Probably best if you wait.

Is there any way to play online?

I mean without getting banned...

No if you are on CFW, need a clean NAND to not get ban.

Okay thanks.Then i will stay on 6.2
But will i still be able to play and update the latest games on a low fw.

You can be on 10.0.x right now as the firmwares are supported by sx os 3.0.0, keep in mind when there is a new firmware update you might have to wait few days to weeks to get an updated version from SX OS.

Nope. Some Games and Updates require higher Firmwares. But if you have a EMUnand, you could update it to 10.X and play your Games on it, leaving the SysNand on 6.X.

Thanks!

You would have to restore your backup then create an emuMMC which will be a clone of thatbackup.

Would it be the same if I made emuNAND based on current sys, then factory reset emuNAND? Otherwise I'd have to backup current sysNAND -> restore previous sysNAND -> make an emuNAND from that -> restore latest sysNAND again.

I have a sd card with a emummc on it. The sd card have 2 partitions one for the Emummc and one for my CFW files Wich is formatted as exfat.

I want to make this exfat partition into fat32.
Can I just transfer the CFW, emummc and nintendo folder to the fat32 and everything should be fine?
Or is there another process I need to take.

No because a factory reset does not clean the NAND.

Yes, you can just transfer the folders elsewhere while you format the SD card to FAT32.

Ok here i go, i currently have a Switch with firmware 8.1.0 and Atmosphere. It's been a while and in the past i never update or downgraded. I want to go to 9.0.1 so i can play Animal Crossing New Horizons but i don't actually know how to update the switch from 8.1.0 to 9.0.1 and how to use a newer version of Atmosphere to load it up again.

So i found this video right here on how to install custom firmware of 9.01 but he's talking about when its brand new. I already have 8.1 and games installed on my switch so its different in my case.

I'm confused on what steps to take first. Do i need to delete everything from my SD card and then find out how to manually update from 8.1 to 9.0.1 (offline) first and after that follow the tutorial above so i treat it as if its brand new on 9.0.1? Or is there an easier way to update from 8.1 to 9.0.1 offline and have the correct atmosphere for the newer version?

Hopefully someone can help me! Thanks in advance.

Argos is selling a switch set with a little 'fortnite download for free from eshop' on the front (on eBay). I can't see (or pick) serial numbers, but does anyone know if this might be an unpatched one?

I can see MPN and EPN numbers listed but not the serial.

Main Question: How to sig patch?

Firmware: 10.0.4
AMS: 0.12.0
Payload: fusee-primary.bin
Using emuMMC.

I had just updated, so I'm assuming I'll need to wait for the patches to be released. I'm not in a hurry, so I rather wait than try to downgrade (which I assume is possible but cumbersome)
Questions:

1. Any good source to follow for patches? I found HarukoNX ES patches in github, are these enough? (once the appropriate version comes out)? I've heard of other types (kip and others)
2. Once patches for 10.0.4 are released, is it just copy/paste into atmosphere folder?
2.1 In some threads I've seen mentioned of having to modify config and/or ini files

Thanks a lot and please forgive the super noob question.

The answer is no. If it's patched, you need a modchip.

First of all, never ever follow video guides. They are outdated the second they are uploaded and never created by any trustworthy developers. Secondly, you can use the homebrew application ChoiDujourNX to update your firmware. As for updating your CFW, that is as simple as grabbing the latest files from whatever CFW you're using.

Only the serial number is used to indicate if it is patched or not. The date that the console was manufactured might help though as unpatched consoles were produced only before June of 2018.

1. Just use SDSetup and tick the box with the patches
2. The patches for 10.X has not required any changes as of yet
3. This is for people who manually download the patches separately from the CFW. If you use SDSetup, the patches and config files are pre-bundled reducing the headache

How safe is it to use hbgshop (or any other freeshop) with Emummc and incognito rcm??

Safe in terms of what?
