i need a refresher on hacked switches with sys- and emummc when it comes to the gamecard slot.

there's options to disable the card slot like nogc = 0 and autonogc=0

but what exactly was the point of that actually? i vaguely remember the gameslot could stop working when you tried to downgrade firmwares, but since waiting for a secret hack on low firmwares isn't really a thing anymore, you'd eventually wanna update the switch firmware like normal and everything works again, right?
i guess it could be an issue if sys and emunand aren't on the same firmware, but i also dont see a reason why you shouldn't update both when needed, since compatibility with atmo happens super fast these days too

is there anything I'm missing that i need to be aware of here?

emummc wasnt really a thing when i hacked my first switch, so i never used it before, but I've seen people be squeamish about using their original game carts in emummc. is there anything to be concerned about in regards to that?

Atmosphere was never running, I just saw the atmosphere splashscreen for a blink, and the screen went black.

I'm considering buying a Switch Lite and getting it modded. It costs around 90 euros. What are some of the things I should watch out for?

Is there some way to block update message before starting a game?

I have exosphere, isn't that enough? And actually, some games prompt update while another don't...

Not for the updates that the system currently know it is available, did you set up exosphere after the switch notice the games update?

I setup exosphere before installing anything in my emuMMC. I guess the firmware has a list of the current patch for every game, or not?

It does but only thing made sense is that your exosphere wasn't set up correctly for it to block games update notification.

No, prod.keys is a generic key file full of keys that are shared across all Nintendo Switch consoles. What you need is PRODINFO which is full of console specific information such as the certificate used to grant access to Nintendo's online servers.

I've found this XAW....._PRODINFO.bin & XAW....._BISKEYS.bin files (real serial number) inside the atmosphere auto backup folder. Are they useful? If so, how can I retrieve the serial number back into the console?
Thanks.

Update: I tried the Incognito_RCM. Renamed the file and put it into the SD, but the app errors out "failed to read the file"

What file exactly did you rename and where on the SD card did you put it?

Brand new to the forum, sorry if this belongs somewhere else!
I've recently been thinking about purchasing a v1 switch to softmod, and I have some questions I haven't been able to get clear answers for when reading other threads beforehand.

- What specific guide should I be following? I found multiple suggested and linked here.
- Can I run backups/homebrew on an emunand safely if I keep my sysnand 100% clean? (No cfw/homebrew/etc)
- Would it be best to run sysnand and emunand on separate microSD cards?

• You should follow this guide. Not only was it the first guide ever released but its been updated regularly as the scene progressed
• All bans occur due to going online with CFW/homebrew. If you never go online after using either, then you will not be banned
• This question doesn't make sense. emuMMC can only exist on the SD card while sysMMC can never exist on the SD card; sysMMC is your literal physical console. It cannot run anywhere else but on itself

• Is there a place where I can buy one of the 3D printed jigs mentioned in the guide? I do not feel confident in making my own, and I do not own a 3D printer.
• So if I keep my sysnand entirely clean and only use cfw/backups/homebrew on the emunand I can play online without the risk of a ban?
• Sorry, I had seen something along those lines mentioned in another thread I had read which confused me.

Thank you @Hayato213, one last question. If I modify a save file and put it on a modded switch. Is it possible to move that save file to an unmoved switch? Or would I get a ban?

There is this guide but you either need a unpatched unit or modded unit that has a clean NAND.
