Would you burn your fuses?

[Hayato213]

Two emummc? I would just use autorcm to maintain my fuses if need be, this is even more work than just using autorcm.

He/She meant 2 emunand partitions.

Yeah, that's more work than just using autorcm. Best solution is either to use autorcm or burn the fuses.

In your case Trinket M0 is the best solution when it come to no dongle or computer, you can still preserve the fuses.

But what is the use of preserving fuses? Just for a small chance that cold boot becomes available one day?

For some people it is being able to go back to lower firmware, some people have nand back up of really low firmware like firmware 1.0.0, 2.0.0-2.3.0, 3.0.0 etc. Now a day for a collector a 1.0.0 firmware switch might be worth like $700 bucks.

So my three options are 1.semi-bricking my switch(auto RCM does this by corrupting a byte of BOOT so it launches into RCM) 2. Opening up my switch in order to solder a peripheral onto it 3. Burning my fuses, switch works normally, and boot to emunand for backups using a jig with a dongle. Is my assessment correct?

If you don't like payload dongle, or computer than modchip is your route, with a trinket along with autorcm and autoboot you tell the switch to boot into specific payload.

I am leaning towards burning my fuses.

Edit: I am not seeing any 1.0.0 switches for 700$. Is this a one time thing or does it consistently go for 700$?

 

[Esdeath]

I just chose "no" because it would be an extra step that isn't required.

unpatched v1 switch brand new are like $600, which firmware 1.0.0 unit goes for more money.

There may be a cold boot solution. SciresM said there was 0 chance unless a first wave game had an exploit found. Well that bug that affects games back to Wii was found. I asked if that would do it and they said maybe. Idk since what happened but it may happen.

That said i burnt my fuses a couple weeks ago. I had dual emunands clean for online, dirty for hacks. It occurred to me that if my SD dies i won't be able to go onlineagain, unless i backup everytime. So i transferred my clean emunand to sysnand. It's better. I don't use CFW much anyway.

Mine isn't brand new. How much does a used one usually go for?

V1 unpatched tablet around 200ish on ebay.

Mine would still be unpatched. Only thing I would lose is the ability to downgrade.

This way you can:

- turn your Switch off
- don't need to inject payloads
- play online

I think it's worth the extra work.

It isn't worth it to me. Seems like people are pretty split on this issue.

 

[swutch]

I burn my fuses because why not.
Can still use old backups if i boot through hekate.

And cold boot is already possible with a mod chip.

 

[josete2k]

I used to prevent my fuses from burning but since emummc is a thing and you can install a chip on the switch being able to dual boot to play online stuff like splatoon and then switch to emummc to play homebrew is the best so I stopped caring about fuses. No real benefit on keeping them without burning except to restore to a previous version but I really don't see the need to.

You can play online with an emummc...

Not a good idea if you have installed NSPs

 

[Blakejansen]

I think they have 2 emunands. One for installed NSPs and one that is totally clean. Just seems a bit redundant to have two emunands if you ask me. Might as well either autorcm or burn the fuses.
