I see a number of you YouTubers making videos on how to install HBL, but I've yet to notice one mentioning backing up the NAND. I see links in the descriptions to GBAtemp, from time to time, too. Sounds like an important step to leave out.

Well, making a backup is common sense/knowledge for most people, so it's not really that absurd to not include that information.

Either way, Hekate can do you nand backup, as well as linux.

It's because it's unneeded. There's almost no way to softbrick your Switch.

I mean, it would be "nice" if youtubers made a comment about NAND backups before their tutorials but at the end of the day is not their responsability. We are the ones that are modding our consoles and should know what that comes with.

If you need to be reminded about making a backup everytime, then you probably shouldnt do anything to your console.

    Yea but to play the next gen games, you must have those games on internal, or buy the official ssd expansion cards, which are expensive
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @MysticStarlight, dunno what each one of those are

    @MysticStarlight, my PS3 was already modded when my dad bought it for me and my brother
  • MysticStarlight @ MysticStarlight:
    A surge protector is a device that protects your electronics from fluctuations. I recommend having your console plugged into one of those
  • MysticStarlight @ MysticStarlight:
    An UPS is even better because it has an internal battery that keeps your system on even if the power goes out, but it's much more expensive obviously
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @MysticStarlight, oh i recall seeing one in some in the houses of some relatives, including my dad's apartment
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @MysticStarlight, although whatever device we plug into them stops getting power anyways lol

    On the series s/x you can use a external HD but any next gen games must be on your internal ssd, or you can buy a ssd expansion card, but pricey. Any xbone, 360, or og Xbox games can be played from external tho.
