Skylanders: Imaginators on Switch – Getting NSP & XCI Updates to Work
original hardware
Are you trying to get this working on or an emulator ?
- The Issue: On the Nintendo Switch version, the Crash Bandicoot level data is often tied to the Day 1 Patch. However, many XCi/NSP dumps circulating online are the "Cartridge Version 1.0," which does not include the Crash content.
- The Solution: You must ensure your game version is at least v262144 (1.0.1) or higher. Even then, accessing the Crash level sometimes requires the Sensei figure to unlock the portal gate, rather than just having the data installed.
- Digital vs. Cartridge: The eShop version (NSP) typically includes the Crash data more reliably than the cartridge dump (XCI).
4. Problem: Update won’t install (Error 0x291)
