Hey guys,
I'm getting my OLED Mod Chipped next week and I have 2 very important questions that I cant find an answer for anywhere online.

Once the chip is installed by a professional. Should I be concerned about updating the chip firmware later on? And If I do, can it be done through Hekate or should I have to tear open my console and update the chip manually?

Second: I intend to dual boot my console. Having my SYSNAND clean and my emmunand run CFW. Can I update my sysnand normally through Nintendo Update tab ? do I have to worry about it bricking my chip or anything like that ?

You don't need to update the chip firmware if it working fine, update via Nintendo server for Sysnand online play, and daybreak for emunand.

Hypothetically speaking, if I need to, whats the process like, possible through Hekate or I need to hardflash the chip itself ?
Just making sure Im thinking 10 steps ahead and fully understand everything I possibly can before getting mod chipped.

Are you sure updating the sysnand firmware wont messing with the chip's training or anything?

Don't think there is newer firmware than what come with pre flash already. No updating via Nintendo server won't affect chip glitching if you are using sysnand for online play. You should get a V6 black.

I almost bought the white one because everybody bought it but I bought the black because of aesthetics that nobody will ever see.. I'm glad I made that decision.

Im told that version is a newer iteration?

Just that people have problem soldering the ground point on the white one, with some people chip not working. The black is just a revision to fix that problem.

Good to know, should be easier on my soldering dude. Is there any way to find out what NAND is on my switch before it gets opened. I'm just hoping a samsung instead of SK HYNIX

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
