To understand the “patched NSP,” one must first understand what an NSP is. NSP stands for "Nintendo Submission Package," the digital format used for games downloaded directly from the Nintendo eShop. When a user purchases and downloads Smash Bros. Ultimate legitimately, their Switch receives an encrypted NSP file that is tied to both the console’s unique keys and the user’s Nintendo account. A “clean” or “base” NSP is a direct, unaltered rip of that file. However, a “patched” NSP is one that has been modified after extraction. This modification is almost always designed to bypass Nintendo’s signature checks, allowing the game to run on a “custom firmware” (CFW) enabled Switch—a console that has been hacked to allow unsigned code. In essence, the patch removes the requirement that the console verify the game’s digital signature with Nintendo’s servers. Show the splash screen
