So to start off Hi I'm Desu I'm brand new to the forums. I am very interested in all the work you guys do and decided upon myself to buy and rcm jig and dive headfirst into this world.
I followed a guide on backing up my sysNAND (thank god) loaded up atmosphere and immediately went for a very specific application that I am not fully aware or not if I can talk about. I tried to load said program and it failed so being the idiot noob that I am (did I mention I used to hack psp's back in the day wow not the same at all) I figured with my massive brain "ah I have 11.0.0 It must be that it is incompatible with this fw and I need the next step down"
Yeah this is where it gets good, I immediately use Daybreak to lower the fw on my switch to 10.2.0 thinking this is the answer. The launch fails and I get error codes. Well silly me if i would've done more REASEARCH I wouldve known I needed to he in autoRCM mode through heckate. I knew that doing this unsafely has caused me to burn "fuses" I quotate that because being a noob I am still unaware exactly how they work. I knew one thing for sure though..that I made a stupid mistake right out the gate. I panicked I didn't know what I just did but I knew that I needed a specific number of fuses burnt to go back to my backup file.
It was 14 fuses burnt so I was able to revert to 11.0.0 and copied my OG files back and am now insanely scared of coming back to this, however I feel I could do some really fun things with the cfw. I love my switch I backed everything up and used 90dns to protect myself because I can't lose online I would be devestated.
What I am asking is can someone please help me understand how fuses work? If I burn them should I cut my losses and make my current switch into an emulator box and buy a new one? Does this mean if I ever update to newer ofw will I have to boot with Heckate forever? I'm scared because I'm ignorant but I so badly want to learn.
Thanks everyone please be kind
