Luckily with the modified tool I have I will just need the updated effect data xml and I can just compare changes in the PC version of the tool to make sure everything still works. The big update with playable Supreme Kai of Time Chronoa and CaCs getting UI Goku's skills (not the transformation unfortunately) is coming on Wednesday so these mods will have to be updated. Just expect trial and error until enough people actually care about modding the Switch version to make porting mods from the PC version possible. I don't know what has to be ported and what doesn't and what will crash the game or glitch when you load it or what doesn't. I haven't tested premade mods with this due to that uncertainty as well. However, depending on the game file differences between the Switch version and the PC version, this method can probably get other mods working. I have only ever tested super soul mods I made myself with this. Then you just place the modified data2.cpk in /atmosphere/content/010078D000F8800/romfs/ and then start the game and it should load the mods no problem. This may take awhile depending on your computer, but if you have a computer from this decade it should barely take like 5 minutes. Then I hit 'save CPK file' and CPK browser repacks the same exact CPK file but with the modified game files replacing their original game file counterparts.

Then I simply opened the data2.cpk in CPK browser again and set the files to replace with the modified ones I made I made a custom super soul with that and made sure I had the newest 'show up in item shop' values set so it would actually show up in the game. Open data2.cpk in CPK browser and dump whatever specific files you want to mod based on whatever modding tools you're going to use from the PC version (not everything is guaranteed to work since a lot of the Switch version files are slightly different than the PC version files and have different offsets)įor example, I have a special version of the Super Soul editing tool that was recoded to work with the Switch version (and it's not updated to match the PC version however using the latest Effectsdata.xml from the PC version works just fine). Go to romfs options -> set options to make sure it's reading the romfs with the update for Xenoverse 2

Extract data2.cpk using NXDumpTool (make sure you dump all your console keys with Lockpick-RCM payload first so you can properly access the updated romfs data). Make sure you have around 2 gigabytes of free space on your SD card. Apparently all I was missing was the proper value for the shop flags so the custom super soul I made with a special version of the super soul editor shows up in the shop.
