I'm not sure what you mean, but even if you were able to patch the update somehow, the non-hacked Switch would not accept it/ install it without all the correct files and hash checks in place.
Yes, encrypted and digitally signed. Repacking means screwing digital sign which will result in refusing to launch it. And without getting private key from Nintendo itself you won't be able to do anything about it.
Trying to modify an .nsp to reduce it's size. I managed to do so for the base game. Problem is with the update.
How to deal with it ? When I apply the update to my modified nsp it crashes. Still I want to remove some useless files in the update tho.
If I extract the update .nca with hactool (having base game .nca around) it seems to extract the whole game and not only update files.
Should I use those files, repack this folder and treat it as main game ? (Repacking with the small .nca from the update only).
I hope my explanation make sense.

hey if you dont mind me asking what are you using to repack the files, I cant seem to find something that works

yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -

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

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?

@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

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

@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!

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:
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 just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway

@
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 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)
