I've opted to have two consoles with one on fw 2.0 (for Atmosphere) and the 2nd one on fw 3.02 (for the TX dongle) and get best of both worlds.

kinda makes you wonder if Nintendo is behind all of this

well you kinda missed the point of my post. Until we get an XCI splitter (not trimmer) and SX OS supports split XCI files you won't be playing any of the larger games on it unless you update to current firmware.
I have a 64gb in my switch on 4.1.0. I'm good to go no wukin furries.kinda makes you wonder if Nintendo is behind all of this
I don't think you understand the issue at hand. Your 64gb sd is formatted to FAT32 (unless you had updated for exFAT support before 5.0 came out)
in which case you'll only be able to play backups under 4GB in size since that's the limit on FAT32.
Yes that's an option. But you may not have an easy method for installing Atmosphere when it comes out due to being on current firmware.
I understand perfectly well , lol your perception of my understanding is extremely flawed. I have the ExFat card running in my switch on 4.1.0 .lol jesus. Just popped in a 128GB for shits and giggles , guess what ? Confetti !.
I have no internet connection on my Switch, nor did I ever have (I never even set up Wifi for the reason it might nag me with updates or silently update itself). The only time I updated was when Breath of the wild demanded it, and I did so from the cart (from 3.0.2 to 4.1.0, figured I'm already past 3.0.0 so why bother). What would happen if I plugged in an exFAT formatted microSD?
I know. But still should be an option. "I'm already on 5.X so i haven't got much of a choice."
@comput3rus3r has news for you , its bad im afraid.
What do you mean by that? I'm under the impression 4.1.0 is a relatively good FW for atmosphere, at least much better than 5.x. I asked what would happen if the switch sensed an exFAT microSD while not being able to update itself, due to not having internet connection to download an update from.
You won't be able to use exFAT without updating. Maybe in the future after Atmosphere comes out it may become possible to change this.
Oh right atmosphere is fine no worries just don't hope for large XCI file support on Fat32 partitions that don't support larger than 4GB chunks . But sure you have no need for piracy with atmosphere god bless your good honest soul sir . I bid you good evening , now gimme all yer fucking money im a dirty pirate.
I specifically stated (unless you had updated for exFAT support before 5.0 came out) There's no misunderstanding.
Told ya ! @comput3rus3r , im i doing ok here ?

Good catch OP, lots to suck on in this post , those who have held off and resisted the urge to uber nerd and play around with the device and stick all types of chips into said devices and use they're "IT Skillz" to see what worx and does not worx. Getting the Exfat support early for most of us should be fine, the tinkerers ..
I missed TS stating it was mandatory - would they not patch exfat in FW ? to add as mentioned earlier all Grog and swill downloads come in separated Rar's for the most part game loaders can be configured to read roms still in compression binaries, it would also help the scene covers, nfo's and title id world a little to have unification, ahem, we cant be having no Parlay.

I'm buying it cause of multiple reasons, I'm glad I went physical this time but also it comes with the USB C adaptor, which will be useful for future Nintendo Switch exploits and also the RCM jig, I'm too lazy to make my own, plus I don't wanna damage the pins.
I'll post a review once i get mine.
I believe it is a good investment regardless of how you choose to use it.(this is not a review)
Way ahead of ya, my brotha. Lol grey joycon switch in my bedroom, red and blue in my sons room, and mario odyssey edition in the den

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."+2 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -
@
BigOnYa:
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.

@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:
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
