Like the title says, I'm about to wipe my sysMMC with TegraExplorer's system wipe script. I felt like playing online again after two years of running only on my emummc offline. However, I'm not sure if I might have accidentally installed an app from homebrew on the sysnand and quickly deleted it, so i'm wiping it.

However, there's a problem. One time I disabled AutoNoGC to play some cartridge games on emunand, and since my stock firmware is lower than my emunand the cartridge reader no longer works (burned fuses?). I'm worried that the big N might notice this when I try updating. Never touched Nintendo servers since I started hacking it, but I'm worried that it might when I try playing online again.

So, the question is, should I try updating the stock firmware before resetting? Or should I just reset the switch and then update the stock firmware using the legit method?

I would definitely reinstall stock OFW before the wipe, to make sure all the right fuses get burnt and bring your Switch up to speed/working order.

    @SylverReZ I read that non-binary people identify as a blend of male and female. The point is i think i'm a blend of those and thus non binary
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Non-binary people are those who don't identify themselves exclusively as male or female.

    @SylverReZ, and thus that would make me non binary since i feel like a blend of both male and female

    @AncientBoi I imagine it don't make the fart sound anymore, probably sounds more like letting go of a balloon you just blew up.
