest version to sdmc:/Available-Updates.txt.

Someone has to update that list right?

So how do we know what most of those are? I was only able to locate info on 2nd and 3rd items in the "Added" list. No results for the other 8 entries on any title id site I searched on.

You run this homebrew on your Switch and it will list the updates with Names. This is just the github it uses for the info.

When you use updatechecker, if the game is installed on your switch it'll tell you what you need to update, otherwise don't worry about it

Already aware of Update Checker. Is there any title id site I may be missing that may be more updated than the Switchbrew list or GameTDB? Saying it doesn't matter does not answer the question. :)
