I got my switch this week, so I'm very new to this. I would like to know if it's safe to play online with a cfw as long as the game is an original copy from eshop.
If on Windows do you find an APX Device in your Device Manager?@Draxzelex Thank you .
Two other questions :
- I am trying to boot into RCM using a jig in the right controller tray, and pressing Volume+/Power. Screen stay black, no Nintendo logo, as it should. When I connect to the computer, Hekate dosen't reorganize my device. I tried a few time by removing and reinserting the jig, but still nothing. How can I get the console to be recognized by Hekate?
- Also, I have a brand new SD card formatted to exfat. Since it require Internet to be used (I have never used it with the switch and it needs activation), does it mean that I need to wait for the 6.2 hack to be released before getting any CFW?
You don't "install" CFW, you run it but yes you can use CFW/homebrew.Hello noob question here,
I have a mario oddysey bundle nonpatch, but my firware is 6.0 , can i still install cfw? thanks

No because .NSP files can be dumped from RCM which cannot be patched via a firmware update.Is that going to stop the eshop's .nsp files from being shared for future games? Especially updates and DLC since you can't rip those from from cartridges.
This thread details the safest way to play online with a hacked console.I got my switch this week, so I'm very new to this. I would like to know if it's safe to play online with a cfw as long as the game is an original copy from eshop.
That prompt is for the exFAT patch which your SD card is currently formatted to. Format your SD card to FAT32. If it is bigger than 32 GB, you will need to use a third-party tool such as GUIFormat.I just bought my switch and its running firmware 4.1, I followed all the steps in the guide to launch homebrew and I launch the firmware CFW in RCM mode but when I get back to the home screen its telling me to update my system to be able to read my sd card. I need help can someone please tell me what to do from here? I really don't want to update and end up with firmware 6.2
It might be a while before we have an exploit for patched units. I advise looking for an unpatched one. If its used, make sure it is not running firmware 6.2Hi guys, a quick noob question. I have a patched Nintendo Switch XAW700200.... Any chance patched units will be jail breakable in the future? Any recent update on this issue?
Yes and yes.Very important question please ansewr.If I install for example Reinx on my switch , will I be able to play the nsp installed games on my tv with the Dock?
And also Will I be able to use the gamecube controller adapter at the same time?
Thanks very much.Another question if you or anyone else knows,about the getting banned issue, I dont wont to play online at all for now, I just want to instal Reinx because from what I usdrstand it is the only cfw right now that you can play free games on, but my question is will the console be banned just by installing reinx?I repeat that I dont want to play online games at all right now.Yes and yes.

CorrectSo just making sure. Even if it's a launch switch. If it updated to 6.2 it can't run cfw as of right now correct?
Correct
Not directly. You have to install the .XCI games with a homebrew application such as dOPUS/n1dus or ZeroTwoXCI.can I play XCI games on ReinX CFW???
If the console came on firmware 6.X, its fuses are most likely already burnt to a count of 7 meaning you can't downgrade to 5.X without bypassing the fuse check aka using a substitute bootloader. You can check your fuse count with either Hekate or briccmii.how do i check my fuses i bought a switch with 6.0.1 immediately updated to 6.1 before doing anything I believe. so it sounds like no fuses were burnt
if its best to be on 5.1 id like to downgrade even tho i have zero problems now. seems more risky to downgrade to 5.1 anyways risking ban going online tho, hmm either way the info would be nice to know how to do ti
thnxz i will do more research for the applicationsNot directly. You have to install the .XCI games with a homebrew application such as dOPUS/n1dus or ZeroTwoXCI.
