How to Apply Update 13.0.2 (For Legitimate CFW Users)

Assuming you have a hacked Nintendo Switch running Atmosphere and have legally dumped your own cartridge or eShop title.

If you are installing an update file (NSP) for version 13.0.2, follow these steps:

1. Verify Base Game: Ensure Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (Base NSP/XCI) is already installed on your Switch.
2. Download the Update NSP: Locate the file [01006A800016E800][v196608][US].nsp (Note: 196608 is the title version decimal code for 13.0.2).
3. Use an Installer: Boot your Switch into CFW. Use a title installer like Tinfoil or DBI.
4. Install via USB or SD Card: Drop the NSP into the install folder on your SD card or connect via USB to install.
5. Apply the Patch: Once installed, the game version on your home screen will change to 13.0.2. Crucially: You must also have the latest Signature Patches (Atmosphere sigpatches) installed; otherwise, the game will ask you to verify the software.

4. Handling the Installation Prompt

• The installer will ask if you want to install the NSP.
• Crucial Step: If you are installing an update for a game that is already on your system, the installer may ask to "Reset the version requirement" or simply install over the existing game.
  • Select Install.
  • When asked where to install, choose NAND (System Memory) or SD Card (depending on where your base game is installed).

Why "Free" is a Legal Red Flag

Search engines flag the term "free" combined with "NSP" immediately. Here is the reality:

• If you own a legal copy: You do not need a "free" NSP. Your official Switch console will download 13.0.2 automatically via Nintendo’s servers when connected to the internet.
• If you are using an emulator (Yuzu/Ryujinx): Emulators require decrypted or legally dumped keys. While emulation itself exists in a grey area, downloading pre-packaged NSPs from torrent sites is illegal.
• If you have a modded Switch (Atmosphere/CFW): This is the only scenario where manually installing an NSP update is standard practice. However, the "free" file is almost always ripped from a legitimate source.
