Ver. 1.0.2.If you have a modded Nintendo Switch (running Atmosphere or SX OS) and a legal backup of your game, here is the standard workflow for the WITCH ON THE HOLY NIGHT -NSP--Update 1.0.2-.rar file:
Crucial Note: Do not simply rename the .rar file to .nsp. This is a common mistake. The NSP is inside the RAR archive.
To update Witch on the Holy Night to version 1.0.2 using an NSP file, you will need to extract the update from your archive and install it using a homebrew installer on your Nintendo Switch. 1. Extract the Update File
Since your file is in a .rar format, you must first extract it on your PC using software like WinRAR or 7-Zip.
Locate the .nsp: After extracting, you should see a file ending in .nsp. This is the actual update package. 2. Choose an Installation Method WITCH ON THE HOLY NIGHT -NSP--Update 1.0.2-.rar
You can install this update either by moving it to your SD card or by installing it directly from your PC via USB. Method A: SD Card Installation (Simplest)
Transfer to SD: Insert your Switch SD card into your PC and copy the .nsp file into a folder (e.g., a folder named /nsp/).
Launch Homebrew: Put the SD card back in your Switch and enter the Homebrew menu (usually by holding R while launching a game). Open Installer: Use an app like Goldleaf, DBI, or Tinfoil.
Install: Navigate to your /nsp/ folder, select the 1.0.2 update file, and choose Install. Method B: USB Installation (Faster for large files)

Ensure you have the latest version of WinRAR or 7-Zip (version 19.00 or later). If the archive is password-protected and not listed, check the source’s release notes for a common password (often 1 or switch). Also, verify your download’s MD5 hash if provided.
Before diving into the technicalities of the NSP update, let’s appreciate the source material. Witch on the Holy Night is a prequel to the wider Nasuverse (the universe containing Tsukihime and Fate/stay night). Set in 1980s Japan, it follows Aoko Aozaki—a teenage magician-in-training—and Alice Kuonji, a reclusive witch, as their quiet lives are disrupted by a rival mage.
