Son upgraded me to 7. My backup was old and brought me back at 5.1. 6.2 is a requirement for certain games. What can I do in this scenario? I would be good if I could get to 6.2, but not sure how.

I updated our Switch from 3.0.0 with 6.2.0 using ChoiNX. So I can downgrade back to 3.0.0 using ChoiNX if I want to. Well, a warm/coldboot are coming for 4.1.0 I think. A permanent CFW. :)

just saying, because those are 2 different app and iirc ChoiDujour cannot be used to update to 6.2.0 (6.0 max I think)

does work tried it on my EmuNAND was on 6.2 and downgraded to 6.1 so 6.0 isnt max

As has already been stated, use ChoiDujourNX to update to 6.2.0 or wait for CFW to support 7.0.0 in the coming days/weeks.

6.2 is a requirement for certain games.
This is true of some games and especially updates, but a lot of games that "technically" require 6.2.0 actually require something lower. If you're installing games using Tinfoil, you can ignore these fake system requirements by selecting the ignore option. You can use something like Switch Backup Manager to check what the actual system version requirement is by looking at the master key revision requirement for an NSP file.

It's also possible to decrypt a game and re-encrypt it to require a lower master key revision (if you have the newer keys), but it's much easier to just update to 6.2.0.

ah okay. because I remember reading somewhere that it doesn't work on 6.2
ChoiDujourNX is firmware-agnostic unless Nintendo rewrites firmware installations. ChoiDujour does not support firmware 6.2

I talked with someone who was an expert. I am wrong. Sorry. According to him:

there is no one working on finding a coldboot exploit at least publicly. there is only a theoretical hack for firmwares 3.0.1 and below

Nice guy, thought. Anyway, there you have it. :)


everything else is warmboot
