How to Install Updates

If you have an update in NCA format, click, then Install file to NAND…, select your updated NCA, and then in the drop-down box choose Game Update. If you get an error, double-check your encryption keys and dump.
If you have updates installed on your NAND or SD card, you can copy the entire NAND into %YUZU_DIR%/nand/user or the entire sd card to %YUZU_DIR%/sdmc.
If your update is in NSP format, use the File > Install File method described above for NCA, except the Game Update the menu won’t show (yuzu can infer it from the NSP metadata)

Update Yuzu Games

If your update was installed successfully, next to all games that match the title ID of the update, a message would show in the add-ons column of the game list.
- If you installed just an updated NCA, it will probably only say Update.
- If you copied your NAND or SD or used an NSP update, it will probably say Update vX.Y.Z where X, Y, and Z numbers. Don’t be alarmed if the numbers don’t match what the game says the version is, the version in the game list is the version as determined by Nintendo’s servers, and the one in the game is independent.
Updates do not apply to deconstructed ROM directories (folders with main, main.npdm, game.romfs, etc). This is because the roofs cannot be guaranteed to be the base game, and patching anything else will result in strange bugs and crashes. If you can ensure that your roof is the base game, skip to the Repacking to NSP section to force yuzu to patch it.

Go to %YUZU_DIR%/nand/user/yuzu_meta. Find the file called Patch_<>.cnmt where <> is the title ID of the update. Open this file in a hex editor. Edit the four bytes starting at offset 0x8 to the version you want. This is a LE u32 value. To remove this custom version, make the value 0.
