I tried downgrading my cart by deleting the game and then booting it without internet but it required an update. Do I have to factory reset my switch for it to work? If not how can I downgrade my cart and play it?

boot to recovery (vol up, vol down) and then reboot back
So I won't have to factory reset? Awesome. But what do I have to do before I boot recovery? Just delete the game and save data? Also to get out of recovery mode you just reboot normally?

If you are using firmware 5.x or below, DevMenu's ResetRequiredVersion can allow you to run a lower game version again after having ran/installed a higher game version/update.

Since the Switch remembers it ran a higher game version, it won't let you run the lower unupdated game version.

Not sure what you can do for firmware 6.x though, since DevMenu no longer works. Factory restore should work, I guess. Maybe just backup your saves using Checkpoint.

    @BakerMan, Any idea what happened? I hope that your brother's doing good.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    He couldn't eat until after his MRI, when he had a bomb pop.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    What matters now is that he's doing alright.
