Hey, guys!
I just got a Switch, and, believe it or not, it's the launch model. I pre-ordered the console when it was first announced, but only had it shipped to me very recently (importing is tough).
I also ordered the SX Pro (with dongle and jig), but that still hasn't arrived. From my research, the first step before messing with the Switch is to backup the NAND, so is there an easy way to dump the NAND that without a proper jig?
If not, since I own a bunch of games in cartridge form, is there any way to play them without updating the console? I know physical games come with firmware updates for the system, but I want to keep my Switch in its original "virgin" launch day state as much as possible, and use an updated EmuNAND for homebrew.
I'm mostly interested in Super Mario Odyssey, which requires version 3.0.1, according to this forum (4.0.0 with the day one patch). I'm dying to play it, but haven't even turned on my Switch yet, as to not risk having it updated - and the eFuses burned forever.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
