Hi! I just started modding my old Switch after upgrading to an OLED. I'm wanting to mod BoTW, but I'm having some trouble. I've been trying to follow guides, but nothing is up to date. I have a physical cartridge and am on firmware version 17.0.01. I'm at a point where I'm trying to specify the base game+update directory, but I've tried so many things for hours with no progress. Is there a way to *actually* combine the game and update files? I know there's SAK, but I couldn't figure out how to open it and couldn't find a guide. Do the game files need to be romfs or the folder that contains the romfs folder? I'm not sure what to do, and I hope my questions are understandable. Thank you in advance!
I need some help with modding BoTW using BCML.

So first off you'll dump all of your contents for BotW (Base, Update and DLC).
If your base game has been split into multiple files then run this command in CMD copy /b 01+02+03 yourfilename.nsp
Don't combine the Update to the base game or the DLC.
Then you'll need to set up your Switch emulator of choice, I used Yuzu for this and get BotW to show up in the directory. You should then be able to right click the game and extract the 'romfs' which is you want for BCML, get the emulator to extract everything and when it's done, you should have three folders in a romfs folder named "base", "update" and "DLC".
Then you can finish setting up the directories in BCML.
Sorry for being so vague with descriptions on Yuzu, it has been a while since I set this up myself, it should be pretty easy though.

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1 -

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite+1

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+2 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -

BigOnYa:
Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
