Can I get a rundown on the problems with FW 6.00? I hear a lot of mentions about it. I haven't hacked my switch yet but have ordered SXOS. I honestly just want to be able to play XCI and NSP files and maybe install some emulators.
What do you mean Ipatched. Im considering hacking my switch with a R4 Dongle in the near future. Im on 6.00 ofw.Well let's see...AutoRCM is broken, certain games aren't working, wake up from sleep is broken, certain games freeze when you wake up from sleep and i think that's about it. But like @Sinon said you have to make sure your console is not Ipatched, something you should have done before ordering the SX
Check your console's serial number against the ones mentioned in this thread https://gbatemp.net/threads/90dns-dns-server-for-blocking-all-nintendo-servers.516234/ to see if yours is patched or notWhat do you mean Ipatched.

i'm pretty sure yes.Ok, 1st- are you sure you have an unpatched unit?
I did check my serial number. didn't know autoRCM is broken, that sounds like a pretty major hassle if you have to go into it to boot the CFW every time. and can't abuse sleep mode. certain games aren't working too? any examples?Well let's see...AutoRCM is broken, certain games aren't working, wake up from sleep is broken, certain games freeze when you wake up from sleep and i think that's about it.

SX OS 1.9 works flawlessly on firmware 6.0, pirating games or not, so far all the homebrew applications I've used have worked, which has been a pleasant surprise. No RCM issues, no broken sleep mode, it works fine. Open source CFWs should be fine if you get the right files as well.
I plan on using 1.9, heard of lots of issues with 2.0 right now and the fake emunand seems really sketchy.SX OS 1.9 works flawlessly on firmware 6.0, pirating games or not, so far all the homebrew applications I've used have worked, which has been a pleasant surprise.

I thought it was 2.0 that had issues with those games like doom. i'm not asking about SXOS firmware, I know 2.0 is jank i'm talking about the switch version 6.0. All i heard before this was that something called gameloader or something doesn't work on 6.0 (some program nintendo can detect and ban you for)The games people say don't work at all are Doom, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and The Messenger. Games that freeze with sleep mode include Mario Odyssey and one other i forget. But the strangest thing is that some people report no problems whatsoever and others report all these issues,which they then fix by downgrading their SX OS version back to 1.9

Yes, yours is safe. In the future refer to this thread to check serials https://gbatemp.net/threads/switch-informations-by-serial-number.481215/Just to double check my serial number is XAW1003965****
this is safe yeah?
That's what I was doing, just asking for a second opinion to make sure i'm reading the thread right.Yes, yours is safe. In the future refer to this thread to check serials https://gbatemp.net/threads/switch-informations-by-serial-number.481215/
can you tell me about some good mods/plugins for the switch? is there an overclocking one or something like on the vita?Ok, FW 6.0 is working well, like i have no problems running things like XCI or NSP games, sleep mode works to, you can even add themes and mods via layeredSF, backup saves, use emulators and use AutoRCM like always, what fucks things up is SX OS 2.0, use the latest version of Hekate and SDFiles and you'll be fine, i promise.
