Install the patch in Atmosphere (NSP)

Warning!

The NSP distributed by Tsukihimates may be installed directly onto a homebrew-capable switch as an update package. However, please note that you install this software on your switch at your own risk. Tsukihimates cannot be held liable for any damage or inconvenience caused by installing unsigned software on a Nintendo product. The end user is responsible for taking any necessary precautions to ensure they do not damage their hardware or receive a ban.

If you are unsure, do not proceed.

To install the patch, you must first have an installed legal copy of the base game, either from the EShop or a physical game cartridge. Once you have done that, copy the NSP patch onto the SD card of your switch using a card reader or homebrew tool capable of USB transfer. Next, using an NSP installer of your choosing, locate the patch and install as you would any other software:

Select Update — Locate the patch .nsp in your installer's file browser

Apply Update — Install the patch. Note that this patch replaces any official patch.

Once the patch has been installed, opening the game should present you with an updated title logo, and the patch version code should be visible in the lower-right corner of the title screen.

Install the patch in Atmosphere (LayeredFS)

Warning!

Please note that you install this software on your switch at your own risk. Tsukihimates cannot be held liable for any damage or inconvenience caused by installing unsigned software on a Nintendo product. The end user is responsible for taking any necessary precautions to ensure they do not damage their hardware or receive a ban.

If you are unsure, do not proceed.

Some people may prefer to use LayeredFS to minimize risk. We do not and will not distribute a full layeredfs patch for the game, as it would require distributing entire game resource files, rather than merely patches against those files. However, it is possible to generate your own LayeredFS patch using your copy of the base game.
In order to generate a LayeredFS patch from the provided NSP, you will require:

This script from our Github repo
A copy of hactool
The official 1.0.2 update already installed on your switch
A dumped copy of the base game NSP from your switch
A dumped copy of the keys from your switch
50GiB of free space on your computer
20GiB of free space on your switch

To begin, place the script, hactool binary, both NSPs, and your prod.keys files in a directory. Then, open a terminal, navigate to that directory, and invoke the script:


    $ cd ~/layered
    $ ./generate_layeredfs_patch.py
    Found hactool: /usr/local/bin/hactool
    Guessing switch keys are in ~/layered/prod.keys
    Guessing base NSP is ~/layered/Tsukihime.nsp
    Guessing patch NSP is ~/layered/tsukihimates_patch_2022.08.25.d35638cc.nsp
    Do the above values look correct (Y/n)?

If the detected values seem correct, hit enter to begin the generation process. If any of the values are incorrect, they can be specified manually. Run ./generate_layeredfs_patch.py --help for more information.
If the patch generates successfully, there will be an atmosphere/ folder in the current directory. Delete any mods you have already have for this game, and then copy this entire folder across to the root of your switch's SD card, merging and replacing files when prompted.
Once the patch has been installed, opening the game should present you with an updated title logo, and the patch version code should be visible in the lower-right corner of the title screen.
