Good Evening,
I am in possession of a 1.0.0 Nintendo Switch. I had originally played a few release titles on it and then packed it away for a rainy day...Well it's raining today! This Switch has NEVER been online, and I just factory reset it. I have a 128GB SD Card I used before that I believed I used guiformatter for exFAT so I could use exFAT on an older Firmware without updating.
I have been reading that there is now a way to make a NAND backup preserving my original 1.0.0 Firmware, along with updating firmware (should I use 5.1.0?) with ChoiDujournx. I also read about FUSE counts and making sure I don't let that become modified, because if I do, I won't be able to get back to 1.0.0.
I have purchased a Team Xecuter dongle and RCM jig for simplicity sake. I see now there is a lot of options, but this seems versatile. The idea of being able to use the Dongle instead of a phone or PC is which steered me this direction. I am however concerned that one of the threads I read stated using SXOS or the Dongle may change the FUSE count prohibiting me from downgrading back to 1.0.0...
What am I missing here? Of upmost concern to me is being able to preserve this original firmware, but allow me to play my newer game cards, or dump them to the SD Card and allow me to use Homebrew like RetroArch..
Any guidance on this specific issue is greatly appreciated.
