Hacking Question Should i update my Switch?

[Hib0]

Hi!
My switch is currently running firmware 4.1.0 and my SX PRO Is coming this week. Is it best that i stay on lower firmware, or should i just update to the latest version because the SX OS/PRO works with all firmware versions?

You can update without burning fuses.

Update without burning fuses then downgrade when Atomsphere drops.

And how do i do that exactly? Can't i just update my switch the normal way through system settings?

The Switch uses efuses which prevents downgrades, so if a new exploit comes along you wont be able to downgrade back to 4.1 with ofw.

The unofficial method prevents fuses being burned so you would be able to downgrade with ofw.

Yeah, i know that. I'm just wondering what's the diffrence between not burning fuses and just updating the normal way.

Differences are:
*more complicated
*maybe nintendo can check fuses

Right? F*** him for not knowing how a piece of hardware that he's not even got yet works.

Differences are:
*no exfat driver(extra tutorial)

The firmware generated through the tutorial has the exfat driver by default.
