Hello my friends,
It's been a couple of months since I have been last active here.
I recently purchased a v2 switch for my nephew and I also ordered the hwfly.

I have read here that you only need to update the firmware of the hwfly if a computer recognizes it as a USB stick.

Since I have been gone for some time I wanted to ask you guys what the most stable cfw is right now and if I should update the switch to the latest firmware.

Is there anything I have to take notice of before I solder the hwfly in?

Thank you!

For a fresh install, go with the latest switch firmware. It will give you the longest time before you have a reason to need to update again. The latest atmosphere and hekate are compatible with the latest switch firmware revision.

I always stay one version behind. As a general rule, the latest version often has compatibility issues, so it's safest to stay one version behind, and it's still compatible with all games.

Depend on your comfort level on soldering, if you can't solder, hire someone to solder for you.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
