NSP vs XCI for updates

  • Update NSPs: commonly used for sideloading updates via tools like Tinfoil/Goldleaf/DBI; they install into the console’s system as update title entries.
  • Update XCIs: less common — XCI is a cart image and may include the base game with a bundled update; applying an update from an XCI requires dumping and installing the update content or using an installer that handles XCI update contents.
  • Practically, NSP is the preferred format for distributing standalone updates because installers directly install NSP update titles.
