Hacking Question Can I play online with legit games on Stock/Original Firmware (and use my current online data)?

------------------ a bit of backstory --------------

With all this time in quarantine, playing Minecraft all day for weeks on end is driving me a bit insane. So I decided to do something fun and worthwhile for when I go back to school.


I've had a 3ds since I was about 6-8 (Can't exactly remember) but it was the console of my life (dis including the Wii U, but that was at home only.)
I attempted to homebrew my 3ds, but the camera was broken so no NinjHax. I got Homebrew installed, but I couldn't get CFW installed due to TWLFix not fixing my DSi mode being broken for years.

After debating on buying a New 3DS XL, I just installed Luma CFW on my brothers 3ds. This was a great idea since I knew what o3ds can do vs n3ds when hacked.
Micro Center where I live was having a promo for free 16GB SDcards/Flash Drives so I picked up a 16gb MicroSD.

I was planning on homebrewing my Wii U but I have no extra SD cards.


So that left me with one other option.. My switch. (There's no fucking way i'm going through the hassle of modding my Wii or Gamecube, outdated and not worth it imo)

-----------------------------------------------------------

I have a unpatched Switch (Splatoon Bundle from Walmart, pre-ordered as soon as it was available, huge Splatoon Sweat/Nerd at the time).
I've played alot of Minecraft, Splatoon, and Super Mario Odyssey online. I've heard about this emuNAND thing.

Is it possible I can play online with this "emuNAND" without losing any of my online data/online stats and still have CFW installed?


Thanks to anyone and everyone in advance.

You can go online on your OFW with your legit owned games and then do your dirty buisness on your CFW using emuNAND so long as you keep it offline. No data lose whatsoever.

Yes. What you do using emuNAND doesn't affect your OFW in the slightest.

Thank you so much . Do you have any links to an updated switch hacking guide by the chance? Many I look up are severely outdated.
