Hi guys, I'm waiting for my SX OS Pro to arrive and I've been researching a lot of information about switch hacking however I still have some lingering questions, would really appreciate if anyone can help
My Switch current firmware is 5.0.2 and I have no intention to play online, ever. But I'm keeping my sysNAND as clean as possible. I'm going to backup it then create an emuNAND, update offline to 8.1.0 and keep it offline forever.
1. Could there be any problem or complication if I don't update sysNAND firmware? I guess not because i'm going to run everything on updated emuNAND correct?
2. My Switch has a linked nintendo account with lots of purchased games that I don't want to risk, so I'm going to unlink it before I do any hacking. I've read that some new games require a linked account to work, can I just create a fake account then? I'm aware there's a homebrew called Kefir that link accounts offline but since I haven't hacked anything yet wouldn't creating and linking a fake account be easier?
3. My save files prior to hacking will be useless since If I transfer them to emuNAND this could cause a ban right?
4. If so, isn't even easier to just factory reset my switch before I do anything?
5. About efuses, if I keep my sysNAND on 5.0.2 and just update emuNAND offline they will be intact correct? And is mandatory to use AutoRCM when I update with ChoiDujour?
6. If for any reason I mess up and need to restore my 5.0.2 sysNAND backup, that wouldn't burn fuses and would work no problem right?
7. About SD cards, I'm going to use Fat32, Is it too much of a hassle to split games above 4gb?
8. I need to partition the SD card to use SX OS emuNAND?
Sorry if those questions are noobish I just want to be sure what I'm doing.
Thanks in advance for the help!!
