I've never had a Switch before, and was able to buy one yesterday. (Last one in stock!) The only thing I've done with it has been initial set up (manually) and making a Mii for myself and a sibling. It's never been online and I haven't run a single game on it yet.
I'm trying to figure out the process for modding the system, if I'll be able to do it on mine or not. I looked at the Serial Number thread, and it says my system is patched. I also looked at a guide on modding, and it says something about using a process called "Caffeine" for patched systems, assuming I'm on a specific firmware.
Is the guide talking about the same patch as the Serial Number thread? The thread claims that there is absolutely no way to mod a patched Switch, but the guide is going on as though as long as the firmware is correct, it's guaranteed to work. I'm a bit confused at the seemingly-contradictory information between the two, and there doesn't seem to be an obvious starting point on trying to figure out all this information. It's a lot different than when I soft-modded my New 3DS.
