This issue has been killing me for days, so I decided I'd come here as I've seen some stuff similar to it, but never been able to get it to work myself.
I'm a Splatoon speedrunner, and one of the things I need is to keep my physical Japanese copy on version 1.0.0 as that's the optimal version of the game.

Now, my problem is that whenever I launch the game, it begins to install the latest version of the game, which I obviously can't have. I've had to change the versions.bin (setting the version back to 00 00 and deleting update data) multiple times to revert back to the original version, and I never launch the game while connected to Nintendo servers, yet somehow it receives 2.12.1.

I also disabled the RCE patch for Splatoon that comes with Pretendo, as that's something I also have used in the past.

The only thing I can think of that could be happening is the Wii U is somehow finding the update data from my digital copy and somehow updating it from there, but I'm not sure if that's possible.

tl;dr: Is there a way to completely block a game from receiving updates altogether?

Somewhere on the forum a thread said you can "cheat" the game to think it has the latest version by modifying game version files using FTP plugin, search for it.

Yes, I’ve actually had to edit this file numerous times to downgrade the game after updates—but every time after I edit it, it always starts preparing an update when I try to launch the game.

I think you could block game updates by deleting usr/save/packages on the mlc
Has anyone else done that before? This is the first I've heard of this and I really don't want to do anything that could brick my Wii U.

Update: I managed to get this figured out. It turns out I had to change the update version to 00 00 AND completely blank out the update in the file. Should be good now! (Hopefully.)
