Method B — Merge update into XCI (create a patched XCI)
For users playing via XCI, simply having the file is often not enough; the update must be installed over the base game or "trimmed" into the XCI file to create a "master" version. Playing the unpatched XCI denies the user the critical fixes mentioned above. Conversely, the NSP format allows users to install the patch directly to the system memory or SD card. It is crucial to note that version 1.0.1 is currently the standard stable build for the Switch version. Ensuring the title keys and the update version align prevents compatibility errors and ensures the game launches correctly. Spyro Reignited Trilogy -NSP XCI Update 1.0.1-
