Hi,

So there is someone that is selling me a unpatched switch (according to the serial number it shouldn't be patched) but it is updated to 7.0.1 so to be sure before buying it. Will i be able to hack my switch, add un CFW like SX OS (i know that i have to buy their thing pin + module usb C) and play downloaded game without buying them ?

thanks.

If it's being advertised as unpatched and has a serial number that suggests it's unpatched, then it's probably unpatched. On unpatched systems, CFW works with all currently released system versions (1.0.0-8.0.1, as of this post). If you don't want to pay for SX OS, Atmosphere is free and will allow you to accomplish your goals.

Oh nice then ! I thought that i couldn't add a CFW on a switch that has version 7.0.1.

Thanks ! I will obviously check the serial number before buying it but he said to me that is an unpatched.

But i have read that Atmosphere isn't that good, it's laggy and some times cause crashes.

I'd argue SX OS is buggier than Atmosphere, but regardless, SX OS is largely just a modified version of Atmosphere.

It doesnt matter wich CFW you wanna use. SX OS or atmoshpere, but you can play piratea games. I think this is what you really want to do.

Every CFW has pros and cons, but people like @Lacius that always gonna try to convince you about to choose athmosphere.

So first make sure that the switch you are going to buy is actually unpatched. Then, there is a lot of information about the pros and cons of al CFW (Athmosphere, SX OS, ReiNx, etc.)
Make sure you are choosing what you really want. A free option like Athmosphere or ReiNx or buy a SX OS linces.

For example I use SX OS because of Emunand (maybe athmosphere and ReiNx could get it tomorrow, in a year, who knows) and XCI loading through a USB Storage

My main point was that there are free alternatives to SX OS. Depending on one's needs, there's no reason to spend money on something that's free.

I personally find SXOS to be far more superior than atmosphere myself plus really easy to set up has multiple support tools and great working Emunand personally I’d spend the money for it plus the support team is great to work with

I know what is your main point, and you did here:

On unpatched systems, CFW works with all currently released system versions (1.0.0-8.0.1, as of this post).

But you always start with this and well...

There is currently nothing useful released for the end user of a patched switch. Or what can you do with a patched switch?

modded with: Atmosphere/Kosmos, cFW reiNx, homebrew, usb-hdd (for games) and so on.. the basic stuff.
but,your right. its harder to mod a patched switch,then a non-patched one,but it is possible (my switch has XaJ4006+ and modded!).
Maybe even with the latest firmware and the atmosphere emunand just for you. Proof or lies
