It's because of the encryption that isn't possible without dumping the seed first right?
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.

The DLC is in the update data which is stored on the SD card
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.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
