Remove update notifications for games

Feature description

Goldleaf has an option to reset the required launch version for games, this only resets the required launch version though. The system remains aware that there is a newer version of the software available and you still get a popup suggesting you to update the software. People are complaining about this all the time and every time people keep erroneously telling them to use Goldleaf to remove the nag, which it doesn't actually do.

Benefits

It would remove update nags for games entirely, which I'd argue would be the preferred behavior

Additional information

There is required version list at 8000000000000045, and Goldleaf already handles that. Resetting the version there allows you to bypass the requirement to update before launching the software, but otherwise you still get a popup every time asking you to update. Version number needs to be reset in save ID 8000000000000180 as well so the system won't be aware of a newer update version at all anymore.

Anyway, if you do a system format, the version list savegames get wiped completely clean and the Switch forgets everything about game updates. Those blank savegames can be imported into an existing emmc to wipe the record clean without having to format.

versionlist.zip

These are fresh version list save data, from a reformat. Make a backup of your own savedata before overwriting, in case importing someone else's save data doesn't work. Note that HOS will fail to boot if those are deleted, it won't just regenerate clean ones like the 3DS does.

I see, but using exposed commands I'm not sure if this is even possible, and it generally is a bad idea to try mounting system saves (assuming it's possible and it isn't already mounted by the process using it)
