Hey guys, so I am very interested in getting a Switch, I hope to get one to play backups on. I have a few issues currently though. I have tried do some research on it and am struggling a little. My own fault, but if anyone can answer some questions that would be very helpful.
I understand the serial number is linked to an issue with CFW, certain ones are patched by Nintendo not to work with CFW, will that be forever? And how often do we see these patched Nintedos in the wild (I cannot check serial before purchase sadly)
If the Nintendo is patched are there any other ways to play backups?
If I were to purchase a Switch it would come from 1 of 3 places, Argos (Ireland) Gamestop (Ireland) or a place like DID/Harvey Norman, I would not get to check the serial before purchase, but if I get home, check it and its a bad one can I just return it and try again in a different store?
Thanks again to anyone who answers, and to anyone who asks me to use the search function, I apologize, I have tried but I struggled
