Is there a site that keeps an updated list of what the most current update is for each Switch game? Both forms!

Is there a site that keeps an updated list of what the most current update is for each Switch game that includes both the client side version number and its correlating internal version number of the update.

For instance:

Super Mario Odyssey is currently at (1.3.0) [v262144]
Super Smash Bros Ultimate is currently at (13.0.1) [v1769472]
Minecraft is currently at (1.20.41) [v5963776]



Something like nswdb, but for update info....


A previous thread had some recommendations that don't seem to be quite it.

https://github.com/16BitWonder/nx-versions/blob/master/FULL-CHANGELOG.md
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/blawar/titledb/master/versions.txt

These two seem to be keeping a good list of the internal version number, especially the first one, but with no easy way to see what game each title id actually is without checking another site or Googling it... But especially because they don't have the client side version number as well, and there is no definite way to derive it AFAIK (see below).

https://tinfoil.io/Title/

This one seems to be only keeping a more literal version number for each game... like v1 v2 v3 v4

Which reminds me of this related info:

I thought at first there was a direct way to derive the client side version number from the updates' internal version number without checking the game on a switch...

For instance, v65536 always being 1.0.1. There are games that are 1.0.2 and 1.1.1 and 1.1.0 that are all from a v131072 update. I'm assuming because each developer used a different numbering system for the second update (65536 times 2 is 131072). Which is likely why the tinfoil site just uses v1 v2 v3 v4 since the internal version number is always a multiple of 65536 (which is 256 squared)...

So Smash would be:

Super Smash Bros Ultimate is currently at (13.0.1) [v1769472] (1769472/65536) = v27. ... which would be why tinfoil just lists it as v27.

Anyway, because of that, even if that 16BitWonder list had an easy way to see what the GameID is, you still wouldn't know for sure the client side version number.

Note: You can easily see the client side version number for the game by hitting + on the icon for that game on the home screen.

Ok awesome, that site keeps a good list of the client side version number, and the Tinfoil link keeps a good list of the internal version number (still assuming I'm correct that dividing by 65536 always works, otherwise 16BitWonder + Google).

And luckily they both show the date of each update, so we can easily correlate the two if there is any question!

But anyway, yeah, as long as they both stay updated we can use:

Perfectly Nintendo for the client side version number.

and

Tinfoil for the internal version number.


But if anyone finds a site that lists both please post it. (Or perhaps someone affiliated with either of those sites reads this and they can star adding the missing form of the version number.)
